Ijust had my 6-month bloodwork. My PTH rose to 77. Normal range

cuts off at 72. I am concerned. I have increased my calcium to 1800

mg/day. The tabs have vitamin D in them as well as the vitamin D

from 2 ADEKs/day. I will look for some magnesium supplements as soon

as I get over this head cold and can go out rooting around the drug

store shelves.

Any suggestions or observations?

Thanks,

Steve
