I thought it was very high, too. Last Vit D-Hydroxy on 8/5/24 was 35 ng/mL (normal range), but calcium was 7.8 mg/dL on 8/5/24 (low). Last calcium on 10/4/24 was a bit higher at 8.1 mg/dL, so calcium level does seem to be improving. I had been taking 1,500 mg of liquid calcium citrate when it was 7.8, now with the increased 1,800 mg of calcium it’s up to 8.1 (getting closer).
Doctors recommend Evenity for me. I have an upcoming appointment & will ask them again about Tymlos & Forteo.
Thanks for your feedback & reply, I appreciate it!

@mancos one other thing to think about: I read that Tymlos "eats D3" and I kept mine stable at 50 or so by upping my intake to 3,000 units/day. When I stopped Tymlos my level started to rise so I backed down to 1,000-2,000 units depending on the season. I don't wear sun screen!

I cannot believe you take 15,000 units and your level is 35. Do you take a liquid, or gummy, or pill?
