Hello - I am new to this site and although I have thyroid issues (Hoshimotos / Hypothyroidism), my question is regarding the Parathyroid. However, I could not locate a specific Parathyroid section on the Forum list.
I am almost two months post Parathyroid surgery. I had a 2.1cm adenoma removed. Pre-surgery my PTH was 198 and immediately following the surgery my PTH dropped to 48. I just had a checkup with my Endocrinologist to check all levels. My calcium was good at 9.9, but my PTH was back up at 95. I am having my levels checked again in 3 months. Does anyone know why my PTH would be elevated so soon after having a normal reading of 48?
I suffered for so long before the Parathyroid adenoma was discovered and I do feel better since the surgery, but I am so scared of going back to the way I was feeling. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you. :)
