#parathyroid removal

[the-writer1988]

I've had three major operations in my life. And a few minor ones.

I never really go into personal things here on tumblr but I'm making an exception.

1) abdominal surgery to fit a peritoneal dialysis tube when I was 17 in 2005 so I could do dialysis at hone when i was diagnosed with end stage renal failure.

2) Kidney transplant in 2006, donated by my brother to me. At the same time, they also removed the dialysis tube.

3) Removal of parathyroid glands in my neck, which if it had gone wrong, I could have lost my voice. Thankfully, it didn't!

Please help Sami and his family

Hello. By now, we all have a good idea how hard it is to obtain basic and medical needs in Gaza, both due to the prices and to the availability. @mohammedalkhliliy1 and his family have been trying to raise funds since August. So far, they have only raised 6% of their goal (€1,805 out of €30,000).

Verification: GazaVetters #21, by Ahmed (90-ghost)

The Alkhaliliy family are originally from north Gaza, consisting of Sami, his wife, their three children (Jud, Lin, and Misk), his four siblings (Hamza, Bilal, Muhammad, and Layan), and his mother, who has chronic thyroid and parathyroid disease.

They have since been displaced to the south and living in a tent. Sami's mother also needs surgery, but cannot access adequate care due to the shortage of medical resources. More details are in this post and in the GFM page.

Please support Sami and his family.

Persephone’s thyroid tumor removal went well!! And doc actually was able to save her parathyroid, which is very exciting. He didn’t think he’d end up able to, which is why he had initially recommended a specialist. Because he was able to save her parathyroid we should be able to remove her other thyroid tumor eventually.

My pth and calcium are both on the high normal side.

That's

Not good.

Bad, even.

For those who haven't been following me long, PTH and calcium should always be opposite. If they're not, there's basically only one thing that causes that and its tumors called adenomas on the parathyroid glands. Like the 2 I got removed in 2021.

That could mean that my parathyroid surgery didn't remove all the adenomas or that more tumors have since grown. Which could require a second surgery. Which would be far more complicated, expensive, and possibly dangerous than the first and many surgeons straight up won't perform it. Not to mention I don't have the money for it.

I'm not going to catastrophize until I've talked to my surgeon about it. But it would explain why my symptom improvements platued then started to drift backwards.

Deeply worrying.

[planetsallalign]

They called with Maeve’a blood test results. Her calcium was higher this time. So she is going back to the vet on the 23rd for an in-depth blood panel. To check her parathyroid and see if that is the cause, if it is she will probably need surgery to remove it. If not it means starting cancer testing with xrays, an ultrasound and possibly a bone marrow biopsy.

So you know I’m currently bawling my eyes out even thinking of any of that.

God, making posts like this is not easy. But here goes nothing.

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to read this. Very recently, I was dealt two medical setbacks within the same week. Posting this is extremely difficult and violates every single safe feeling in my body when it comes to asking for help, but I’ve also reached an impasse where I don’t have any other choice but to reach out to my community and be vulnerable.

I am attempting to raise approximately $4,400 to address the following medical needs

1. Time sensitive dental care

To resolve advanced, time sensitive tooth decay, including fillings and crowns.

I am currently utilizing CareCredit to cover the upfront out-of-pocket costs of dental care.

I am resolving these issues to be eligible for surgery ASAP, per the advisement of my care team (see details below)

Estimated cost of this care is approx $2,200 post-deductible; I have paid for approx $1,500 of the treatments at this time via CareCredit (receipts posted below)

2. Parathyroidectomy (surgery)

I was recently diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). First-line treatment for PHPT is surgical intervention (parathyroidectomy).

Estimated cost of this surgery is approx $2,200 post-deductible. These are based on estimates via UHC for the in-network team I’ve selected.

With PHPT, I experience chronic pain of the joints, muscles, and bones, as well as additional side effects such as extreme fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, constipation, and nausea.

For those familiar with PHPT, I have PTH levels of 185pg/mL (normal 10-65pg/mL), calcium levels of 11mg/dL (normal 8.5-10.5 mg/dL), and a left adenoma roughly the size of a bean, per my 4DCT scans (for context, a normal parathyroid gland is no bigger than a grain of rice). I have likely had this adenoma for over 5 years and desperately need to remove it to vastly improve my life and tackle chronic pain and fatigue, for which I've been having weekly physical therapy to help mitigate.

I have likely had this adenoma for over 5 years and desperately need to remove it to vastly improve my life. Receiving first-line treatment is extremely necessary in ensuring I do not develop osteoporosis and/or kidney disease further down the line.

Unfortunately, I have increasing credit card debt, making the payments to CareCredit extremely challenging to manage due to the high interest rates I currently have on other cards. I have accrued these charges due to a combination of life hardships, prior medical debt (previous dental work), and the overall high cost of living.

My ultimate goal vis-a-vis this GoFundMe is to pay off my CareCredit card to fulfill these medical needs, then through NFCC (National Foundation for Credit Counseling) work with a counselor to (1) close my credit cards and (2) lower my interest rates. I cannot close my credit cards and begin to properly manage my debt until I have fulfilled the medical needs I have.

For additional context about me, as of right now I have a full-time job in operations. I am also neurodivergent (AuDHD) and have always struggled with financial literacy. In full transparency, I have made financial mistakes along the way that I cannot undo, mistakes which are all catching up to me at this point in time.

I find due to these mistakes and due to life hardships I have no control over, it is getting harder for me to keep up with the day-to-day costs of living, including buying essential groceries, paying rent, and paying my utilities. If I can tackle this medical debt, I truly believe I will get ahead of my other debt.

Thank you for reading this far. As I said, anything you can spare, even $5, is greatly appreciated and will extend a long way. Sharing this across your networks is also greatly appreciated and will help more than words can say. Thank you so so so much.

Bad News

I've been very low energy this past month, and have been experiencing extreme fatigue and a sore throat. Covid tests came up negative, so I decided to get my Doctor to run some blood tests.

A week goes by and she tells me my calcium levels were extremely high, and had me come back for more testing.

I got a call yesterday and she told me the bad news.

I likely have either parathyroid disease, or thyroid cancer according to her...and I'll likely need surgery to have the glands and/or tumors removed. She referred me to an endocrinologist, and now I'm just waiting to hear back from them.

Needless to say I'm not going to be up writing much for a while. Sorry to those who were following any stories I had going/ planned to write. I'll keep y'all posted.

Who Is The Best Commercial RO Plant Manufacturer In Faridabad?

Located near the major River of Yamuna, Faridabad City serves as Haryana's main center for both learning establishments as well as manufacturing several products. The city's economy & population have grown as a result of coal mining, thermal power stations, fertilizer, chemical, & cement manufacturers. But as Faridabad's economy has grown, so too has the demand for its water supplies from homes & various industrial sectors.

Without treatment, the accessible surface & groundwater is unsafe to drink due to contamination from nitrates, iron, salinity, hardness, fluoride, & other contaminants. This has made the installation of reverse osmosis-based water filtration systems necessary in several business organizations in Faridabad.

Water problems can be resolved by the installation of large units of commercial RO plant manufacturer in Faridabad, which are made possible by the provision of such plants by water treatment firms like Netsol Water.

Faridabad's urgent demands for the Installation of Commercial RO Plants 

Faridabad requires commercial RO plant since the city mostly relies on groundwater to supply its industrial & municipal water demands. There is a significant deficit in Faridabad's water supply i.e., 184 MLD compared to a total demand of about 485 MLD. The unchecked extraction of groundwater from borewells has caused Faridabad's water table to drop.

Research & Development has indicated that the groundwater reserves around Faridabad include geological genics pollutants, such as iron, nitrates, fluorides, & total dissolved solids, well over allowable levels. There are a lot of germs & turbidity in the water of the yamuna River.

Conditions such as thyroid as well as parathyroid problems, renal kidney failure, & fluorosis (osteoporosis in females) are prevalent in places where untreated polluted groundwater is provided. Commercial business infrastructures in Faridabad, like as hotels, hospitals, shopping centers, & offices, are implementing advanced RO-based water filtration plants to provide access to clean drinking water.

Function & credibility offered at Netsol Water:

Netsol Water is a top producer of wastewater & water treatment plants. The firm offers a variety of modular commercial RO Plants that are tailored to Faridabad's specific business requirements & water-quality concerns. These Commercial ROs include:

Easy-to-use commercial RO plants in containers for easy installation

Space-constrained locations: compact skid-mounted RO plant systems

Multi-stage RO Pants have systems equipped with micron cartridges, sand filters, etc.

Commercial RO plants that are fully automated along with automated remote monitoring systems

Commercial RO Plants combined with UF(UltraFIltration), UV(Ultraviolet), & other elements for increased purity

Modernizing current operational RO facilities to increase productivity & efficiency in a range of commercial settings & industries.

Commercial Reverse Osmosis plants from Netsol Water are put through rigorous testing & analysis to ensure that they consistently remove microbes, heavy metals, TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), & hardness by specifications. To guarantee long-term, trouble-free operation, the Netsol Water firm also provides extensive after-sales services encompassing O&M, membrane replacements, treatment plant upgrades, yearly maintenance contracts, etc.

Conclusion:

To address its water pollution issue & fulfill the increasing need for clean, safe drinking water, this city must increase the deployment of revolutionary as well as trending commercial RO Plant Manufacturer in Faridabad designing various water treatment equipment & its components.

Companies that specialize in customized commercial RO plants, such as Netsol Water, assist commercial facilities in effectively treating subpar raw water & turning it into drinkable water that complies with WHO standards.

Optimizing results may be achieved by routine maintenance & modernizing RO technology as per standards. More thorough coverage of commercial RO plants will be essential to enhancing Faridabad's water security & averting health risks from tainted water as the city continues its path of economic & urban expansion.

Advanced Endocrine Surgery in Madurai: A Gateway to Precision and Health

Endocrine surgery has become a crucial specialty in modern healthcare, tackling a range of hormonal disorders that arise from glandular issues. As health technologies advance, the capabilities of endocrine surgery have transformed, offering patients minimally invasive solutions and more precise treatment methods. For residents of Madurai, Preethi Hospitals stands as a leading center for advanced endocrine surgery, providing expert care tailored to complex hormonal conditions. This blog explores the impact and benefits of advanced endocrine surgery and why it’s vital for effective treatment.

Understanding Endocrine Surgery and Its Purpose

The endocrine system regulates critical bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, and mood, through hormones secreted by various glands. Endocrine surgery primarily focuses on removing or treating abnormalities within these glands, such as the thyroid, adrenal glands, parathyroid glands, and pancreas. Advanced endocrine surgery employs cutting-edge techniques to address these glandular issues, offering greater precision, shorter recovery periods, and less post-operative discomfort for patients.

Common Conditions Treated Through Advanced Endocrine Surgery

Advanced endocrine surgery can treat several conditions, including:

Thyroid DisordersDisorders like thyroid nodules, hyperthyroidism, and thyroid cancer often require surgical intervention when other treatments prove ineffective. Advanced techniques allow surgeons to perform thyroidectomies with minimal incisions, promoting faster recovery and reduced scarring.

Adrenal TumorsThe adrenal glands play a significant role in managing stress, metabolism, and immune response. Abnormalities like adrenal tumors can disrupt these processes, sometimes necessitating surgical removal. Advanced endocrine surgery offers laparoscopic methods for adrenalectomy, allowing for minimally invasive tumor removal.

Parathyroid DiseaseHyperparathyroidism, caused by overactive parathyroid glands, can lead to conditions such as osteoporosis and kidney stones. Minimally invasive parathyroid surgery helps patients find relief from these symptoms with minimal discomfort.

Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs)Pancreatic NETs can affect hormone levels and digestion. Advanced endocrine surgery enables surgeons to precisely target these tumors, preserving surrounding pancreatic tissue and ensuring a higher quality of life post-surgery.

How Advanced Techniques Elevate Surgical Success

Preethi Hospitals, Madurai, employs a range of advanced techniques to improve the safety, efficacy, and comfort of endocrine surgery. Some noteworthy methods include:

Minimally Invasive and Robotic-Assisted SurgeryMinimally invasive approaches, including robotic-assisted surgery, allow for enhanced precision with smaller incisions. This approach not only reduces scarring and pain but also shortens hospital stays, enabling a faster return to daily activities.

Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM)During surgeries involving the thyroid and parathyroid glands, preserving nerve integrity is critical. Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) helps monitor nerve activity during the operation, safeguarding against nerve damage and improving overall outcomes.

Targeted Imaging TechniquesAdvanced imaging techniques, such as ultrasound and CT scans, help locate abnormalities accurately before surgery. These images act as a map, allowing surgeons to precisely target problem areas without affecting surrounding tissues.

Rapid Intraoperative Pathology (Frozen Section)During endocrine surgeries, especially for tumors, rapid intraoperative pathology (also known as a frozen section) allows for real-time assessment of tissue samples. This immediate feedback helps confirm the extent of tumor removal, minimizing the chance of repeat surgery.

Enhanced Surgical Precision: With robotic assistance and advanced imaging, the precision of gland and tumor removal is significantly improved, reducing risks and recurrence rates.

Lower Risk of Complications: Advanced tools such as intraoperative neuromonitoring help minimize the risk of complications, particularly in surgeries involving delicate areas like the neck and abdomen.

wow Persephone, you get TWO thyroid tumors? save some for the rest of us,,,,,,

(I hope her tumors are manageable/treatable! good luck to you and the little lady)

She is SO special. Also I am going to use your ask as an info dump. As always, I have no actual formal education. So this is what I know from my job / from talking to doc. So don’t take my word as law for any of this bc I may have gotten some things mixed up.

Surgery is an option actually, but only for one tumor. When he takes out the thyroid tumor he also ends up removing the parathyroid. She needs to keep at least one of those, which is why he can only remove one tumor. I also could probably find a specialist who could remove both tumors and leave both parathyroids intact

The tumors are usually begin, but we’d send it out just to make sure it really is. And before we do surgery we’ll want to do bloodwork as well as take chest radiographs and make sure she would A) survive surgery, and B) not be putting her through a surgery when she’s only got a month or two left to live.

Zoology Practical Spotters

T.S of Thyroid

Comprises of a framework of connective tissue, enclosing numerous rounded thyroid follicles or vesicles of different sizes.

Thyroid is richly supplies with blood vessels and nerves. It is innervated from the sympathetic nerves.

Thyroid secretes thyroxin, which contains an amino acid and 65% iodine.

Thyroxin controls the entire metabolism.

Deficiency of thyroxin causes lowered metabolism.

Hyperthyroxin results in the protrusion of eyeballs.

Removal of thyroid from frog stops metamorphosis.

Thyroid gland is controlled by THS - Thyroid Stimulating Hormone from pituitary.

---------------------------------------------------------

Each parathyroid is enclosed within a capsule.

Each parathyroid is a glandular organ consisting of columns of epithelial cells.

Parathyroid produces a hormone called parathormone, which is devoid of iodine.

Removal of parathyroid causes tetany or death.
