@oopsiedaisy I just read your post. We have a few similarities.0nd being our underlying condition,I found out that I have idiopathic hypercalciuria which means I excrete a lot of calcium in my urine. this is exactly what I was told I have. My rheumatologist put me on 25 mg of hydrochloroiziade to help redirect the calcium to my bones. I just had my first recast infusion on 2/12. Are you taking the same medication for idiopathic hypercalciuria??my rheumatologist had said that by fonding this out and correcting it that it will help a lot... have you been told that also???curious to hear your views on this.. thank you!!

@jimmy05 I see my endocrinologist on the 26th to discuss treatment. I suspect she’ll start me on a thiazide. In the meantime, I’ve been reading about it and lifestyle changes I can make including drinking more water, reducing sodium and animal protein in my diet. I’ve cut back on the whey protein supplements I was taking. I’ve been into the “more protein is good for building muscle” camp for years and have learned that too much animal protein can make hypercalciuria worse.
This could explain a lot for me with regards to my osteoporosis. I’m hoping this might help. In doing a site search here I did see a person who said that the treatment didn’t help with his IH so I will remain cautiously optimistic and keep expectations moderate.
Have you had any issues with the hydrochlorothiazide?
