I'm feeling a bit confused and worried about my thyroid levels. I had a TSH level of 23, but my free T3 and T4 were normal. So, I decided to try the B56 homeopathy drops. At around the fourth month, my TSH improved to 8.4, but after finishing eight months, it's back up to 23. I'm just wondering why it would increase again and if maybe I should consider a different treatment?

My mom is 57 and has high calcium at 11.1 with PTH levels at 153. The doctor said it's her parathyroid glands and recommended surgery. Is surgery urgent or can we wait and monitor for a while? Are there any medications that could help bring her levels back to normal instead? She's been on BP meds for 3 years but her pressure is mostly under control.
It's important to discuss your mother's specific situation with her doctor to determine the best course of action. While surgery is the recommended treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism, it's not always an urgent situation, and there are other options to consider
