I guess that's a "yes" based on your story, Meri.  Meri, is your hypercalcemia symptomatic at all?  what prompted your doc to consider MEN in the first place?  I am currently being tested for Cushing's but I have a lot of symptoms that Cushing's wouldn't really account for, so my endo is confused.  I started thinking about MEN1 because I had a grandfather with parathyroid adenomas, and I have an uncle who had unexplained pancreatitis (a severe case, life-threatening...but he's okay now), and a great-aunt with pseudogout (calcium crystal buildup) due to hypercalcemia.  I am sure I am just grasping at straws out of desperation, though.  Anyway, I would be interested to know how the testing pans oput for both of you.  I bet it often goes undetected in family histories because the manifestations can be so varied.  Good luck.  View other groups in this category.
