I am new to this site and read your post, and I see that it was 22 weeks ago. My heart goes out to you and I wonder if by this time what your up-date is. Have you found any help? I am also a 50 year old female with the similar symptoms as you, except for the kidney stones (not yet) and no fractures in feet. However, the pain in my pelvis as if it may be a fracture is what brought me to the Dr. in the first place two months ago (first diagnosed as "tendonitis" then after an x-ray they say it is "osteitis symphsis") A few blood tests later proved high levels of calcium in my blood. The best information we have found has been provided by Dr. Norman on his website, but obviously everyone cannot be treated by him. It appears that the majority of the medical world has not been educated yet to his theory of treatment of hyperparathyroidism. So the question is; where to find a Dr. that is on the same page as Dr. Norman? Not being a Dr. myself, I take in information and have to use common sense. Dr. Norman's knowledge and expertise are easy to understand, it makes sense to me.
After reading all your symptoms, how could any Dr. tell you everything is fine? That doesn't sound "fine" to me. I hope by this time you have found some better help, I would like to hear from you.
sincerely, deedee
