Patients Make Progress Possible | Hypopara Series: Part 3

In part 2 of our conversation with Patty Keating, we dive deep into how hypoparathyroidism can affect the whole patient. Patty shares vulnerable moments that highlight symptoms such as brain fog, emphasizing how truly debilitating and isolating it can feel. The conversation also discusses treatment options, specifically how the HypoPARAthyroidism Association has helped to bring an FDA-approved option to market. Patty continues to be a voice for patients with hypoparathyroidism everywhere through her podcast, HypoPARA Unscripted.
