@osteopatient2026 early on I was taking calcium a few hours before the injection, thinking the pth drug would then need to draw less from my bones. It never gave me nausea. But I never figured out if it kept any calcium in my bone. I haven't ferreted if a person can help determine whether the hormone pulls calcium from the kidneys, the bones or the intestine.
What makes sense to you? Do you suppose that no matter the amount of calcium in the bloodstream a certain amount of injected pth1-34 is going to draw the same amount of hormone, as your wise caution suggests.
I abandoned calcium two hours, and now take magnesium two hours before to help determine that drawn calcium goes back into my bones in measured amounts.

I’ll try that. Sounds plausible

Great question and insight as always…I don’t know my husband understands the chemistry better. He thinks there is a lot of “guess work” going on around all this. The solutions and answers are only as good as the people and now AI can muster.
They (3 of my doctors) can’t even get the proper bone description of the big toe I broke. One X-ray says distal phalanges (which it actually was) another report said proximal and the 3rd said no fracture at all! I wouldn’t want to go for surgery on that toe and have the surgeon create an incision in the wrong area and find out “oh no..wrong spot or no break at all.
These doctors would have flunked out of medical school.
WilWheten, what would be your guess?

I believe it’s mostly via kidneys.
