A: It appears you need to do some detoxification. Read the E.C. pages here https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/detoxification.html
A women's multiglandular supplement, specifically my favorite is Solaray's, will recover your glandular system.

Hi Anette...The parathyroid needs adequate amounts of magnesium, iodine and boron(from borax) to function properly. Iodine helps regulate bone formation via the calcitonin hormone which is produced by the thyroid. Boron is also needed to help bone removal. Bone removal and bone formation is a continual ongoing process in the body that must be in balance.
Here are Ted from Bangkok's recommendations for hyperparathyroid conditions:
"The saliva pH is something I would measure first. The pH should be 7 to 7.3. If it is not, it's likely that the parathyroid/thyroid is low in iodine. The low levels comes from eating white flour products and bread, which contains bromine and it kicks out iodine. The other pH is the urine pH, which should be pH 6.5 to 7, if it is below, this also indicates low bicarbonates and taking baking soda or sodium citrate will get to normal levels. The iodine I will take is lugol's solution 1-2 drops a day plus vitamin C 500-1500 mg a day, sodium ascorbate, not calcium ascorbate. The potassium citrate, or potassium bicarbonate I used is 1/4 teaspoon a day plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Magnesium chloride or magnesium citrate taken on an empty stomach should relieve most of the pain from the back area is my experience. It takes about 3 days to get the pain out, but the dose is around 250-500 mg. a day. The bone tiredness is one of the indicators I used to gauge magnesium deficiency. Boron may also help some of the tiredness, as well as vitamin C. The boron I used is borax, but is taken only 3 days at 1/8 teaspoon in a liter of drinking water taken over the course of the day.
As to the lack of sleep, lugol's solution and baking soda and potassium should relieve most of the problems. I would however avoid fluoridated toothpaste since it accumulates in the pineal gland, disturbing the circadium rhythm and caused sleeplessness. The acid brain issue, should be alkalized with plenty of baking soda and potassium, as well as 1-2 drops of lugols in a cup of warm water taken in early evening along with vitamin c.

I would perhaps also eliminate dairy and flour products from your diet. Both of these food products will tend to inhibit the absorption of iodine by the thyroid. I would also ensure that you follow Ted's alkalizing advice every day as well. You can buy pH test strips from any chemist such as Boots. Continue to take the chanca piedra and magnesium, which is also helpful for properly regulating and reducing excess calcium in the blood.
The fact that you are also losing weight and cannot put weight back on is an indication that your digestive system is in poor shape. This might well be related to your thyroid and, perhaps, a lack of B vitamins in your diet. And because you are also a vegan might also mean that you are seriouslly lacking Vitamin B12 in your diet -- which can also adversely affect your digestion. For this problem I would at least ensure that you take betaine HCL and pancreatin enzymes in adequate amounts with every meal. Also you should ensure that you take all the B Vitamins every day(including vitamin B12). For a full explanation of this problem -- see this link.
