I was diagnosed with 22q11 in my early 20s now 39(m)My specialist refuses to optimize my parathyroid but happy to see them at "normal" range.

[@amritpandey4600]

Please include usual doses of drugs used, blood levels of different parameters also in all of your videos. That would be helpful 😊.

[@spirofarmaku6772]

I got two questions, is the treatment lifelong and does it cause hairloss

[@zeotee1384]

As someone with Idiopathic Hypoparathyroidism (Basically came out of nowhere), this is accurate. I am 12 and was just diagnosed after having a severe 2 minute long seizure at my bestie's birthday party ( Great time, I know.) My case is not genetic or removal of parathyroid glands. It just came. Lolll!!!! I take Tums (Calcium supplements) and something called Calcitriol. It's hard to describe what it does. Overall, accurate video from someone with the disease. 10/10.

Thanks for the feedback! 😊

[@tHeChIrGiS]

it can be autoimmunal as well... I probably have it too. My Phosphat levels are way too high and my Calcium dangerously low... so I have to get it checked out now...

[@zeotee1384]

@@tHeChIrGiS Here is some advice from someone who has it. DON'T WAIT TIL YOU GET A SEIZURE. Seizures due to crazy calcium and phos levels S U C K

[@Lppt87]

I think mine is autoinmune, I hVe another autoinmune disease history too, but yet not diagnosed. I had to have 5 seizures and 5 hospitalizations to finally find my pth vit k and calcium low… currently taking suplements and calcitriol, but somedays I collapse IDK if is my autoinmune flaring or if I need more supplements.

​@@Lppt87I'm suffering from same And had to have 2 seizures. Can I please get ur number or social media I'd ? I just want to ask u some ques regarding this .

Good video. In treatment : mg2+ because magnesium is required to activate vit D

[@Akanksha-be7bz]

Does Mg affect parathyroid hormone too?

[@tracysmith-yv5lt]

@@Akanksha-be7bz mg needed to absorb vitamin D

[@genuineimpulse9134]

Also related to ALA to DHA conversion. If you are vegan it may cause issues including seizures, also choline deficiency. @@tracysmith-yv5lt

Can hypercalcemia be a reason for hypoparathyroidism ?

[@duhamiraj2749]

I think such videos should go a lil slow because when we change the speed from KZbin its not natural and irritating so pls make explanations a bit in calm way or slightly slow it would help me am sure and many others like me thank you 😀

[@osmosis]

Hi Duha! You may adjust the playback speed of the video at the bottom of the video player. 👍🏼

How much times did you mispronounce hypoparathyroidism recording this ? 😉 Great video BTW!

[@zeotee1384]

I've heard hypoparathyroidism so many times by now it's second nature. partially because I have it myself! I was diagnosed after having a seizure at my friends freaking birthday party and went to a hospital for 1 week. I was diagnosed a few months ago ( I'm 12,btw) and this came out of nowhere. No genetics or parathyroid surgeries. Just life being the crockpot of madness it is. 😤 It's not that bad, tho. I take tums (calcium) every day and let me tell you! There's so many flavors of tums. Chewy bites are the best!! S tier. Mint ones are good, too! Lol. 😀
