So generous of you to share your experience. I am very grateful. I am trying to figure out how to modify my calcium supplement intake once I start Tymlos since apparently calcium levels rise to concerning levels on the parathyroid drugs. Did you make any adjustments?

I didn't change my daily amount of calcium intake (1000mg per day from food) as i did not have abnormalities with calcium levels in blood or urine (or PTH) prior to drug therapy. My elevated blood calcium level after the start of forteo was expected according to my endo and it turned out to be transitory. From what I've read, depending on the magnitude of serum calcium increase, some endos will give out instructions for a remedy.
