The more VitD in your body the more calcium your body makes and, seeing as your VitD is low, this could well explain why your calcium is also low. When the calcium in your blood is low, like yours, there is a danger that your body will take it from the bones.

When both calcium and VitD are low then your GP should be checking your parathyroid as this is what regulates calcium levels in the body.

Have a look at this link that will explain all.

Did you go to your GP with fatigue? and do you have any other symptoms?

Sorry meant to say you should look under the HYPOparathyroidism section in the link.

Hi Moggie, Thanks for the info,if you look at my last question( to long to repeat here) i have had Hashi's for 13 years ,Endo and GP had put it down to my excessive weight but saw GP last week and after realising i have lost 8lbs since he last weighed me he now put's it down to the menopause.

[Moggie]

That doesn't sound right to me - I thought you were meant to put on weight during the menopause. Something isn't adding up - have you been dieting as it takes a lot to lose half a stone when you are hypo, shame is isn't that difficult to put it on.lol.

What is he going to do about your low calcium and low VitD levels? I would be asking her an awful lot of question regarding low calcium and low VitD and parathyroid. I would also be chasing her for the iron and adrenal tests.

Sorry just re-read results and your adrenal results are there under cortisol.

Levo was upped 25mg in October from 125 to 150,i think that would have some bearing on my weight,Started excercising again(was doing 3 x1 mile walks per day last year and have damaged my Achilles tendon) by doing 400 cranks on exercise bike and have now torn ligaments in ankle,i have to go upstairs on my hands and knees when i am exercising and every joint is sore.Low Calcium has never been mentioned by either GP or Endo and was told to change my diet to get my Vit D..

How am i supposed to know my iron levels without a range.
