I feel awful. Newly diagnosed. Now it’s all making sense why I feel how I do but also makes me sad I’ve gone a few years feeling like this. I need some hopeful stories please. I have a three year old and I’m constantly exhausted but I thought was just having a toddler and getting older. My anxiety and sleep are awful. Constantly thirsty and peeing. Overwhelmed easily. Body hurts. Does this get better after surgery? Waiting on my consult with a surgeon, need some hope

Has anyone had success with a doctor in the Seattle area?

For a long time now my daughter is 2.5 and during pregnancy I was just exhausted. But I had no idea what postpartum and working full time going back at 8 weeks would feel like. Turns out these are my test results. I’m a little angry I have been telling my doctor I have had high blood pressures, exhaustion that no amount of sleep seems to help, extreme anxiety and irritation, brain fog, no concentration I can’t even read a book anymore and used to love to. All over body anxiety where I clench every muscle in my body for no reason. Plantar fasciitis. Muscle inflammation real bad. These were my labs so I’m seeing and endo and hope I get surgery
Recent lab results:

Total calcium: 10.8 mg/dL — high
Ionized calcium: 6.1 mg/dL — high
Reference range: 4.5–5.6 mg/dL
Intact PTH: 86
25-hydroxy vitamin D: 16.1 — low
Kidney function: Normal

Previous calcium: 11.0 mg/dL

I’m currently being evaluated for possible primary hyperparathyroidism vs. other causes of elevated calcium/PTH.

The surgery seems so successful I’m a little mad that this could have been treated before. I haven’t felt like me in a long time. But figured it was being a first time new mom with my own business and overwhelmed overworking because my husband was laid off. The anxiety and irritation has harmed my marriage and I don’t have energy to play with my toddler like I want to. Guess I’m looking for some hope and success stories especially if you relate to the postpartum confusion aspect
