Good news, Ewizabeth!

"It is never normal to have high calcium levels in your blood.

Over 98% of ALL people who have a blood test that shows too much calcium will have a parathyroid problem.

... it is (also) possible for a person to take too much vitamin D so that they absorb too much calcium from their diet and hold on to too much calcium in their kidneys... and their calcium goes high."
