That low vitamin D may be the dead giveaway to the RAI possibly damaging your parathyroids. However, there are many people out here who have low vitamin D without having that kind of damage at all. What is your calcium level like at this time?

Re: iodine deficiency

Thanks for this info. As you see, I have so much work to do. I will bring all of this up on my next visits. I wish I had spoken up about this in January, I was having a lot of pain from my waist down to the bottom of my feet and had test that showed low vitamin D and now I am taking 50,000 IU's once a week of the vitamin. Now I am wondering about what else I am deficient in.
