Calcium level went to urgent low after 1st Evenity Injection in Jan, doc is making me stop injections until level goes up?
Hi, been lurking after my bad dexa results. 60F, pretty fit, 130lb, hot yoga instructor. No fractures or anything but the -5.0 super freaked me out. I have some digestion issues which may have resulted in some malapsortion. After several months and many appointments including my new endocrinologist, i was approved for Evenity. I was excited. First injection in Jan, then got bloodwork and a very urgent after hours call from endocrinologist saying I might be to go to the ER due to critically dangerous low calcium result!!!! (I think around 5or6?) Anyway, I was confused, felt fine. No symptoms of anything so he said I didn't have to go to ER unless symptoms. So he put me on Calcitriol 2x day, .5, since Feb. My levels have only gone up to like 8.6 and he said he wants them at 10 before I go for another injection!! I already paid the $900 copay for the Feb injection, which has been sitting in the fridge. He says he's never seen this. Anyone else have this? How long will it take for the level to be ok!!!???
Edit: i also have hypothyroidism, on synthroid for years.
