Not trusting my endo
I didn't know what forum to ask this question...but...Is it possible to have a PTH test when there is vitamin D deficiency?
Here is a website explaining PTH and how it relates to calcium, vit. d, etc.

Here is a blurb from one section regarding Vit. D.:
2. What does vitamin D have to do with PTH?
If you do not have enough vitamin D, your body will not be able to absorb calcium properly. Vitamin D regulates the intestinal absorption of calcium, while PTH regulates the activation of vitamin D. Too much and too little vitamin D can imbalance calcium metabolism.
