Parathyroid Disease and Treatment

[@ruthgilmour8399]

Excellent. Thank you so much. I just had 2 parathyroid glands removed and feel very good. More people need to see this.

FOLLOW THE LIGHTS!

So if you have normal calcium level . And vit D is 43 . But intact pth is 83

[@Kidges]

I just had three parathyroid glands removed and I never had high calcium. PTH would go up and down over the last few years. They looked into mine further due to worsening osteoporosis

[@ajsdream]

I wish drs would do more for then to increase vitamin D My PTH is off the charts

[@DERISNER]

Me too. my pth is 200.0, my calc is 11.4, and my VA doc says "take vit. D supp"... I have ZERO QOL. In pain constantly.

[@tracysmith245]

I need an IV for hypocalcemia not ever needed one yet though thankfully needed to reduce my calcium back to low again made it go to 3.8 should be low no parathyroid told me to double my dose to 4 a day lucky have a blood test that day literally saved my life

[@anihesni2452]

Very interesting and clear explanation for those who know little about hyper parathyroid function. Is there any way where food intake can affect PTh. To regulate the calcium balance in the blood surely food,medication plays a role? Thank you for your reply

[@kimwestra2961]

Thank you!!!

Went from low vitD then supplements now high! PTH low. Calcium slowly raising by .2 yearly.

[@juliewallace515]

I am on a high dose of vitaminD because I was told I am deficient in this vitamin.my pth fluctuates from normal to 90

[@paulpickering2302]

Hiw do we convert mmol/L to mg/dl in uk the reading seems different the conversion is confusing I am a patient with 2.8mmol/ liter thank you

I wish my nephrologist would send Me to have mine tested. I’m positive there is something going on with it. But he’d rather just give me pills 😡😡.
