Hi
Was wondering if someone could help, I had a total thyroidectomy for Graves in August last year and ended up in hospital for 10 day with tetany. I left hospital and was able to wean myself off the calcium (on advice from my endo). I then suffered a further tetany attack several months later (after a rather nasty stomach bug). Since then I have been on and off the calcium (again on advice). A month ago I had a vitamin D injection as I was found to be low. My parathyroid levels have all come back as normal, and the surgeon remarked that he saw 4 intact during surgery.
My questions are - why is calcium deficiency still affecting me?
Can I expect this situation to improve? or should accept that I will be on calcium for life ?
