Thanks for the suggestion. I contacted my doctor today for a referal to a good specialist in the Memphis area. I have seen so many doctors this year and this may be the one I need. My family and I have been looking into this for a while. It is frightening. the parathroid site was very informative. As you can tell, this is the first time I have been involved with a forum.
I still think the parathyroid (dot) come site is very informative.
You can check that out too. Keep in mind many hospitals do the same things they do there. It isn't THE only place to get help.
the parathyroids regulate the calcium levels in the body. A high calcium count can mean parathyroid disease....most of the time caused by a tumor or nodule.
Parathyroid disease can make you feel miserable, so please make sure you follow up with a parathyroid specialists to see if this is the case for you.
Do your homework and reading on line and educate yourself as much as possible, so you can be your own best advocate.
