Hypercalcemia

[Marismom59]

My mom is 53 and is sufering from Hyprcalcemia but Doctors are unable to diagnose her. She has been tested for Cancer with a bone marrow and all they said was that she had no cancer but they are concerned because she has plasma and protein in her bllod cells. She is always tired, sleepy and has heart palpitations but EKG's come out normal. She also has sver headaches and her bones ache and is depresed. She does not have hyperthiroidism. HELP! We are running out of ideas and Doctors cant figure anything out. She is on two medications to help with calcium levels but they arent helping!!!!!! She was hospitalized but let go because they controled the calcium level but now its bakc up. Please help!

So glad I read this.  She needs an endo to work up her thyroid and parathyroid.  Sounds like a tumor on parathyroid.  High calcium is very dangerous.  God speed

Hypercalcemia is a diffcult diagnosis to work up. However there are clear flow chart step by step instructions on  what to do next.  If you would like to reply with an email address I will scan and email to you.
There is no way on this forum to attach anything.
It appears checking the Parathyroid is next.  Remember this is in no way connected to the thyroid other than it is physically sits next to it in the brain. Its a  totally different thing.
