Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 The day after surgery, they took lab work and found my calcium was below normal and didn't treat. The day after that, they had me do another blood test and it was even worse and I felt tingly all over, so they immediately started me on 3 grams of calcium tablets and Rocaltrol three times a day.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 My Dr told me that it was really dangerous to have low calcium levels. He was so concerned that he told me to call immediately (day or night) if I felt numbness or tingling. He described it as feeling " weird " which I made him clarify. I would say that your friend could easily go to Walgreens (or the like) and pick up calcium/Vitamin D tablets and take them on her own. I took 2,000 mg for 4 weeks. It certainly won't hurt her. Hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 I was put on calcium right away because my levels were low after surgery. I did not find out until 3 months after surgery that my parathyroid glands were either taken out or damaged during surgery at least that is what my endo told me. I really did not know I was on the calcium until I asked. My surgeon wrote in a letter to my endo that they were identified and left in place. It seems this was kept from me on purpose, because no one ever brought it up untill I asked. She said she is going to wean me off the calcium and Vit. D if the blood test show up ok but that if I felt that tingling I should go back on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Doc's indicated that my parathyroids would kick back in (and they did) but treated me.. i was released from the hospital on a saturday, went sunday for blood tests, calcium was low, they gave me iv calcium, my levels didn't come back up so i was checked in for repeated iv calcium and stayed till a tuesday, and had blood tests each day to ensure that my calcium was at a good level and the parathyroids were doing their job barb dx pap thyca 7/3/99, tt 8/13/99, rai 4/24/00 63mci... clean scan 12/15/00 > > I'd really appreciate some feedback on this. > > Thanks, > > Gail > dx: 1968,TT,pap. & foll. well differentiated, RAI, rad.neck > dissection, lung surgery, hashimoto, iodine resistant, > existing thyca nodules in lungs.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 My doctor was very concerned about it and wouldn't release me from the hospital until symptoms abated and blood levels were OK. He gave IV calcium and finally had to use rocaltrol (a form of vitamin D) to aid absorption,which I stayed on for a month more as well. from what I've heard the doctors tend to really worry about this and be pretty serious about treating it. Being so low on calcium that youhave tingling is pretty serious I think.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 Hi Gail, Following my RND my calcium was low, the parathyroids never did kick back in. I was in the hosp a week after surgery--one reason being my calcium was very. Had the calcium IV' etc. A word of caution regarding the Vit D. The rocatrol taken by pts who suffer w/ hpth is a water soluble form and easily absorbed by the body. OTC Vit D can be od'd on--don't overdo the dosage. I agree w/ the gen consensus here on this site--this pt needs to be treated!! Good luck to your friend. lindalee@... dx 12-96 follicular w/ bone mets 4 RAI= 840mCi 300mcg Synthroid HPTH Pgh., Pa Gail Gundling wrote: > Hi all, > > I know there are plenty members here who experienced low calcium > immediately following their thyroidectomy.

I had that problem and in fact had to stay in the hospital for 5 days til it got regulated. I was very uncomfortable....cramping, drawing in of my hands, and the tingling.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 Hi Gail, I too am a suffer of low calcium due to parathyroids being damaged and two of them being removed. They started me on calcium right away. I was taking at one point, 9000mg per day I have weined myself down to 1200mg every other day, though sometimes the tingling will start again and then I take it daily for a while. They've been watching my blood levels for calcium along with my TSH but it's different every month. One month I'm low and the next normal and then low again. Tell your friend to have her doctor do a blood test. I was having them every other day for about three weeks. Hope that helps Jane 11/21/01 TT, dx Papillary Carcinoma 3.0cm x 2.5cm Right lobe, and under a cm left lobe, 1/18/01 RAI i131 75.2mCi, 4/16/01 still slightly hypo at 5.6 Synththroid .150 daily New Scan and RAI at the end of July, Radiologists says I'll need a larger dosage this time around due to large remnant left behind. Low Calcium post TT Hi all, I know there are plenty members here who experienced low calcium immediately following their thyroidectomy. My question is did your doctor choose to treat it immediately or make you wait a week or so to see if your parathyroids kicked in? I am writing to someone right now who is struggling with tingling and feeling terribly uncomfortable from low calcium but her doctor refuses to give her anything, making her wait it out. I'd really appreciate some feedback on this.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 I was sent home with a prescription for calcium pills. None of my parathyroid were damaged or removed, according to the pathology report. My calcium levels never dropped too low but, I'm still taking the pills. They will check my levels again in June but, until then a little extra calcium won't hurt anyone. Re: Low Calcium post TT > I was put on calcium right away because my levels were low after > surgery.

The patient is now taking calcium and >insisting on a blood test!! > >Gail As a follow up, and before my memory fades anymore, I was at a Thyroid cancer update session today as the token patient observer. One speaker had some stats on parathyroid/calcium problems following thyroidectomies. point 1. the incidence varied quite widely by location. The worst facilities where an order of magnitude worse than the best. point 2. there was clearly a very different picture on the short term - versa long term stats. Some places were recording as high as 24% of patients having problems in the short term. The long term stats spread between a best of 0.3% to as bad as 9%. The best was a French facility. Here in the UK the best was 1 or 2% I will try and write up some more of the event - but I am not a very good note taker. So treat this as maybe-hearsay rather than fact.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2001 Report Share Posted April 30, 2001 Hi The patient is doing very poorly because of very poor medical treatment. This is someone I don't know, and have only given supportive information to on the internet. It is infuriating when doctors treat patients with indifference. The patient is in an unknown experience with no support or information. If not for the saved information I had from Dr. Rolla and all the information you folks supplied she might not have known what to do and what to ask for. She has now been to ER repeatedly, had tetany and inadequate dosing of calciumm rolcaltrol was added on Saturday and increased today. She had to argue with her doctor today about getting another blood test. It's very disheartening to read about doctors who treat patients this way. I never experienced a calcium problem in my treatment so all the feed back from everyone on the list really has helped.
