@beanieone I only started researching hypercalciuria after my second 24 hour calcium came in really high. I am astonished that no one thinks to test for this as it's such an easy test to do. Instead, we get lumped into the "oh, a peri-menopausal/menopausal woman so it's clearly declining estrogen" category and pushed to take Fosamax and supplement with calcium or Vit D. Or maybe they test our PTH and thyroid levels.

I hope correcting your hypercalciuria improves your bone health. I have a follow up appt next week to discuss mine.

Thanks oopsiedaisy! You may have read how one of my doctors replied to the "why" question: "What difference does it make WHY you have it, you do!" Now there's a guy who cares!!!

Hmmm, a. pee into a hat for 24 hours and maybe find a solution . . . or here, b. take this drug which, as we all know, can cause horrible adverse reactions in some users, but can help. Ummm, I choose a.

You are the second member who has replied to me about hypercalciuria. The other member said his doc hopes for improvement in pretty quick fashion, so fingers crossed for all of us. Perhaps the medical world is onto something? I hope so!

I have followup bloodwork next week to make sure my electrolytes are still in balance as Chlorthalindone tends to make the kidneys excrete potassium.

Thanks for your good wishes - I hope this can help you as well. If you can, let me know what your doc says.

Cheers!
