@crbarefoot In addition to my high blood calcium levels, I also have high parathyroid hormone levels which indicate that one of my parathyroid glands is overactive. Several CT scans found a tumor (benign adenoma) on one of my glands as the cause, but I'm not a candidate for surgery for several reasons I won't get into, so my dr is monitoring me for now.
