Sorry you've not had any replies yet.

My comment will bring your post back up the news feed, so hopefully others will see it and respond.

Do doctors monitor your PTH calcium & vitamin D, testing all at the same time. Usually the blood draw need to be at hospital or close to the facility processing sample.

I think doctors would need your calcium levels as well to accurately judge if you need increase calcium.

Not what you're looking for?
