Hello everyone
I am at my wits end and can’t stop crying . I have been suffering from neck and shoulder pain for almost 2 years together with a horrible blocked ear and on and off dizziness . I have a very enlarged gland in my neck on the same side and have on and off tummy problems and often feel very nauseous and unable to eat anything .
Recent blood tests arranged by my GP showed very high blood calcium and Parathyroid hormone and I have been referred to an Endocrinologist as a matter of urgency . Another 6 weeks down the line and I am told they have no appointments to offer me and I just have to wait .
I can’t help feeling that the neck problems and dizziness are the cause of the raised calcium and PTH in my blood and things are just getting worse every day .
I am so frightened that I have a form of cancer in my neck and it has spread causing the raised calcium and PTH in my blood .
I feel really poorly at the moment .
Hi and a welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to hear about the challenges you are having. Getting a clear diagnosis can at times be very challenging but I do hope that you get answers soon.
Did your GP actually refer you under the The Two-Week appointment system?....... if yes....... you need to get back to your GP and they should be following up on this for you.
It's good to talk so do call the Macmillan Support Line is open from 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00 where you can talk with someone about practical information, get emotional support or just connect with a listening ear.
We also have our Ask an Expert section but do allow a few working days for a reply.
Do get back to me if you need further help ((hugs))
