My Mood: Points: 2,642.04 Bank: 108.24 Total Points: 2,750.28 | Parathyroid Anyone have problems with their parathyroid glands? I was looking over my results from my thyroid surgery and it said one of my parathyroid glands was enlarged, so he tied a string around it (to make it easier to find later), but never told me to get it checked. Wondering if problems wiht parathyroid glands cause any problems, besides calicium issues.
Thanks! |

Although, they keep forgetting to tell me specific instructions for my bloodwork, apparently I shouldnt have been taking calicium for the test, but i still was. |
