My hair has been falling out for the past few months...not in clumps, but in strings and the volume of my hair has decreased dramatically this year.
I went to the physician on Friday to have my thyroid checked, convinced that I had hypothyroidism.
Well, they called today and said I am hypercalcemic...and that has me concerned...mainly because I have to come in Monday for more blood work and there is a strong history of renal failure in my family.
What I found on Wikipedia didn't help much either.
I would love to be able to say that I over-indulge on supplements or drink tons of milk and eat lost of cheese ice cream, but I don't. In fact, my calcium intake is probably only about 1 serving a day.
