My most recent serum calcium was 10.3 also (just under the line of 10.4 at my lab). Did you Dr do periodic blood tests to monitor your calcium while you were on Tymlos? Did you have any side effects from the Tymlos? I am considering getting a 2nd opinion, hopefully from an endocrinologist closer to me.

@ripley I believe I was tested every 6 months. My doctor was not concerned about my calcium at all. It is always 10.2-10.3 even if I go a day or two without supplements or dairy. I did not have problems with calcium on Tymlos. Any rise in calcium does not last long, as mentioned above.

I do have low blood pressure, used a blood pressure cuff and hydrated, ate salty things (and avoided calcium) before the shot.

I had excellent gains and so far Tymlos has been the most tolerable med for me.
