HypoPara Unscripted

In this second episode of HypoPara Unscripted, Patty talks with expert Dr. Rubin about all things hypopara. From the “SHINE” study (a research history examination of participating hypopara patients), to the real-life challenges patients live with every day, Dr. Rubin explains the effects hypopara has on bone health, brain fog, fatigue, and cognitive function. Join Patty and Dr. Rubin as she encourages self advocacy, explains how patients sometimes just don't "feel right” even though lab results look “normal” and she shares the quality of life potential with PTH based therapies. Dr. Rubin’s insight and compassion blended with Patty’s profound patient perspective offers hope, validation and a deeper understanding of what it truly means to live with hypoparathyroidism.
