I need an IV for hypocalcemia not ever needed one yet though thankfully needed to reduce my calcium back to low again made it go to 3.8 should be low no parathyroid told me to double my dose to 4 a day lucky have a blood test that day literally saved my life
Very interesting and clear explanation for those who know little about hyper parathyroid function. Is there any way where food intake can affect PTh. To regulate the calcium balance in the blood surely food,medication plays a role? Thank you for your reply
Excellent. Thank you so much. I just had 2 parathyroid glands removed and feel very good. More people need to see this.
@ruthgilmour - Do you supplement? How much? Thanks!
So if you have normal calcium level . And vit D is 43 . But intact pth is 83
