Calcium, calcium...where for art thou calcium??

Hmm, well apparently my parathyroids aren't working on their own yet. I'm really REALLY hoping they eventually kick into gear because having to rely on calcium supplements in addition to the Synthroid is going to be a PIA the rest of my life. The fact you cannot take calcium within 4hrs of the Synthroid is what is so problematic.

I got completely tingly in my limbs the other night but remedied it with OTC supplements thankfully. I freaked out thinking I might end up back on the IV drip again...which still is a possibility if the OTC stuff ends up not working. It's depressing sometimes.

For now though, I'll just keep taking the 1800mg+ supplements and hope they work. I feel a little tingly still though and keep eating Tums but I think my levels are hovering around 8 or so based on how I feel. Still under normal but normal enough to keep me out of the hospital! LOL

Here is a pic of the scar tonight. Still tender but the redness looks better. It's becoming more raised. Almost 6 weeks post surgery...
