Hyperparathyroidism

[2old2beamum]

Have just received the above provisional dx of the above. I am quite old & have been feeling crap for just over a year. Finally went to G.P. bloods revealed high calcium & haemoglobin. Put symptoms fatigue aching bones misery guts insomnia etc down to being a busy ma to 2 very dependent DC's, has anyone any experience of this? Was a very upbeat and +ve person and I don't like myself at present G.P. has referred me to endrocrinologist.
TIA

Hi, not me but a friend of mine had this so I only know vague bits....

She is late fifties and was feeling quite dreadful, very tired, no short term memory, achy.

Ultimately she had an operation with a fab surgeon and you would not believe the difference, she is like a new person!

Good luck

Thanks for thatlookbutdonttouch I can really identify with your friend although I am a liitle older I feel absolutely knackered but I think it is summed up as "moans, groans, bones, stones and psychiatric overtones! Am so pleased to hear that surgery is successful. Bring it on!!
