I think you should consider contacting your endocrinologist to discuss getting your calcium levels back to an acceptable level. After my complete thyroid removal my calcium levels drop to 8.9 and then bounced back up to a 9.3 within 24 hours without any supplementation. I am on long term calcium supplementation because some studies point to a higher case of osteoporosis with the use of thyroid medication - it is controversial, but I'm 30 years young and think I'd rather take it and be wrong than not take it ... and be wrong.
