This app is a wonderful tool! I gained so much knowledge from its content that I could personally diagnose people having hyperparathyroidism!!! The knowledge gained allowed me to push my mothers bottom feeding doctors (or goats and monkeys) into several corners, where they had no choice but to listen. If you or someone you know is suffering from the symptoms of hyperparathyroidism, plug all the data you have into the app and present it to the doctors and then get scheduled for Dr. Norman and his team to save your life!!!
Great information and easy to navigate!
Although you can learn everything you need to know (and then some) regarding hyperparathyroidism on Dr. Normans parathyroid.com website, and you can ultimately diagnose and refer yourself given that information, its not until you put YOUR values into this app that you truly understand YOUR situation. It is reaffirming and motivating. Maybe it wont convince your obstinate PMDs medical opinion, but it will eliminate your and your familys doubts and skepticism, and it will save you time, money, and continued suffering. Not to mention, its very interesting to see how your case compares to thousands of others. Would certainly recommend!
Easy to use and helpful in determining diagnosis.
I stumbled on this app while researching causes of high calcium levels. I love this app. It is so easy to use. This app made me smarter than my primary care Dr. This app allowed me to talk intelligently with my dr. about what test were needed and those not. My Dr. actually wanted to have me tested for bone cancer. Of course the pet/ct scan came back negative, as the app told me it would. With this app I was able to get my primary care Dr. back on track. I have never felt more in control of a medical problem. This app will help me to monitor the progression of my cure into the future. I felt so knowledgeable after showing up for surgery.
After I input several years of my blood work results, Calcium Pro turned them into meaningful and easily understood conclusions and information about my condition. The Calcium Pro graphics and conclusions helped me verify my longstanding opinion that my health problems were caused by high levels of calcium. For more than three years my calcium readings had been higher than 10, but just above the "acceptable range." My vitamin D was at the low end of the acceptable range, but would not improve. Based on my research, I felt I had hyperparathyroidism but my local doctors disagreed. Instead, they felt that my readings were just barely out of the normal range and could not be the cause of my symptoms. I deferred to the doctors until mid 2016. By then my health had further deteriorated. After a battery of tests my medical professionals had no answers and no solutions. When I restarted my research into high calcium and low vitamin D, I found the Calcium Pro app on Parathyoid.com. The app confirmed and substantiated that my high calcium readings and resultant symptoms were caused by hyperparathyroidism, which could be cured only by surgery. I immediately contacted Norman Parathyroid Center in Tampa, Florida and arranged for parathyroid surgery in early August 2016. We flew 3,000 miles to have Doctors Norman and Boone perform this complex, but quick, surgery. Within 3 ½ hours, my surgery was complete, I was through recovery and I was released. Immediately after surgery, the severe pain in my feet and legs was gone. It will take several weeks for my body to properly function with the normal calcium levels. Thank you Norman Parathyroid Center for your expertise, your care, your professionalism and, last not least, your amazing web site at Parathyoid.com. Thank you Calcium Pro for helping document and solidify my self-diagnosis.
This is a world class life saving app made by world class life saving medical team! This app allowed me to diagnose myself and ultimately know more about this disease than my primary care doctor or the first surgeon I sought to cure my disease. I just completed my surgery with Dr. Norman and his team in Tampa, and I wholeheartedly urge any patient, anywhere, to find a way to get to Tampa and be cured! The app is simple to use, and highly accurate and clear cut. Get this app, and do yourself a favor and get to Tampa. You will never regret it. Take control of your life and your well being.
If you have your labs, this app works great. It is a computer program comparing your labs to thousands of known parathyroid patients. It cant be wrong of you use it correctly so people who say it doesnt work are obviously not entering their information correctly. Take your time and enter your lab test results and you will learn a lot. It can help you make important decisions about your health.
This app is awesome. It is accurate, comprehensive and easy to navigate. Without this app I would have been stumbling through life with high calcium and feeling terrible for years to come. (most doctors seem to be ignorant or apathetic about high calcium and primary hyperthyroidism). This app puts control of your health back into your own hands. I have been extremely impressed with the app, the website and then ultimately the very successful surgery I had from the team in Tampa. So impressed, I self funded my surgery and trip from New Zealand (where I live with free public health care). Totally the right choice if you care about your health.
The part of the app that demonstrates calcium versus vitamin d versus pth keeps telling me that I havent input any data. This is obviously false. Please fix it if youre going to charge people money for this app.
Thank you, Dr. Norman, for creating such an amazing tool for patients to use. This app allowed me to easily enter a few lab values and provided me with some very detailed (and concerning) information which I would not have had access to otherwise! The results I obtained prompted me to take immediate action in becoming a patient and scheduling my surgery at the Norman Parathyroid Center. I highly recommend this app to anyone looking to maintain a proactive role in their own health care!
Didnt do anything for me. I paid to install the app and once I was post-op I deleted it because the app doesnt tell me anything I dont already know; and now that I still have hyperparathyroidism and want to download the app, I have to re-purchase it? No thanks. Useless; ripoff.
This app has had an amazing amount of thought and work put into it. There are just a few things that would help it be an awesome app. It would be beneficial to be able to sync between devices. There needs to be more data entries available for numbers of surgeries. In some cases, it was hard to input data because the keyboard covered the answers, the text would not scroll up to see what I was typing. And It would also be nice to be able to share by email, not just Facebook and be able to print out a report to show family and doctors. Otherwise, its a wonderfully useful app for people suffering from this disease.
This is an incredible app with so many wonderful features and amazing analysis capabilities! In an effort to help you perfect it, I wanted to point out that the "PTH analysis" verbage says that the graph is showing the calcium/PTH levels instead of just the PTH levels. I hope Ive understood your wonderful educational website well enough to be accurate in my observation :-) Thank you!
As a doctor, I find this app to be truly amazing in its scope and depth as regards to helping one figure out if they should seek help for a possible parathyroid problem. It also has cool graphing features and an extensive learning library. Well done!!
This is like having a Doctor in you Iphone. If only we could get the Doctors to use this App, there would be far few people suffering with Parathyroid diease.
I purchased this app as I had been diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism and wanted to have a place to input all of my numbers and get more info. Well, needless to say the app is BOGUS! I input all of my numbers/test results and it said I was unlikely to have to disease. Well guess what, I have a nice huge tumor on my right side. Save the money and dont even bother with this app. FRAUD AND JOKE!!!
Take it from someone who has struggled with her thyroid at a young age, this app could save your life! Tracks all of your data, provides informative videos, & even allows you to connect with other Parathyroid patients! Bravo, 5 stars Calcium Pro!
