you will have to stop all vitamins and vitamin D for 3 weeks at least before these tests otherwise it will give high Vitamin D with normal range or high Calcium giving the fall impression that everything is right.
NOTE:PTH has very short life, the test may need be done three times if the peak is not caught on the first blood.
this is a red flag. you have above normal calcium despite low vit D. With low vitamin D you should have low calcium. This is not good calcium. It is coming from your bones. I bet you are having bone pain,muscle pain, tooth decay and maybe a metallic taste in your mouth.
how long have been you off of Fin and any vitamin supplements?
Please see the following link. It shows a graph and underneath there is calcium calculator too. you can put your age in the box to see the upper limit of calcium
Have a slight metallic taste in mouth(but can’t say that this is the for sure reason), can’t say any bone pain other than just normal aches, do have a general weakness feeling after propecia. I do get aches much more frequently though compared to post fin, also my right knee hurts a lot when sitting down
And Xptriado,
I have not had parathyroid test done, do you guys just mean t3,t4,tsh?
I have got my blood results.
My vitD despite 5000-6000 daily is barely in the range
My calcium and Magnesuim on the high end. Definitely there is something wrong with our calcium.
My dr did not pay attention to why with low vitD my calcium is in high end.
I am thinking for more tests maybe urine calcium and magnesium
My parea thyroid hormone is normal right in the mid range, nothing wrong.
I have got blood test reading of another guy. he has blood calcium above normal but PTH normal. So there is someother mechanism which is knocking calcium out without PTH.
Got my test results today: 16,40 ng/mL (range 30 - 100)
Stopped with fin 2 years ago, used for 4 months.
So I really have PFS then? I was hoping it was just a psychological or another minor, more easily treatable cause. Now I’m miserable, I am just 22 years old, can’t believe a shitty med that I took for 4 months ruined my life.
