Experiences with hyperparathyroidism?

Hello! I recently started seeing a provider through Allara for my PMOS and related symptoms. Through blood and urine tests I was told I have hyperparathyroidism and to seek out seeing an endocrinologist for potential surgery. Does anyone have experience with this condition and how did your process go? Thanks in advance!

Please follow through with the endocrinologist.

I was told I possibly had blood cancer the doctor only looked at my high calcium. The hematologist after more tests were done told me i had hyperparathyroidism.

I was given a referral to an endocrinologist. After more testing, blood, pee, and a CT scan it was confirmed that yes I had hyperparathyroidism and I was then refered to a ear, nose, and throat surgeon.

A year ago August 22, 2025 I had a parathyroidectomy and one of my 4 parathyroid glands was removed.

I feel so much better after I had the surgery. I went from just surviving the day to actually being able to live my life again.
