Not enough vitamins?

[Kindle 8,667]

So the consensus is that my Calcium just runs a little high. We even checked out bloodwork I had done in 2008 and 2011 and my calcium has always been between 10.4 and 10.6. (High normal is 10.2). With no symptoms and no changes in over 6 years, apparently this is my "normal". My PCP says hyperparathyroid patients usually present with calcium levels of 13-14. So all is good.

Um do you have any nerve tics or problems? Calcium running that high, are they sure it is just the parathyroids without doing any other checks. I'm wondering how you are managing as I'm running upper nines and its a mess.

Nada, no symptoms.... No fatigue, weakness, tremors, ticks, bone pain, muscle pain, kidney stones, excess urination, cardiac, cognitive dysfunction, osteoporosis (I had a bone density scan prior to my cervical fusion a couple years ago), and normal BP. In fact, I've never felt better. Any aches and pains I had disappeared when I lost weight. PCP consulted with endocrinologist and with the lack of symptoms, duration and consistency of elevated Calcium they both feel it's just my normal.

My jaw is dropping. My bones are taking one crap of a beating. Man ... mine are middle 9's and they used be upper middle 8's. My urine Calcium went from 3's to 2's.

Low in calcium diet is 50-150.

That sucks. But just goes to show how individual and different we all are and that our bodies are way too complicated to fit in any medical textbook box of rules. (And why doctor's jobs are so hard)

[swimbikerun 1,038]

I think there is a lot that can be done in that area. In my case, it didn't that long for a simple google search of the medical information to find out something the doctor really should have put together given my background and his "I've been a doctor for 20 years" experience.

If you remove ego and $$$ out of the equation, health care can be very different.
