Male friend at 35 also had lots of strange symptoms and figured out on his own that it was also hyperparathyroidism. He also went to Norman and sings their praises. He was eating dinner in Tampa the night after his morning surgery! They removed two para tumors. What's odd and probably why it took so long for his diagnosis is that it's usually a disease in older overweight women. He was the only young skinny man they saw all day.

He now found out he also has pretty severe apnea (been a pretty loud snorer for years) and isn't sure if it's related or not. The surgery did help but didn't solve everything so found the apnea next and is now on CPAP. Always something!

Good luck and feel free to message if you have any questions about the procedure.

Thanks. I'm even younger than your friend (29 male)! Never noticed any apnea myself or any problems that would not be explained by this disease, so I'm hoping for complete resolution of all issues. Maybe even my mild tinnitus (constant high-pitched noise, unconcerning) will get better, I guess it could be due to the ossicles getting demineralized :)

He probably had it for over 15 years with high calcium tests every year on his physical. No doctor ever mentioned it as a problem as his health just degraded year after year. He figured it out himself and called Norman. So at least you'll have your 30s to enjoy!

Let me know how it goes afterwards. I'd love to hear how you recover!
