I can't really add too much to the discussion yet since I haven't had the next round of tests done. It may sound weird but I am hoping it is a parathroid tumor that can be removed and relieve my whole host of symptoms that fit with hyperparathyroidism.
Ironically enough, I went in to the doc to have tests for endocrine/metabolic disorders related to thyroid and diabetes because these both run in my family. I realize the parathyroid is another thing (than thyroid) but they are related in that they are all endocrine issues.
It will be another week before I get back in with my doc to discuss the next round of tests.
About it being a lab error, I do realize this is possible, but I am completely unmedicated and had been fasting for 16 hours (I didn't realize the time I was supposed to be at the lab was actually my dr appt time). Just an added note, since it was already so late in the day, and having fasted that long, it may actually have shown out less than it actually was upon waking. <What I have read is that your blood calcium levels are highest upon waking>.
