Hi had a total thyroidoctomy on 4th july of this year..3 years previously had a parathyroidoctmy leaving me with 3 parathyroid. ..after thyroud op only 1 left now which hasn't kicked in yet therefore on Calcichew forte bet 3000 and 4000mg each day, not felt really well since op, told by my endro to keep my calcium levels low rather than high at present my Calcium level is 2.09 range is 2.20 to 2.60 mines never been in normal range, I've felt quite tired, bones ache, stomach problems nearly everyday, increased heart palpitations. .these have been present since I have began thyroxine and Calcichew forte. When I began Calcichew I misread and assumed was on Calcichew forte with D3 apparently im no its without D3 I stopped taking my vitamin D tablet when I began Calcichew thinking it contained vitamin D cant believe I was so silly. This is correct isn't it ? I wish u all well 😊 Carroll

Cause I have had thyroid problems so long I have had to learn to understand and know the importance of tsh ft3 and ft4 ..my ft3 would be ideally better placed in the middle of the range but it isnt and they have stopped ft3 on nhs now. .too expensive. I am just shocked I made such a mistake about my vit d ...I can let u know the results and ranges of my tsh and ft3 and ft4 and Pth if u would like me too? Have a nice day Carroll 😊
