[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 165935, member: 2727"] My daughter had her whole thyroid taken in Feb 2008. I am no expert by any means but I did learn that it is the Parathyroid that produces calcium. If the Parathyroid gland is not functioning properly then that very well could have something to do with vitamin D deficiancy. When my difficult child forgets to take her synthroid and calcium she will start feeling really tired as well as experience allot of cramping especially in her legs. Painfull cramping is a classic symptom when someone is lacking calcium. Geeze she had some major cramping going on the first evening following her surgery. Her back and her legs. Of course her body had to adjust to no longer having a thyroid as well as the major surgery that she had but it took a lil time for her calcium levels to stabilize. Her Parathyroid gland thank god was unscaved during surgery verses her thyroid was being taken over by a 9 CM mass. If you would like some links to some groups just PM me and I will gladly pass them on to you. [/QUOTE]
