@stress101 hey, friend. I'm so glad to hear from you.
I'm delighted that your endocrinologist is learning from you.
Windyshores enabled her physicians to help her other patients with her method. Although, she confessed, she tried titration before telling them about it.
Radius Health did have an early trial of 20, 40 and 80 mcg to determine which level resulted in the most bone. 40mcg was successful, but 80mcg added more bone.
Just pay attention to how you feel. With the kidney stone, I'm suspecting hypercalcemia. Are you still on 1200 (supplemental?) calcium) You might consider lowering your calcium and/or the D3. You might add magnesium citrate; both magnesium and citrate reduce the incidence of stone. Magnesium binds with calcium in the bladder and prevents the calcium from crystalizing. I'm sure you already know that you have to take them two hours apart.
I keep reading that we are all a little low on magnesium, but there isn't a good way to measure it. I've added magnesium orotate which doesn't affect digestion, but does help keep calcium out of the vascular system.
Did you celebrate your 83rd?

@gently Yes I did and another one approaching. I had to stop Tymlos three times due to my ongoing back pain and other procedures but back on it again starting slowly. I’m not aware at all about the supplements you mentioned. And thought the calcium we take was independent of vascular system. I had not heard of the other study on Tymlos. Who were they and do you know when or why they chose to do a trial? Was good to hear from you and how you’re helping others in Windy Shores shoes. Thank you so much.
