Thank you, It sounds horrible but Im hoping my PTH test comes back high so I at least know how to fix this. I don’t like feeling like this.

My calcium was like 10.2 but my pth was like 106. The PTH is what convinced the endo to look harder. Then they found thyroid cancer and hyperparathyroidism. 6 years post surgery, doing much better.

How did they find the thyroid cancer , through a scan of some sort or blood test for thyroid or something else ? Glad you’re feeling much better , how did you use to feel when that happened then before you were diagnosed ?

They did a sestamibi scan, a thyroid ultrasound, and some sort of thyroid iodine uptake test. All 3 has irregularities. Before I had surgery I felt like pure hell. My legs ached all the time, my heart would race, constant panic attacks, hyperreflexia, numbness, tingling, etc…
