When Glenda Moreno learned her parathyroid hormone levels were two to three times higher than normal, her doctors feared nodules might be the cause. An ultrasound ruled that out, and soon after, she met Endocrinologist Dr. Sirisha Thambuluru.
Glenda had previously undergone gastric bypass surgery and was once insulin-dependent due to diabetes, so Dr. Thambuluru ran some tests and discovered the underlying issue: vitamin deficiency caused by poor absorption related to her bypass.
She prescribed Glenda with liquid calcium, which helped return her levels to normal in six weeks. Glenda was also experiencing symptoms of fatigue, aches and aching pains due to issues with her bone density, so Dr. Thambuluru started her on Fosamax until Glenda’s symptoms improved and her energy returned.
Today, Glenda is grateful for Dr. Thambuluru’s exceptional care and describes her as someone who “listens, investigates, and involves patients in every step of their treatment.” She encourages others to take symptoms seriously and get evaluated so they can avoid the “what ifs” and protect their health.
