Guest guest Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 > > > This may be the wrong list to ask but here goes. What are opinions on this condition and surgery? I had high serum calcium, high parathyroid hormone, and a scan revealed one parathyroid adenoma. Surgery is the only way to treat the problem. I noticed a difference immediately after surgery. The high calcium was contributing to my brain fog/ spaced out feelings/ cognitive problems. One endo told me that " the outcome of the surgery is dependent on the skill of the surgeon " . I believe that. I know that the surgeon who removed mine was highly skilled, so I was not concerned about the risks of surgery. It would be good to check the surgeon out (there are internet sites where patients rate doctors). I wouldn't be concerned about how " nice " the surgeon is, just how skilled. > My calcium levels in the norm.high range & are climbing. Mine were above the normal range, and climbing. I was told that the Ca level shouldn't climb fast, but it did. > I had to stop calcium supps and any med with cal. I was told to stop Ca supplements and vit D but I actually found that I felt much worse without vit D. I continued to supplement vit D, but can't remember if I supplemented Ca at the time. I was told to drink 3L of water a day, but I found that no matter how much water I drank, the Ca still was climbing. > Calcium containing foods cause reactions. > > I have slight swelling in the throat that does not correlate with anaphlaxis. Pulsating is visible on in the shallow area below the adam's apple, above the collar bone. > > Does anyone know a good endocrinologist in the St. Louis area to test further? An endo might be able to order the parathyroid hormone test and parathyroid scan, but you will need a surgeon to remove it (if there is one, or more). >Yes I have yeast & most likely metals to look into My adenoma was removed before I removed amalgams and started to chelate. After surgery I supplemented Ca and vit D, and one year later my bone density was significantly above the normal range for my age and size. Good luck. J > but want to look into this. I have to run a DD test, as ran one by ARI. > http://www.parathyroid.com/ > > Thanks, Kathy B. > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
