> My GI doctor is basically throwing up his hands and saying he does not know what is going on. The endocrinologist doesn't seem to want to do any tests. (It's like they're dumb and waiting to see if the other is any smarter.) I have been unable to even find a conventional doctor who gave calcium shots, could maybe look at the alternative type docs, but ultimately I am unsure if calcium injs. is the way to go anyway. Actually my thoughts on getting the shots are that the doctors so far haven't made any inroads so I need to deal with the issue at hand. Would you have a suggestion as to which specialty I should be going to? THanks, GW

I can't see calcium injections as being anything more than a temporary symptomatic treatment. I fear something is seriously amiss. You could be in kidney failure. You could have a malignancy. These are things that come to me, trying to make sense of your situation. I'm not a doctor, but I can say this, it appears that the ones you have are not yet helping you address the underlying disease state.

I suggest you try to get in to see an internist, or better yet, perhaps, a nephrologist (kidney specialist). Or, simply another endocrinologist. It boggles my mind that you are not being tested, and tested thoroughly and repetitively, until the core disturbance is discovered. If hyperparathyroidism is secondary, the question is, secondary to what?
