They told me i had rheumatoid arthritis now they say I have a hypo parathyroid?

Hi.

Ok For probably 2 years now dr's have been telling / treating me for Stills Disease - a form of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

I have all sort of symptoms with like muscle pain/ cramps, bone pain, spasms that can be like super extention of a limb - i cant describe them properly but its like eI'll be ok and all of a sudden one of my arms fly out so fast you can hardly follow its movement with your eye.

Anyway I'm in pain 24/ 7 and also chronic fatigue - due to the pain not fatigued making me hurt.

I also have hyper mobility where my joints over extend.

Anyway I got a 2nd opinion recently and he did all of these blood tests and said that there is no sign of arthritis whatsoever! He did find that i'm vitamin D defficient and Iron defficient and have an underactive para thyroid.

He said usually your calcium levels are meant to be low with the low parathyroid but mine are normal - but i'm on calcium tablets for a couple of years anyway.

Anyway we dont really know where to go from here now. We are going to see an endochrinologist but just dont know what else we can do in the meantime.

I'm in my senior year now at school so i really need to be healthy and that.

Does anyone know anything about an underactive parathyroid cause i keep finding stuff on over active ones but the ones on under active are all written in medical mumbo jumbo so i really dont understand it.

Has anyone had or been through anything similar? What happened to you?

Is there any foods or anything i should avoid or supplements i should take?

I dont really know what I'm trying to ask - but ANY information would really really be great.

Just anything you know that could lead me in the right direction.

Thanks


happy new year

peace

hypoparathyroidism. hmmm.
parathyroid gland releases a hormone called parathyroid hormone. this hormone stimulates bone breakdown. which means the inner part f your bone is broken down. and when the bone is broken down its calcium is circulated in the blood.
with hypo parathyroidism there is less parathyroid hormone. which means less bone breakdown and less blood calcium level. less calcium can lead to cramping and tetany.which means all signs of calcium deficiency you may encounter.
i dont know if there is a hormone replacement therapy for you. but calcium supplements will help a little. if there is a hormone for you then you will probably be injected with it.
