Lightbulb D3

you will want to use D3.

NatureMade and other good companies are now making D3 in 1000IU doses
over the counter. There are a few online places offering it in higher doses.

NOW has a version that is dissolved in oil. NatureMade is a dry tablet.
I just switched to NOW this week.(I suspect the oil version is better absorbed).
Fortunately it is not yet expensive.
This is the one I am using currently (2 perday)

CountryLife has a new one:

2500IU

I don't know what to tell you about the parathyroids. They may get better with the D3. Many people develop a secondary hyperparathyroid issue, so it is good you don't have that.

This site explains more, but be aware it is confusing at first.

The fact that your parathyroid is low, is probably a "good thing".
The gist is that you should have a serum calcium drawn after your D3 levels normalize just to be sure.
