Did they test your vit d3 too?

Mine are monitored for being too high... Despite not taking supplements.

They should have checked your kidney function too. GP should have asked you whether you have any muscle twitching or spasms.

Try upping your calcium intake by choosing high calcium foods. Hopefully that will solve the problem better than taking supplements. If not, then there could be an absorption problem.
