Hi @daisylou
I started Tymlos in Jan 2024. My calcium levels for the previous 5 yrs was always in the mid 9s. After 2 months I was rechecked and it was up to 10.6, which was considered "ok". Then about 9 months in I went to a new endo for a second opinion and the blood test showed calcium was 11.1. However, that endo said that you also have to adjust the calcium number using blood albumin levels. There is a formula online that I looked up and you put in both calcium and albumin numbers and it calculates an adjusted calcium level. Using that calculator my adjusted calcium level was 10.2, which the endo said was still in the acceptable range. Now....to me it still seems that my calcium level is still higher than normal based on the fact that before starting Tymlos it was never close to the 10.0 range. Not really loving anything at all about this osteoporosis business. LOL

You may want to consider checking out the albumin/calcium calculator and ask your provider about it. You may find the adjusted calcium level not quite so high as the calcium alone. Also, it is extremely important to stay hydrated, drink plenty of water while on these drugs. Anything and everything to help kidneys process this stuff!
Cheers!
