Yes katya12, a new endocrinologist may be very helpful for you! In 2017 my pcp sent me to an endocrinologist in our town since my parathyroid numbers were not normal. That endo Dr said all I needed to do was take more vitamin D. Well he was wrong about that and 4 years later when my parathyroid numbers got even worse my new nephrologist and pcp wanted me to see an endocrinologist again. I told my primary care Dr that I did not want to see the same endocrinologist I saw in 2017. She said, oh he is no longer with our health system. Good I said! I saw a new endocrinologist who had very good reviews online when I researched him and at my first appointment with him, he said he believed I had hyperparathyroids and set up scans to check them. He then sent me to a thyroid and parathyroid surgeon who has done many successful parathyroid surgeries. He said that I needed surgery to remover the overactive ones. Wish I had seen him in 2017. But you can’t look back and so we just do our best to stay positive about our health and go forward. Good luck to you finding a new endo Dr. If you live near a large teaching hospital maybe that would be a good place to start you search. Sending healing and wellness wishes to you.
Hi..I sure hope you are able to find a new endocrinologist. It is so hard to get an appointment anywhere these days. I hope you had a restful and peaceful holiday..not fun when you are not feeling well. Take care..hoping you feel better. I am waiting for my results from my CT scan from friday. Sincerely, Kitty2
