Thanks for posting, Janet! If you don't mind sharing , were there symptoms or some other clue that alerted you to the possibility of hypercalcuiria?

Just wondering because my med results to date haven't been as good as hoped, compared to the ladies posting here and I'm trying to figure out why. My doc just encourages me to continue with 2nd year on Tymlos before investigating further - doesn't seem all that concerned yet. But I'd like to rule some stuff out myself.

My rheumatologist ordered a 24 hour urine test along with bloodwork at my first visit. All my life it seems like I’ve had a trace amount of blood in my urine. I saw a urologist years ago and discovered I have kidney stones. I have never passed any, they just seem to be happy staying put. I think the rheumatologist felt like my numbers were bad for my age and my lifestyle so she was looking for other causes and she definitely found one. I also had a lot of UTI’s as a child if that factors into the grand scheme of things. 🤷🏼‍♀️
