I've recently had some help from the great people on here regarding my thyroid problems, which I am super thankful for but I think I need more.

Lack of Information
I just recently found out I am in Stage 3b. I am a 71 year old female. If I hadn't pointed out my unusual lab results to my family doctor, I might still not know. I had been told for years that they were "going to keep an eye on it." Yet no one did. I had to request to see a specialist. Now that

Low adjusted calcium level
Is there any link between thyroid issues and a low adjusted calcium level? Vitamin D is higher in the range around 100 (I take 3,000IU per day) plus was on a multivitamin as well. It has never been a problem previously but two blood tests in the last year (since starting levothyroxine) have shown a low

Serum parathyroid hormone
Finally, after a year of the labs refusing to test Vit D, I finally had it tested, and as suspected, it was below the bottom of the scale - 23. So back on tablets and spray, and hopefully my leg muscles will start working again... The lab refusing to test has made me ill...grumble, grumble. Anyway
