Have High Calcium Levels, Low Vitamin D. Hyperparathyroidism. Who Can Help Me?

I have high 10,8 calcium varies but always in the above normal for my age of 55 female and 69-70 PTH very low Vitiamin D. The doc thinks raising my Vitiaman D will stop this,all I have read says hyperparathyroidisim and taking high doses of D3 can hurt you? I am seeing an endocrinologist and want to trust,but every thing I read frm the library to the internet does not agree with her ideas.Is there and endo on staff to consult with?

You probably need to control the HyperParathyroidism(HP),it may need surgery to correct the primary hyperthyroidism which is commonest cause.Chronic kidney disease needs to be ruled out.Elevated primary HP will have elevated calcium and low D3 levels.You need a MRI scan of the thyroid gland to identify and adenoma/hyperplasia or malignancy of the parathyroid glands.
