Guai and phosphates

I believe I might have hyperparathyroidism, and wonder if the phosphate excretion that it causes caused my blood calcium to appear normal.

I only take it for asthma....but have had good reaction to it in that case.....does that count...I believe it is like any other medication...there are those of us who can tolerate it...and those who can NOT...and we with fibro have "strange" systems....things that put most people to sleep WIRE me...and I can sleep all day long on four cups of coffee......

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
