I’ve been referred for parathyroid removal since recently being diagnosed with hyperparathyriodism. 38 y/o, had kidney stones like 5 times since age of 19, calcium at levels above 11 and 12 in 24h urine, and no one has ever found this at health check-ups before (blood levels of ionized calcium is really high apparently). Nervous for the surgery but glad it’s finally been discovered!

I took two prevagen a day for 11 months while in school and I lost weight about 5- 8 months in. It’s been 4 years. And I’m still with the same weight loss. Should I worry. How can I reverse the effects. Knowing now what I know the recommended dose is once a day. I would like to gain my original weight back

Just found out that my calcium is higher than it was last week. It’s now 11.1. I hope I don’t have cancer. We just had twins! 😢

150 mg of Spironolactone (prescribed for hormonal acne) taken daily cause mild hypercalcemia?

What about salivary stones

No clue why my nephrologist won’t get me tested for parathyroid. Just keeps piling the pills on and they aren’t working at all. Only been getting worse 😠🤬

I drank 2 bottles of Pocari Sweat (an electrolyte drink) in a short period of time and now have had stomach pains for the last 24 hours. Can just water fix this?

How about cutting calcium foods, more magnesium, k2, instead of more drugs that create more problems?

Why is surgery only suggested for those under 50? I believe those are outdated guidelines set in the 1960s. Had parathyroidectomy at 53. Feel so much better. Suffered from anxiety, extreme fatigue, had early onset cataracts and gallstones -- suspect hypercalcemia played a role. Rethink that under 50 criteria please

Chronically high insulin? No one talks about dietary concerns.
