Hi All,

I thought I'd post this site as a start for research into the parathyroid gland, as this gland is not often mentioned, but can be affected, both directly and indirectly by lyme disease.

The thyroid is often affected by one or more TBDs. The parathyroid gland is hooked up to the thyroid(duh), but seems to be overlooked.

This link is meant just as a start for a look at the parathyroid gland.

pq

Several years later she went into calcium shcok, had zero in her body, she should have been put on calcium after they removed the glands but never was.

But I did go to an endocrinologist just to be safe. He rerans the tests - still high. Then I had the urine clacium test done. That was OK. Six months later I had that redone and still OK. He didn't know a thing about Lyme.

When he was going down over my symptoms and he asked if I still had body aches and pains, muscle pains, headaches, etc.? When I said yes but it was probably Lyme he acutally said do still have that? I thought you took antibiotics!!

Left there and never went back.

Could it be the Lyme affecting causing the high calcium?

I checked out the website then for the DR in Florida. I figured I'd go that way if that was what it was rather than the long incision and not knowing for sure which gland was bad. I could see them in my neck searching and not finding the right one!
(I guess my faith in doctors is not that great here of late.)
