@dorob Agreed. The challenge for me was to get either my endocrinologist or my GP to hear me. Seriously, I was mentioning leg cramps from the very first and by then end, I would rate them as an 8 on a 0-10 pain scale. But I didn't realize that until I was off the medication and so I never pushed it. I should have.

Docs are paying better attention now because once my serum calcium returned to normal, along with my mental capacities, which were also affected, I contacted both the docs to state the issue of having not been heard by them even in the previous week, when I was really going downhill. It would have been good for me to have an advocate because when my C was high I was not effectively advocating for myself.
