At the moment, the doctor has me on 7,000 IU of vitamin D a day and is going through my insurance company to skip the bisphosphonates and go straight to prolia. My vitamin D level was too low to be measured, so that is why we are hitting that hard first. My blood calcium was high, but for now, we are assuming that was caused by the utter lack of vitamin D. We're re-doing the blood work June 1st.

Hi Mary
Have they checked your blood calcium again , was it still high ? If so , did they test your parathyroid hormone level ?
