Can this cause hoarseness, throat clearing all the time? I have fibromyalgia diagnosis.

fibromyalgia misdiagnosed as this disease?

What do you think about the idea that taking Calcium with Vitamin D can impact CV health? See here pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6822648/#:~:text=CALCIUM%20SUPPLEMENTATION,-Per%20the%20IOM&text=6%20As%20mentioned%20above%2C%20another,in%20combination%20with%20vitamin%20D

If my PTH intact result is 82, but my latest DEXA actually showed improvement, what is going on? When I was initially diagnosed, all my levels were normal except for PTH. My symptoms could be persistent weight loss, muscle fatigue and the fact that despite my being a dedicated vegan for 17 years and a lifter for 35 years, I have deflated into a sharpei puppy. I lost 35 pounds since menopause and can’t get it back. My face is aging much faster than it should. Despite drinking 2 liters of water daily (not including the litany of fresh produce snarfed down every day), I look dehydrated. Is this part of the fun of the disease?!

Can you please tell me what it means on bloodwork results when it states that Tertiary is high and it also states hypercalcemia. Thank You

I have all these symptoms. Getting surgery soon.

Thank you for these incredibly informative videos, Dr. Larian. I am currently dealing with a tumor on my parotid gland and your videos help to calm my fears. I am Canadian, so the procedure won't cost me anything, but the slow movement of our health care system has me worried about the tumor spreading. I only hope that my ENT surgeons are as informed and professional as you are. Thanks again.

Hey Dr Babak can u please reply I’m super scared for my one there was one lymph node involved in my case Starting my radiation on Monday but I’m super scared for it

Thankyou so much Doctor.you are like an angel for people living life of hell for years. My PTH was at 131 with calcium at 10.3, vitd 56, 3 year ago. Recently got it done again not PTH is 152, calcium 9.4 and vitd 34. Having symptoms of Anxiety, may be depression, Muscles pain, bone spur at Achilles tendon, bone pain, memory issues, feels older, fatigue, mood swings, Gallstones surgery done 2 year ago, fracture in tail bone etc but haven't had kidney stones so far. Pls suggest if above problems are due to Hyper Parathyroid and I'm right candidate for surgery? No parathyroid found in USG. Now doctor has suggested for Sestamibi Scan. Kindly suggest should I go for Sestamibi or 4D ct.

Why can’t doctors diagnose this ? I’m going on a decade of suffering symptoms. Pth 85 ca 10.4 my scan shows nothing. Now have ckf 3a. Seeing endocrine specialist soon. Feel like I will die soon. No one listens

My period tumor grew into my lymph node. I had a total period removal. I still have them in my left peritid gland. 😢😢

Parotid tumor ( Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma) removed June 2023, followed by radiation. Clear scans every six months until now, possible metastasis in liver. Awaiting more tests, but unable to find any info related to this scenario. Do you have any resources for this topic?

Radiation

Hi dear doctor🌹I'm glad to find your videos so I can know more about my situation. I'm 50 and I found that I have hypoparathyroidism also osteoporosis. My PTH is around 130 and vit D 40. My calcium is normal and through Colline pet scan it was diagnosed two of glands are bigger and affected but doctors advised me to not do surgery as my calcium is normal. Actually my main complain is pain in my upper right belly under my chest for more than three years. After a lot of investigation nothing has been found. Also I take Prollia injection every six months. I want to know what is the consequences of late surgery? If it's OK to wait?

I’m about to go through this surgery and I’m so happy I know why I’ve been feeling this way I’ve been feeling can’t wait for this to be over and I get my young body back iam 36 and I went from energy to nothing good thing is I force myself to work out and work through this this had been affecting me tremendously I’m ready to just be back to myself

I need your help fast. Please respond to me with your contact please.

Hi Doctor, excellent demonstration, Sir. How can you reach you for a consultation? Can you post your contact information on your site.

I'm 34 and in a lot of pain every day. I have several autoimmune diseases and am getting tested for another one. Recently, I had severe swelling in my neck, jaw, and salivary and parotid glands, which sent me to the ER. The swelling was so bad that I couldn't speak. I was given steroids, saline with dextrose, and an anti-inflammatory. The swelling gradually subsided, but I still need to have bloodwork done for symptoms of Sjogren's. I had it again and thank goodness in a week it subsided. I'm so tired. I have fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, possibly premature ovarian failure, psoriatic arthritis, scoliosis, and chronic bone and joint pain. Life is challenging enough as it is, and I wish I was at least thriving, but that's not the case and life has been brutal, as it has been to others. I feel like I'm dying lmfao...but I try not to take life too seriously. 😉😂 I take a biologic for PsA/PsO once a month. I'm so thankful for something that helps.

Thank you for this information

Anyone done the incision in india i wana know hospital location nd cost?? I will be thankful for the help

I am due to have my operation in December and have only just been told that my symptoms are almost identical to peri menopausal symptoms, which I have been taking HRT for! Why wouldn't my GP have linked then two especially as she noticed the high calcium and referred me to the specialist! I am hoping my energy, my low mood and aches and pains will get better after the surgery but am scared to believe they will! 😢

you seem so wonderful - I am in Ohio and have surgery Dec 17th. I also have laryngeal reflux - cough a ton - on medication but still cough..plus osteoporosis - hoping this surgery gets my calcium do a normal level - has been in the 10 range for over 10 years

I have same problem 😭😭

Three weeks post op from one PT gland being removed. My incision looks great, though the area is still a little puffy. I used to pee ALL night. Less in the day. That's improved. I was very fatigued before, now I see I'm napping less. Irritability was the first sign something was awry for me, I feel more calm....depending on who's around me. lol I did not have any osteoporosis before. Though I did have a kidney stone. I want to say I have a little anxiety at times but managable and I expect it to decrease. I'm so happy I had surgery by a wonderful Doctor in Paramus NJ. Excellent care at my Hospital, too. Thanks Doc for breaking this down for us! Enjoy your content a lot.

My pth is 549, hopefully having surgery soon so I have some energy

I had my tonsils removed in late March 2023 and while it was the most painful surgery to recover from as an adult at age 41, it was worth it in the end. I had constant infections and moderate sleep apnea. Make sure you stay hydrated and take pain meds around the clock. If you skip a dose or wait too long, it takes awhile for the pain meds to kick in. I also drank protein shakes because solid food is hard to eat especially during the first few days. Cold or room temperature foods and drinks are good. Hot foods or drinks were a no go for me. Be sure to eat something you want the day before because it will be at least 2-3 weeks before you can eat a normal diet. Since having my tonsils out, I only had one cold and I recovered quickly from it and my sleep apnea improved and I only have slight sleep apnea. Follow the doctor’s advice. I did end up in the ER for dehydration and got IV fluids on day 8 of recovery. Days 6-10 were the worst pain wise. Once day 11 came, the pain gradually started to subside.

So the dynamic between the calcium and the PTH levels determines the enlargement of the PT gland. The enlarged gland of which might be one or more of the four glands is determined by the relationship between the two and how they interact. Did I get this wrong? Thanks so much for explaining and if I got this wrong, let me know if you can.

My domestic partner had two of the parathyroid glands removed October 29th 2024. She has suffered from symptoms of chronic fatigue, brain fog, confusion, forgetfullness, anger, anxiety for year and years and despite me having her view many post op videos she thought she was going to be healed of all symptoms the next day. She was actually hysterical and wanted to be taken to an emergency clinic because she still had all the symptoms. I managed to get her to calm down and convinced her that she has to take it day by day -- years and years of symptoms don't neccessarily disappear overnight. Now a week later she is noticing improvement and is hopefull instead of depressed and fatalistic.

You’re talking about me, Doctor! I am dealing with an 8mm kidney stone that has moved from my left kidney and is stuck in my ureter. I’m on 600mg of gabapentin at bedtime because I have such terrible burning in my thighs, torso, lower back. No one can figure out why! 😢 Joint pain, muscle aches, legs don’t work right and feel like lead. Extreme fatigue. Intact PTH has been as high as 134. Vitamin D has been as low as 11. Calcium is “normal”, so I’m considered secondary hyperparathyroidism. Calcium is in the 9’s. Has never gone over 10. A suspicious parathyroid growth or tumor has been detected on 2 scans but is being ignored by doctors. One scan was the sestamibi scan, one a thyroid ultrasound. I also have a tirads 5 thyroid nodule that I was told was cancerous when I had the FNA done (2 needles got clogged due to calcification, but the surgeon submitted clear fluid to pathology. Benign!). I want a second opinion. Now they found my endometrial lining is very thick and may be malignant. I have to go to the OR for the biopsy. It’s never ending! 😢 Could all of these hormonal diseases be related?? Help!! 😢 I just turned 64.

Thank you doctor. That is my case. I have high blood pressure and all the other symptoms associated with this. Getting my CT scans and bloodwork as you recommended. Your staff was great

I had bilateral parotid gland tumours. Both pleomorphic adenine’s. But on one side I needed 5 weeks radiation therapy

I’m having surgery in two weeks. I have normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism. I’m nervous about my calcium being too low after surgery. I was diagnosed with full blown osteoporosis at my first DX and I’ve had a few kidney stones over the years starting in my 20’s. The main goal of my surgery is to hopefully stop bone loss. I’m 62 so some of the symptoms of this disease seem to coincide with aging. I hope my doctor is making the right decision. Do you have any thoughts? Should I be hesitant to have surgery? All other causes for high PTH have been explored and everything has been ruled out as a cause.

If I had the money I would see you Had surgery 6 months ago and calcium is 2.5 pth 3.2 is that normal ? Just worried I've had this for 2 or 3 years before ,I didn't have calcium tests untill 18months ago Scared it's caused damage ( doctor here in NZ is useless (

Very helpful thank you. I am 39, and I’ve always had fibromyalgia, but the fatigue and pain has been much more severe the last 6-8 months. My parathyroid just tested as 72 ng/L. However, my calcium and vitamin d levels are normal. We are doing more tests and possibly a referral to an endocrinologist. If the parathyroid is truly the issue and could be cured with surgery I will be THRILLED. This fatigue is all-consuming. I have pretty much every other symptom on the list as well. Except for the calcium/d levels.

Hi I got my surgery 1 week ago, I still has the drain on my neck but the drainage has stopped so the doctor is going to remove it tomorrow. Everything is going well my nerves are working perfectly.

Thank you doctor for making these great informative videos.

Mine is caused by lithium side effects, how does a doctor treat it?

27yo just had my tonsils removed 5 days ago, it gets worse after the first day but make sure to drink lots of water and take your medication on time before the pain hits hard, also sleep all day First thing i noticed at the recovery room is i can have a deep breath which is amazing

My doctor keeps telling me my low vitamin D makes calcium high but she must’ve run her own studies because nobody else seems to think so! Time for a new doctor I think 😢

I need to know something about this disease can any one help me out of this

I'm 57 fixing to have tonsils taken out

is there an inccident that ur client face collapse because you damage the facial nerves? please reply ty

How is the prognosis of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma I had the lump since I was a kid but unfortunately they didn’t do anything as it was pleomorphic adenoma And turn to be cancerous now The tumor size was 4cm but the cancer was 2cm

I just had a parathyroidectomy last week. The most uncomfortable thing was the sore throat from the tube. A week and a half after surgery the one thing that still bothersome is my throat swelling. I understand that goes down after a few weeks.

Dr. #Larian, thank you very much! I am hypertensive, 135/100 with med, I feel fatigued, especially in my calves and legs, PTH 127 & then after 6 months 167, total Calcium 9 & 10 after 6 months, general discomfort, mild constipation, my vision becomes blurry quickly when I socialize and get excited or if I get angry or even when I become happy! Creatinine has been progressively lowering from 1.63 to 1.0 over 9 months, while BUN has gone up from 13 to 22! I walk about 7 kms a day, do breathing exercises, eat right, quitted smoking and alcohol, almost a year now, but B.P. is high and I am constantly challenged by it. I am optimistic that I will heal completely, but if u have any suggestions to expedite my complete recovery, please share them with me here! Age 41, Sex Male, Nationality Ethiopian. Thank you! Oh, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides, Cholesterol all have improved significantly over the last 6 months and Vitamin D has risen from 23 around 8 months ago to 76. Took 50,000 IUs once a week for 6+ months.

I had some blood tests with my GP and advised my calcium was low and prescribed calcium for 14 days. In the mean time noticed a lump in my neck, went for an ultrasound and now referred to head and neck team as it’s my parathyroid gland with some swollen lymph nodes. All the symptoms you describe make me believe I have hyperparathyroidism. Thank you for this informative video

Great video. Explains all the symptoms of having hyperparathyroid problems

Thank you, Doctor! Love your videos! I had a parathyroid removed Jan. 2023. Six months or so ago, I noticed a "lump" on my right cheekbone. A pulmonologist ordered a CT scan about two months ago which didn't show "anything." I have a new Primary Care physician as of last week and he wants to take a "wait and see" approach for another month because it hasn't really grown much. What are your thoughts? Thank you!
