Re: Confused about test results

elevated calcium levels could indicate problems with the parathyroid gland (which regulates calcium in the blood, if levels are high, you experience strange symptoms), i had surgery three years ago to have growth's removed from mine (had very high calcium levels). symptoms are very similar to MS type symptoms. I am now being tested for MS/Lyme, but originally the docs and myself thought the growths had returned b/c of my symptoms. high calcium made me lethargic, fatigued, lightheaded/dizzy, and extremely sore/achy. sound familiar? hope this helps
