My Neph put me on Cholecalciferol (vitamin 3D) everyday. One capsule a day. My PTH came down significantly. My parathyroid levels were over 300, now around 200 and coming down.

.25 MCG daily. My Neph said if I didn't want to take a prescription, I should take 2000 IU a day. I took the prescription, small tablets and easy to remember.

Dr Norman removed the one gland that had a tumor. That was in 2008.

Now I have Secondary hyperparathyroid disease. My calcium levels are going DOWN along with my vitamin D level. This is messing with my kidneys.
