Mine was primary hyperparathyroidism. My PTH kept climbing over the years, reaching close to 80. But I'm wondering now if I need to keep taking Tymlos and start a bisphosphanate -- or whether now that my hyperparathyroidism is corrected (now measuring in the 30s) I can just let my normal body take over.

Well, mine tested November 2024 was 113, before then June 84, February 103, October 2023 74, and May 2023 it was 90. I am wondering if I should see an endocrinologist as my primary does not seem to think it is an issue??? As you said yours was in the 80's and it was an issue for you.

I currently have osteopenia, and I refuse to take any of the bone pharmaceuticals as most all make your bones brittle. I believe Tymlos may be different as it is an anabolic so it is supposed to build bone. My gynecologist prescribed testosterone cream as it increases bone formation by increasing the formation of osteoblasts which are the bone builders. Perhaps you could inquire about that method.
