Parathyroid Disease Posted: 10-07-03 12:21pm
I have been dx with hyperparathyroidism in
the past. That is to say, I was
secreteing an abnormal amount of calcium.
The symptoms were rather vague, but my
most persistant complaint was that I just
didn't feel good. Fortunuately, I was
seeing an excellent i&d physician at
the time and he ran a complete chemistry
panel and discovered the high levels of
calicium. I then saw an endocrinologist
who monitored the calcium levels until it
reached 14 and then ordered an mri of my
neck. It revealed nothing and so, after
months of feeling lousy, I agreed to an
explorory surgery of my neck where they
discovered a tumor the size of a peach pit
that literally popped out with the first
incision. They removed it and now I feel
fine. Hope this helps.
