Sick today. Day 80.

Massive headaches and low level chest pains today. I have been experiencing symptoms of my hypo- parathyroidism for a few days now; but, it is much worse tonight. I was diagnosed with this in California in late 2012 where I was working as an insurance fraud investigator.

In any case, eventually surgery will be required to take out the aberrant parathyroid which is producing excess calcium and dumping it into my blood.

So in the meantime I am miserable. The symptoms mimic the flu to some extent.

I thought it was a cold until some other symptoms showed themselves leaving little doubt.

The area behind my eyes are red hot. I have been gulping down aspirin just to stay sane.

I am trying to sleep but haven't had any luck in that department for a few days now.

I would ask for your prayers.

Thanks and good night y' all.

  1. I wrote hypo when I meant hyper parathyroidism. Big difference between the two.

  5. BR: Hope you get to feeling better. Kristine and William were in St. Louis last week visiting the Cathedral, Holocaust Museum, etc. and thought of you. We will keep you in our prayers. The Bickhaus Family.

  6. Mike: I have never been to the Cathedral in St Louis. I will bet it was beautiful! The Holocaust Museum must have been sobering and inspiring st the same time. I think of you, Kristine and your wonderful six children all the time. Its kind of funny since I only met you one time and only for lunch. But I feel a unique bond. And I appreciate the fact our paths intersected back there in IL! I can hardly wait to see you all again on my way back east next year! Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
