Wow, so it sounds like even once you're diagnosed via lab tests, you still have to fight to get it "fixed". That really sucks. parathyroid.com says that if you have the high Calcium and PTH, you "have it, and need an operation". I dunno how reliable that site is though.

I've read that even getting a positive lab diagnosis can be tricky, as Calcium & PTH levels fluctuate fairly rapidly, and you sometimes have to get the test repeated many times over a period of weeks.

Good luck in finding a good facility. If it turns out that this is what I have, maybe we'll end up comparing notes on that sort of thing.
