Evenity Advice?

My bone health specialist has recommended I start Evenity as I have osteoporosis & have had a spontaneous spine fracture.
I had bariatric surgery 18 years ago & suffer from malabsorption & despite taking 1,800 mg of liquid calcium citrate concurrently with 15,000 IU of liquid Vitamin D3 (split into 4 doses per day) & we can’t get my calcium levels up in the normal range. Evenity warnings specifically state not to administer to patients with low calcium levels so we keep trying by increasing calcium citrate & D3. I do not want to start Evenity until levels are normal. Has anyone else experienced this problem or can offer any advice? Thanks!

Wow that is a high dose of Vitamin D3 @manco! What is your current D3 level?

Maybe you could do Tymlos or Forteo since they raise calcium levels! At least for a few hours. Not sure what level is needed for those to work. What does your doctor say?
