Interestingly, the parathyroid glands don’t have anything to do with the thyroid other than its location. The parathyroid gland regulates calcium and when it’s not working right, it wreaks havoc with your bones and kidneys and arteries. It’s all fascinating. Anatomy and physiology have always been intriguing to me. ?

Being a kid I just wanted normal again and never questioned a thing! Living my life on levothyroxin has been easy enough. Back then it was a week in hospice and a few weeks recovering at home, weight adjustment, dose adjustment etc. I feel that I should really study the subject now, having always just accepted my condition being urgent and only solvable by removing a very important organ! Now I have lots of questions!
