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.

Yes!! Is your PCP a GP or an Internist? An internist is better suited to older adults. During Covid Internist appts were scarce. They have begun opening up for new patients.

You need to see an endocrinologist as soon as possible. Hyperparathyroidism does it's damage slowly and silently and will continue to leach calcium from your bones until the condition is treated with a simple surgery. Hyperparathyroidism is also a major risk factor impaired cognitive function and dementia.
