Calcium Pro Отзывы пользователей

Thank you for creating this tool. It has been very helpful in evaluating my condition. However, one inconvenience I encountered was that the tool does not store the data I input. As a result, I had to input my data repeatedly, which was quite time-consuming. It would be great if you could add a feature to save users’ inputs.

I tried to load the Calcium-Pro app to add my information and try to pinpoint if I have PHPT or not as my labs come back, and am not able to add my lab values in, due to not being able to change the unit of measure selection to the correct units of measure. It seems that it is one line off… the selector changes the unit of measure for the next line of data entered below it for some reason (in app on iPhone). Hope they can get this fixed so I can update the review, and add stars/update review after the app is working correctly. Thank you

Your calcium numbers are “kinda high”. Nothing alarming. Maybe just under some range set by the lab but still high. But go back a few years and compare. Are they always in the 10’s? Time to get a parathyroid hormone test added to your bloodwork. Show this app to your family doctor. Show it to Your friends and family. You don’t have to live in pain for years.

Entered all my data from the past 10 years and says I have very low risk of kidney stones and hbp. I have lots of stones. Including one 3cm one and have moderately hbp.

Super easy to use and understand!

The description of the app sounds great, but it doesn’t seem to work on the iPad. After entering my test results, I can only click on one analysis tab, then the app locks up and I have to force quit. When I reopen it, I have to enter my test results again. I did this several times to see various graphs, but re-entering the test results every time is not a good user experience. Don’t suppose I can get my $0.99 back for a non-functioning app?

App analysis doesn’t work and is wrong. Don’t waste your $1 or your time.

This app would not allow me to add the - or + to my values. It also determined I was at a low risk for hyperparathyroid disease, rhythm problems, kidney stones, etc. I have been monitored for almost a year for this disease. I also have a heart rhythm problem and have had a kidney stone. As far as the DEXA scan, I lost 10% of my bone density since the past scan two years ago. I may not have the disease, but my doctor isn’t convinced. Sorry I wasted my time and money.

I downloaded it onto iOs 15.3 and entered the data necessary for an analysis. The "My Analysis" button is disabled. The only way to request technical support is to post a message on Facebook, or to write for help via an http:// (INSECURE) page. Oh sure. The insurance companies and identity thieves would LOVE to scrape such data. I called the phone number for the Norman Parathyroid Center & got no help; the suggestion was to delete the app, re-download it, & re-enter my data. I did. Same result.

This app saved me from years of horrible pain and symptoms and future emergencies. Negative reviews are either from a period of time when they had a few bugs, or from people who have decided to believe what their doctors say over what this app says. That’s their prerogative, but it doesn’t mean this app is worthless or a marketing tool to get business. That’s just not true. The medical community is playing catch-up and do not have paralleled data or experience equal to the amount that this clinic has. That’s just the truth, so of course this clinic is going to want you to either come to them or educate your own doctors with the data that they have. Just ask your doctors like I did. They admit they don’t and can’t show me any data to support their approach to this disease. Some with egos larger than their ethics will go so far to scare you away from this clinic. I spent 9 months letting doctors hem and haw over what might have caused such severe osteoporosis at my age. I had T-scores that were common only to people 30+ years older than me. Young 50-year olds should not have such significant bone loss in the critical range. I was scared to bump into a wall and break my hip or spine! I broke my rib this year simply laying on my stomach. Because of inappropriate blood test reporting and reading, my doctors ruled out hyperparathyroidism in the blink of an eye that first month and almost started to dose me with osteoporosis drugs. They wouldn’t let me share symptoms that they didn’t think had anything to do with osteoporosis, but they did have a lot to do with my endocrine system! Nobody was taking my condition as serious as they should have been or seeing that someone with such low T-scores deserves every possible stone turned over to be absolutely sure of the cause. And I needed aggressive treatment to rebuild my bones, not the kind given to someone with osteopenia. I pushed the matter and new doctors did more testing. But again, there were mistakes reading the sestamibi scan and the doctors trusted what the radiology report said, that nothing was there. Again I was scheduled for drug treatment to rebuild bones, but with a more aggressive drug. But that scared me too. How could they be so sure it wasn’t my parathyroid? Why were they basing it off of a scan that is wrong 50% of the time and my lower end “high calcium” results not being high enough? My PTH was continuously high all year, between 75 and 115, and the highest a 50-yr old should have is 65. But improper lab reports only show normal ranges for a 20-yr old and that placed my result at the high end of the normal green zone or just to the right of it. It caused all doctors I had seen to not think it was my parathyroid and allowed my condition to degrade further. That made me start to search for more information about this disease and I found the NPC website and downloaded this app. I was lucky enough to have years of blood tests to enter into this app, and a full 8 months of multiple calcium and PTH testing results. The result slung the red needle way over into the extremely likely range for having hyperparathyroidism and a tumor. Just out of curiosity, we entered data for my husband, and his needle stayed firmly in the highly unlikely range as it should have. I also have had 16 of the listed symptoms continuously for the past 5-6 years - all having no conclusive diagnosis or any idea what was causing them, but also a tortuous calcium kidney stone that required surgery to remove, broken rib, severe osteoporosis, and losing 3/4 of the hair on my head (something the endocrinologist said had nothing to do with my osteoporosis even though it is common in hyperparathyroidism which causes osteo.) But I had most of the atypical symptoms too. So I pushed with my doctor again, and got an ultrasound of my thyroid, that saw a tumor. If they had not agreed to give me that scan, if I had not researched on my own, if I had just trusted my doctors, they never would have considered parathyroid again and would have given me a drug that would have done nothing except expose me to potential negative side effects. But the radiologist report said, “unlikely to be of parathyroid origin…”. How on earth does he know? He is not an endocrine surgeon and has no experience treating this condition. But finding anything was enough to refer me to an endocrine surgeon finally. Talking with a surgeon, I found the previous primary sestamibi scan of my parathyroid that came back negative was wrong! They could see the tumor plain as day and it was obvious it was my parathyroid. They simply said the radiologist made a mistake. Ya? It cost me months of my life while my bones continued to degrade. But they would only remove what the scan showed and would not test the other parathyroid glands, even though my osteo is so severe and there is a 20-30% chance that there is a second one that does not show on the scan, so of course I chose to go to NPC. This app was the only thing keeping me grounded and not feeling like a difficult to treat hypochondriac, which I often felt like over the past 9 months. It didn’t assume I couldn’t understand medical jargon or testing results. It educated me better than ANY of my doctors, one of which reminded me that I wasn’t a trained surgeon so couldn’t possibly understand their opinions. Seriously? I have a computer science degree, shall I say they couldn’t possibly understand any explanation I give to them about how computers work? That’s insulting their obvious intelligence! Bottom line, I have lower high calcium with high PTH and severe osteoporosis, and it’s because I have a parathyroid tumor that has been growing for several years. It is coming out this week and only because of the education and drive that this app gave to me. I can’t guarantee ALL my horrible symptoms will disappear, but those caused by my tumor will, and that treats my quality of life. Something my doctors forgot was supposed to be their mission.

This is an app your doctor uses. Not user friendly

My tendency is to “wait and see” when I have a medical problem. But Calcium Pro has shown me that I need to attend to this problem. Easy to use, too.

Being able to enter my lab values into the app and receive objective data regarding evaluation for potential hyperparathyroidism is so clarifying. The data/risks and graphs are formulated from years of data gathered from tens of thousands of patients. Very helpful and also a good tool for all medical providers .

I have had normal calcium with high PTH and have osteoporosis. I was told by a professor at a medical school that he recommends that his patients with numbers like mine AND osteoporosis should be considered normocalcemic Hyperparathyroid, and that a surgical consult would be warranted.

Good when it worked than after four years of meticulously entering all data it crashed and All DATA WAS LOST. CONTACTED THEM SEVERAL TIMES BY EMAI,AND NEVER ONE RESPONSE. SO, to me that’s a indicator and not a good one of any future contact with the providers of this app. I don’t care about the fee but to ignore the fact that four years of data in a medical monitoring device was lost because their app crashed is an inexcusable action by people in the “healing “ profession. They leave you in the lurch and don’t care about how hard you worked to follow their program.

As a physician, I have found this app invaluable. With this app, I have picked up parathyroid tumors that many other physicians have missed.

I have an excellent doctor, but this app really filled in every question I had, giving me assurances I needed, helping me interpret test results, telling me what to expect post op, and not expect. I live in CA, SoCal where excellent care exists, than God, but if you don’t, it’s clear this group is cutting edge. Invaluable app if you’re suspected of, being diagnosed, or have had the disease. Literally most useful app for a specific purpose I’ve used since owning my first iPhone ten years ago. Thanks for developing!!!!

I had 3 different doctors telling me that nothing was wrong with my blood work levels. Using this app, I was able to use that same blood work to correctly diagnose myself for a serious yet completely treatable disease. I received the simple outpatient surgery that I desperately needed and my blood work and health is back on track!

When I found this app and used it my lie changed. My doctors had it wrong and were giving me the opposite advice that they should have. Having this app allowed me to move forward with confidence that I was doing the right thing despite what my doctors were telling me.

Easy to navigate and a great way to keep track of your medical info test results over time. Very informative.

This app is such an amazing tool for pHPT!!!

After years of suffering from various symptoms and numerous specialists appointments ( gastro, gynaecology, thoracic, TMJ, ER doctor’s) I finally had a calcium level in the blood that was elevated. I was told it was only slightly elevated so a PTH level was done; it came back in the normal range so Hyperparathyroid disease was dismissed. This was from a world class Hospital in Washington DC. I researched high calcium and fell in the NPC website where I discovered this App. After reading the symptoms, many of which I had a lightbulb went off.........I went back to the After Care Clinic at the hospital 4 days later and asked them to repeat the tests , again Calcium was elevated and PTH in normal range. Again the diagnosis was dismissed. I continued to educate myself at parathyroid.com and found this App. At 2am one sleepless night I downloaded it and put my information in and BAM it came back with a result of “highly likely” that I had Hyperparathyroid disease. I did no more but contact NPC ( makers of this App) and scheduled a consult with one of their surgeons who confirmed that He had “no problem diagnosing me with Hyperparathyroid disease”. I immediately booked my surgery and 3 weeks later a tumor was removed by the surgeons at NPC. After years of suffering, the internet and this App have saved my life...... I have nothing but great things to say about NPC. Be your own health advocate! Share this App with your friends and family, it’s only a blood test to diagnosis!

I found the entire Calcium Pro APP helpful. I have had this disease for over 19 years. I had so much data after 19+ years that I could not make any conclusions. When I found this APP I entered the data which then made the graphs. I used Calcium Pro graphs, read about the parathyroid, watched videos and more. I also found the educational resources and the easy to read graphs helpful, as I explained to my in state doctors and friends, the reasons why, I self referred, to get the parathyroid surgery to remove a tumor! It took about 4-6 weeks total to send my data to the Norman Parathyroid Center in Tampa Florida, obtain a surgery date and the to take the 19+ tumor out. After the surgery I ate ice cream and wanted steak. Two months later I sent my new blood work to the Norman Parathyroid Center which now indicates Normal PTH and Calcium levels. No more: headaches, total body pain, high blood pressure, and so much more. Dr. Parrick and everyone else were AWESOMEly GREAT and the experience was exactly as described! I am now entering post surgery data to compare the results. This application created a vehicle to organize and assess my data to indicate a parathyroid problem, vitamin D issues, and many other parathyroid complications. Please note: From the moment I purchased and entered my data into Calcium Pro-to the surgery date- was about eight weeks. The final review of Calcium Pro data analysis: Use of Calcium Pro and an 8 week solution versus 19+ years of nothing but sickness, pain and more with no doctors or hospital diagnosis!!! Note: I got all of my data by requesting medical records from my doctors and hospitals record offices.

I spent half an hour entering data. It appeared as though the data was saved, But then the app would stop and I found out nothing been saved except my demographic information. How frustrating. Not worth the $2.99 I paid

Had a lot of difficulty with this app. It would not save the data and would cut out while I was trying to input. This happened almost every time I used it. It also gave me a different analysis outcome on two separate occasions even though the data was the same. I would not recommend this app especially since you must pay to use it.

I have tried several times to enter data and it either crashes or simply will not save the data I enter. I knew it would be silly to buy this. I know I have hyperparathyroidism. But I’m frustrated with my ‘wait and monitor’ endocrinologist so I wanted this empty validation.

I have entered a large amount of data multiple times and then the app closes without saving my data. I cannot find a way to contact the developer.

Looks like this would be a great app if it would only hold data. Everytime I add data and go to add the next data the app closes and has lost all data when I reopen.

This app crashes a lot, and every time it’s crashes you need to add all information again.

This app crashes while trying to enter data. Everything that was entered is lost. I have written to the developer but no response. A waste of money

Crashed every time I tried to input data

Not useful or worth spending money on if the app repeatedly crashes after trying to input data. Up to date iOS 11.2.6. Grrrr

I think this app is a great idea, but it doesn’t work. I’m a developer myself, so this isn’t an issue with lack of IT experience. Every time I try to enter my data, the app closes/crashes. I reopen the app and only some of my data is saved. I’m unable to get the app to show me my results because it keeps crashing. I’ve tried 7 times now. It’s very frustrating. I’m using an iPhone 7 with an up to date IOS. Can you please fix this? I will absolutely update my review (if you remind me) after this is fixed. Thank you.

I would rate this app five stars however every time I enter my data for my DEXA scan it keeps shutting off. If there is a glitch in the system, would you please give an update?

After years of misdiagnosis by my doctor, I downloaded this app, entered my lab data and sure enough I was correctly diagnosed with hyperparathyroidsm. I am happy to say that just yesterday, Dr Norman and his team removed one tumorous parathyroid gland from me and I am cured !!! Don't waste time and money on endless tests, get the app so you can know for sure and be cured yourself. The app is also very informative, containing many links to further educate you as well.

If you have the slightest belief you possibly have a parathyroid tumor/ hyperparathyroidism EMPOWER YOURSELF with this app!! You will have EXACTLY what you need to start gathering/demanding the blood work tests you need to get an accurate diagnosis without flying to Tampa with a one on one consultation. If I had waited any longer (like my local Oklahoma Endocrinologist wanted to do) I would have lost my voice due to the fact the tumor/adenoma was wrapped completely around my vocal cord growing for so long!!

I am disappointed that this app doesn't include risk factors. I took lithium for more than a decade, but there is nowhere to enter that info. There is also nowhere to enter other test results like (otherwise unexplained) hematuria which can be caused by hyperparathyroidism. There should be more guidance as to whom should purchase this app.

I was released today around 5:40 after having 2 of my 4 parathyroids removed. It is now 11:47pm and I'm laying straight up in bed inputting my most current data into this app. I cannot wait to obtain the rest of my numbers to be able to put them in as well to track my progress. Words cannot describe how incredible this app and the staff is at Tampa General and the Norman Parathyroid Center, including the physicians, Dr. Parrack & Norman, masters of their specialty. A full YouTube review will come soon! Rated as I promised Dr. Norman😉 Thank you, Sweet Home Alabama girls!

This simple tool was SO accurate in detecting my parathyroid tumor! It was easy to put in my blood calcium levels, PTH, and vitamin D level. and then the app told me I was in the "very likely" range of having a parathyroid tumor. You can also add bone density scan info. This information helped me make the decision to self refer myself. I just had my surgery today at the Norman Parathyroid center in Tampa, and a huge tumor was removed. Without this, I probably would have listened to my endocrinologist and really messed myself up by taking huge quantities of Vitamin D. If you are concerned about your calcium or PTH levels, get this app ASAP!

I purchased the app and indeed it is a snap to enter data and use, but I found that the Blog tab will not open and causes a 404 error. It contains an error message that my app has connected to the Word Press site but cannot login. Please fix this error. I am running version 1.4.1 on a 9.7 iPad Pro. I live in Thailand and this may be the cause of the error. Thanks.

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!

The part of the app that demonstrates calcium versus vitamin d versus pth keeps telling me that I haven't input any data. This is obviously false. Please fix it if you're going to charge people money for this app.

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.

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.

Easy to use and helpful in determining diagnosis.

Great information and easy to navigate!

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 mother's 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!!!

Please believe what the app tells you and take action based on that, not what your doctor says.

After my husbands blood work revealed an elevated calcium level, his physician decided to play the "wait and see" game. When his calcium level dipped to the high normal range, his doctor said that he was fine. After we found this app, we entered all of the blood test results, and discovered that my husband was indeed a candidate for parathyroid surgery. His doctor was still skeptical but went along with this. We chose the Norman Parathryoid Center at Tampa General. His tumor was removed by extremely competent surgeons and we have high hopes for a complete recovery.
