My son, 54 yrs, was diagnosed with primary parahyperthyroidism and osteoporosis. Very soon after that we discovered he was gluten intolerant and obviously has been for years. Eliminating the gluten has changed his life dramatically. Will this have any bearing on his thyroid? Will it alter his osteoporosis progression? He is taking AlgaeCal Plus and Stontium rather than Fosamax. He is also taking Vit. D, alpha lipoic acid, and a multi vitamin prescribed by his chiropractor. His thyroid dr. prescribed cincalcet. He also takes metoprol and amlodipine. I really don't want to use Fosamax if there is any other treatment.

For YEARS I`ve felt...not right to down right awful. I have joint pain, soreness all over, SUPER fatigued, depressed, high BP despite eating WFPB diet w/ ZERO sodium and exercising, heart palpitations (had Atrial flutter 5 years ago) etc. But I just thought that was from getting older (currently 63yr WM). Well, I checked my blood results from my yearly exams at the Veteran`s Administration and my calcium has been over 11.0 for 7 years! I asked the doc about it and she did another test for INTACT-PTH and PO4 and CALCIUM. My INTACT-PTH is 198.3! CAL is 11.4 and PO4 is low. So, for years and years I`ve suffered and suffered no one said a word or investigated further until i did my own research. And people wonder why veterans HATE the damn VA.

What a fantastic breakdown of such a complex concept! If only all doctors could communicate this clearly and concisely. Thank you for sharing your knowledge .

Caring for the patient is needed like this

I have a skin breakout on the bread area that is long lasting and a small breakout has developed on the neck. Not sure if it is related to shaving

Such a brilliant mind!

I have more or less all the symptoms but lab tests showed only PTH high …meaning ? Tsh and t3 ok but low t4 . Is it better ndt or sinthetic thyroid medicine. I don’t have whole thyroid and have been on medication for 6 years .Im getting sicker and sicker 😩

If high dose iodine works to shrink thyroid nodules due to a very common iodine deficiency (Dr David Brownstein) then why not parathyroid adenomas? I think it does work from personal experience

If you massage your neck where the tumor is will that break the tumor "legs" and cause the tumor spread?

My Endo says he's scratching his head over me. Normal calcium, D and high PTH ( fluctuates ) osteoporosis in forearm and hip neck. I want to feel better. Aches, pain, fatigue and brain fog.

Thankyou. That was very informative. I appreciate your time and expertise. I had my P A out 2 weeks ago. It was a bit harder than I imagined, But I also have PNH. (Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglibinuria) So I had to go off Warfarin and then onto a Heparin IV after surgery, then Clexane and back to Warfarin. I'm assuming it was more difficult because of swelling and bruising but unsure. I've never had this done before and so guessing. I'm in New Zealand. My ear Canal still has pressure sensation. Does this last long?

I have had several test with high PTH normal calcium,normal vitamin D ( it use to be low). 24 urine test was good. I have headaches, brain fog, bone pain and muscle aches. I had a T12 fracture with no incidence. I have osteoporosis in forearm and hip neck. I just got another PTH reading of high normal. The Dr said he is scratching his head over my issue.i need help.

What about lupus?

How long does side effects of vitamin d last ?

I had parathyroid surgery 5 days ago. Only one gland was removed and only the right side was checked. PTH right after surgery was 96, up from 85. I feel worse than ever. Hot flashes are returning after being 2 years post menopause. Not happy.

Thank you Doctor. My parathyroid scan results just showed I have a parathyroid adenoma because my endocrinologist wanted to find out what was causing my hypercalcemia. I am not surprised at the results. I'm just relieved we now have the evidence we needed. I'm certain she will schedule a parathyroidectomy for me. I just want to feel normal/healthy again!

I just had a cancer tumor thing removed yesterday. DFSP. Thought it was a Lipoma. 45 stitches inside and out to close up the hole.

Im so pleased to see this video! Great job. I wondered what exactly happened to me while I was out.

Dr. Como se llama la insición que usó??

Poor thing she had to get a procedure

I am going to Mayo for a biopsy in the next week; they are booked out a month ahead. This is a very important and good film. They have too many customers while you are looking for them. Work something out that's a win/win. Do a mutual study & make some more open access videos. 😘

,

How long does it take for the remaining parathyroid glands to start working properly again ,in 3 months post surgery,and the anxiety and leg oain etc is still going on Does it take time to adjust?

I remember once I got out of the surgery room and I started to wake up I started coughing violently and lifting my body off the bed and my stomach muscles stared to contract like I was doing sit-ups and I leaked the bed because my bladder muscles went weak.

Mh ptn tendd to frpm normal to 90 or higher

I had a partial hysterectomy back in 200t5 . I am now 52 and was on premarin for menopause.i was taken ofc premarin due to many symptoms

What causes this gland to go bad?

Love the clear and well-documented explanations! Jon A. CNMT

Do you do lives??? When?

Very helpful Dr larian

I have been diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism. I’m due for a consultation in a couple of weeks. My calcium however has never been above 10.0. Since I’ve read more about it I’m thinking that I finally have the answer to my daddy’s problems. At 67 he had an aortic valve replacement. The surgery took shockingly longer than expected by the surgeon because of the amount of calcium deposits in and around the valve. After that he continued to decline. Within a month he lost 25 pounds and was having delusional thoughts and hallucinations. He forgot how to do things. He was peeing constantly and his bladder was bloody and raw according to his urologist. The urologist even said it wasn’t contracting therefore causing urine to constantly be in his bladder. After another month he was placed in a mental hospital and given medication because of the severity of his delusions. He went into a catatonic state and the scans showed some atrophy but not enough to cause his catatonic state. He came home after a couple of weeks but we lost our daddy mentally in the course of two months and he never returned. It was like no one knew what was wrong with him. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and then had a shunt placed for NPH. I spent many years trying to figure out what had happened to him. I truly think he had this as well and it saddens me to know he could’ve gotten better. He suffered many years and the last few years were so bad. He eventually passed away from kidney failure. He had had kidney stones throughout his lifetime as well. Please share any feedback on this. I would appreciate if.

Excellent explanation of how the parathyroid hormone works. Well done. It's great to see this information not just for patients but for the medical community.

May vitamin D supplementation without calcium supplementation cause more harm than good by absorption of calcium from bone? Though it is learnt that indiscriminate use of OTC medication containing both calcium and Vitamin D is the third most common cause of hypercalcemia.

Sir can overnight grown parotid tumor be pleomorphic adenoma ?

Bravo.

Thank you for this video! I was just diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism and had a CT scan, ultrasound, and a Nuclear Medicine scan however none of them show anything wrong with the parathyroids! I was suggested exploratory surgery which worries me. Do you suggest any other tests?

pleomorphic adenoma surgery can causes permanent facial paralysis

SO HELPFUL. THANK YOU!

Thank you so much for this video!

How long does it take for joint pain to go away and anxiety ? I am just shirt of 3 months post op ?

Very interested in your information but you speak too fast.

Female, age 77 WFPB 26 months, weight 112, height 5’ 2” Beginning October 2023 Vitamin D25 was low (23). Since 2019 blood calcium is very high normal 10. PHT has creeped up to 75. Am I looking at hyperparathyroidism, and surgery? I have had osteopenia for several years and have taken Reclast infusions but seems that it’s stopped working and the endocrine doctor wants me to take another similar treatment (injections). All other bloodwork is perfect. I don’t take any prescription drugs. Do you recommend anything that I can do vs potential surgery? I don’t take calcium and do exercise a lot. I have no symptoms

I read that vitamin K too lowers blood calcium so is that a good solution versus surgery? Are we talking about two different things here. Thank you.

I’m 38 and high parathyroid level for almost about 2 yrs and I’m trying to have a second baby , is that something can effect a pregnancy ? Have seen dr.s never got a straight answer :/

Can it affect your eyesight as well? I got sick 2 years ago, almost overnight my bp went dangerously high. My eyesight is affected(I have areas in my vision that sort of "vibrate", and I cant read white text on black backround anymore). I've had spasms, losing feeling on my body. But I also noticed a rash type thing on my skin(arms, legs, even cheeks at some point), warmth and sun seem to make it worse. My thighs and scalp are so tender it hurts to touch. Inflammation markers have been up for 2 years but not enough to be a bacterial infection. I make sure I get enough elecrolytes and it makes the spasms a little better. For 2 years I've gotten worse and they still have no idea what's wrong.

It is caused by toxins in the environment that create mutations in the DNA. There must be a variety of them because we haven’t been able to isolate any one toxin. The only one we know is high dose radiation exposure
