Hi, Aracee,

I looked for articles regarding acupuncture and hyperparathyroidism, but as I am sure you have found, there's not a lot of information about it.

The information on hyperparathyroidism I did find mention that "watchful waiting" is OK depending on the severity of your symptoms. For instance:

What are your calcium levels?

Do you have any kidney damage?

How is your bone density?

Here, for example, is the Mayo Clinic's analysis of these indicators:

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hyperparathyroidism/DS00396/DSECTION=treatments-and-drugs

Surgery IS a common treatment; the Mayo says it fixes 90 percent of cases, which is why it's probably an easy thing for your doctor to recommend. But that page also mentions medications that can be used (though perhaps you are too sensitive to those as well).

Have you spoken with your acupuncturist about this? Did he or she have any thoughts or advice?
