This is interesting to me. I have ndi - nephrogenic diabetes insipidus - which has caused hypercalcuria and high blood phosphate, low sodium, etc. I control it with 25 mg. of hydrochlorthiozide. Because of ndi, I can't take lithium, which causes ndi in many people. So Mitch, your hypercalcemia may have been a result of lithium.
Larry, how does any of this affect my meds? Currently I take 250 mg modafinil and 10 mg selegiline, along with the hydrochlorthiozide and HRT. I've often wondered if my brain fox came from a lack of vasopressin receptors in my hypothalamus, as well as my kidney. My ndi appears to be genetic, but it's labelled idiopathic for 'who knows?' I've had a lot of weird things go wrong, including postcapsular cataracts. I'm 47, and not diabetic.
Feel free to ignore this. But I've come to admire the scope of your knowledge of the brain's and body's chemistry.
