this happens to me everytime? I had my thyroid removed and the parathyroids went along for the ride, I take 4000mgs of calcium a day and 50k iud's of vitamin D twice a week and still have muscle spasms on a daily. I thank god for medical marijuana!
this happened to me! I felt week and took my blood pressure at a machine in a drug store. I flipped out and drove myself to the ER. It saved my life. The dr knew right away what I explained with my hand . I was treated with ivs. one thing...Trausseau's more bout calcium, but if it comes to pottasium oral is better!! I.V. Potassium burns like battery acid!!!!!!!!
thank you, im in med school, and had never seen this sign before, only heard of it, and forgotten after a while. thanks for posting, now that i've seen it, it'll stay there longer, hehe.

@Fadey420 , Are you taking calcitriol 0.025 daily? That should help.
Usual Adult Dose for Hypoparathyroidism
Initial dose: 0.25 mcg orally once a day in the morning.
Maintenance dose: May increase by 0.25 mcg/dose at 2 to 4 week intervals. Most patients respond to 0.25 to 2 mcg once a day.
