I am an otherwise healthy 42 year old mother of 4 young children who exercises daily and works full time. I thought my gradual decrease in energy and stamina over the past few years was due to being overworked. I have been plagued by almost constant kidney stones which is how my hyperparathyroidism was diagnosed. A week ago, I had my parathyroid adenoma removed. My PTH dropped from 130 to 40 during surgery and my postoperative calcium is normal. My energy, however, hasn't budged. I am worried that I was actually overworked and not related to the adenoma. How long did it take other people to feel more energetic?
