Parathyroid (rather than Thyroid)
by Maggie2007, Mar 18, 2009 07:38PM
Hi,
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos Hypothyroid over a year ago and am on meds. My labs have looked good, but I still don't feel right.
My endo did more bloodwork and had me get an ultrasound of my thyroid area. It was enlarged (expected), but there seemed to be parathyroid adenomas. More bloodwork was done that showed that my calcium and PTH were normal. He is sending me to get a CT Scan (with and without contrast) of my parathyroid area.
What in the world can this be? It wouldn't be hyperparathyroid, right? All I could find about this situation is that my endo would need to do a lot more tests. But for what?
Any ideas???
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm a post p-thyroid patient and went through all of the joys of hyperparathyroidism...Check out Parathyroid.com for lots of info that may help you...Do you know what your PTH and calcium levels were? I know you said they were in range, but if they are both in the upper end, your body may still be in the "compensation" phase, being able to urinate out enough calcium to keep it down...for now...Take care and let us know how you do! ~MM
Any ideas?
I'm hoping its nothing serious.
Thanks again!
