Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 this is off an osteoporosis support group Some time ago I wrote asking if anyone had ever associated osteoporosis, or calcium loss with memory deficiency. I was to see my endochronologist about it after taking yet another of several urine tests. To make a short story shorter, my endochronologist completely dismissed my concerns, saying he knew of no connection between calcium levels and memory deficiency. I have since received a e-mail from my smart sister-in-law containing an article from the New York Thyroid Center Home page addressing a condition called hyperparathyroidism, that can occur when blood calcium levels become too low. To make a LONG article short, when one has this condition, calcium is released in the blood, bypassing the bones, resulting in osteoporosis. If successfully and timely treated, there is some reversal and restoration of the bone loss. According to this article, one of the symptoms of excess calcium in the bloodstream is memory loss. I have another appointment with this endo next month and either see if we can come together on my treatment plan or try someone/somewhere else. Does anyone know if there is a major center somewhere for the study and treatment of osteoporosis? Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
