WoW, I too have hypoparathyroidism. I lost 2 out of 4 para thyroids in OP.
I find this meds very expensive too, and I hadn't thought that I could supplement it before, as Dr's make such a fuss to get prescription. I also have to take Calcium and Vit d as well so I will ask my Dr and find out if you can find a cheaper alternative, that is going to supply such strong doses. Thanks for thought.
