Blood work should show low calcium levels.

I was thinking parathyroid also and mentioned it on the hot chocolate reactive thread.

This is rare, and doctors may not have been trained about it.
For example our CMT poster Kitt on PN has mentioned that CMT is not rare even, but doctors only get about 5 or 10minutes on it in school!

People very low in Vit D also cannot absorb calcium from foods, and may have symptoms. Paresthesias may appear first.
The role of Vit D and the parathyroid is complex.

Here is a link: you may have to read it more than once:
