Thyroid :: Natural Treatments For Primary Hyperparathyroidism?
I've been diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism on Thursday 5th of November, I was wondering if anybody has had natural treatment for this please?
In the meantime I'm going ahead with being put on the waiting list for an operation, I have my ultrasound scan tomorrow, Tuesday the 24th of November .
It would be good to hear from those members who have used natural treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism and to find out how you are getting on now please ?
I have had "M.E. " for 19 years , I'm being treated naturally, this helps with my weight and also some of the other symptoms , however I'm still not well enough to work and need help at home etc
Thyroid :: No Mini OP / MIRP In UK For Primary Hyperparathyroidism?
After a very painful kidney stone problem and thus being told I have Bilateral kidney stones; I have just been diagnosed with Primary hyperparathyroidism. The docs want to operate to remove the faulty gland(s) but I am very concerned about the procedure in the UK which does not seem to include the mini op or MIRP operation. Has anyone had this type of surgery in UK(either mini or other) and what were your experiences? I am wondering if I should travel to Florida for it?? I also have low vit D and they want me to take vit d supplements. I think this is dangerous to elevate my calcium level even more?

I have recently been diagnosed as having hyperparathyroidism and I am currently on the waiting list to have two nodules removed. On reading up on the condition sickness is a symptom but for some reason my consultant wouldn't say that my continued sickness for the last 18 months is being caused by my overactive glands. I am getting desperate now so is there anyone on the Forum who is suffering / suffered the same problem and after having the op felt human again ?.
View 5 RepliesThyroid :: How To Cope With Hyperparathyroidism?
I was diagnosed with this some years ago after suffering for years with kidney stones, they did try and remove my parathyroid glands but couldn't find them, mine aren't where they should be and further tests have come up blank as to where they might be in my body (looking for a needle in a haystack was the term used!) I take Bendroflumethiazide (sp) alternate days to alter the acid in my urine. I'm constantly tired and fed up being told i need to watch my weight and i should exercise more, i'd love to exercise more but some days it's all i can do to get my head off the pillow. I could go on and on here just wanted to know if there was any sufferers out there and wondered how they cope with this condition?

View 2 RepliesThyroid :: Red Bumps And Skin Irritation With Hyperparathyroidism
I noticed before I had surgery I would have red, irritated and swollen bumps that would turn into nothing short of a raised mass on my inner thighs. It really hurt! After the surgery they all left. Well it's been since October 26th 2015 that I hadn't seen them until today. I have them again which leads me to believe that the hyperparathyroidism was not completely cured. They took one adenoma but left a complex nodule. I ask the surgeon to look at all of my parathyroid hormones and he flat out told me no. I'm concerned that when I go back to the doctor that my levels will be back up. If not then there is another issue I don't know about. However, I still believe my skin irritations are from nodule he refused to look at. I'm no doctor though. But if anybody is having this issue and still feels really weak in their muscles I could use some advise as to how I can help myself feel better. I still ache.
View 2 RepliesPrimary Raynaud's Syndrome At 79
At the age of 79 I became aware that the pads on the balls of both feet felt tight and a bit puffy and hardish. Then gradually I experienced a sensation in my toes which I can describe as tingly. This area of both feet became susceptible to cold and required contact with heat pads to feel more comfortable. No pain is experienced. Walking seems to alleviate the tingling sensation. After a visit to a G.P. Raynauds Syndrome was confirmed and keeping the feet warm at all times was advised.
Although I live in a well heated bungalow I take heat-pads to bed at night.
In the morning my toes feel quite warm and look rather pinkish red. This condition doesn't affect my normal activities in any way after a year of beginning. 8)

View 3 RepliesMigraines :: What Are Common Symptoms?
I'm only 23, but I hope someone will take me seriously.
I've had a constant headache for about four weeks. It kind of fades in and out, but is still always there. I've had streaking pains in my head for about a year. There is also a spot on top of my head that sometimes feels like someone is drilling a hole in it, and I sometimes get this with the headaches. The top of my head is sensitive to the touch in some spots.
Also, I've had stomach problems for about two years now, and the doctors can't figure out what it is. I've had just about every test done, and everything says I'm fine. But I get nauseated and sometimes throw up after every time I eat, and sometimes when I just smell something bad or think something is going to taste bad.
I also have a very bad short-term memory and dizziness. I also can't keep my balance a lot. I've noticed some changes in my personality/thinking patterns. I keep thinking it's my bipolar disorder, though my psychiatrist is not sure I even have that. Anyway, I get very paranoid, I'm very obsessive and impulsive. I also have this thing with my speech where I sound like I'm dyslexic, but I've never had that until all these other things started happening. Oh, and I've had episodes of non-stop emotion/incessant crying and episodes of no emotion whatsoever.
The question I have is does any of this sound like something you're going through or symptoms?

View 1 RepliesHow Common Is It To Re-break A Bone? With Pins In It?
I am on week 7 out from surgery on a shaft fracture of the 5th metatarsal. The doctor put 6 pins and a metal bar, in there and no cast. I have been slowly building up to no crutches.
3 days ago was my first day with a cane instead of a crutch.
Stupid cane broke.
I had to walk back home on my heel with no support.
Since then, my foot has swollen, and I have pain in injury. I'm really nervous about this. I want to go get an X-ray but the hospitals are closed for the next two days. Chinese New Year.
How common is it to re-break a bone? And is it more or less likely with the pins? should the pins be removed at some point?

I only know 4 people that have had the snip and two of us have had big problems. I had the snip two months ago and am only just beginning to get over it. I immediately had an infection which caused my bollocks to swell like a melon- this burst the stitches and i got a secondary infection in the wound which no amount of antibiotics would get rid of so the doc had to put Silver nitrate on it to burn it shut. This let to a kidney infection and the pain is only just beginning to subside. I was seriously worried that i would never return to normal life but there is now light at the end of the tunnel for me. Some of the other poor bastards whose stories i've read make me so sad. Men are not informed of the potential pain or risks. If i had known how much it would damage me i would never have had it done - what's so bad about condoms anyway?
