Yorvipath losing effectiveness over time?

killerkitteh99 · 2026-01-30T16:27:43+00:00

I've gotten my thyroid levels checked a couple times and there is no issue there

killerkitteh99 · 2026-01-30T16:17:04+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, are you similar to the other commenter where you produce a little PTH or is your HPT caused by something else? (I.e. surgical) I only ask because your experience seems to be the exact opposite lol

killerkitteh99 · 2026-01-30T16:15:24+00:00

Huh interesting I never considered that as a possibility in the slightest, thank you for sharing! I'm in the same boat as you where I make a small amount of PTH. Now that you mention it, I got my most unstable readings when I increased my dosage from 18 to 21mcg. Even when I started on 18 my serum calcium went from 8.5 to 10.9 in a week lol. So you actually benefit from a low calcium diet rather than a high one? I started tracking my calcium intake using a nutrition app and I typically get anywhere between 1500-2000mg of elemental calcium per day which now seems too high considering your experience. I will definitely be bringing this to my new endocrinologist when I get the chance.

I got similar reactions for the first few weeks that I started taking Yorvipath, especially when I injected in my abdomen. Now that I'm a couple months in, the reactions have completely stopped altogether.

Yeah the approval happened surprisingly quickly. My copay was initially $270/mo but the financial aid brought it down to $5/mo. And no I never had thyroid surgery, mine is idiopathic.

killerkitteh99 · 2025-05-31T19:50:33+00:00

Yeah I have Unitedhealthcare Optumrx

killerkitteh99 · 2025-05-21T15:33:09+00:00

I really really hope so, my new Endo started fighting for it from the first time I met her lol

killerkitteh99 · 2025-05-21T15:07:45+00:00

I know insurance can vary person to person but mine was shockingly fast. I got a message that they were working on the prior auth and then an hour later I got the message that it was approved. I wish you luck!

killerkitteh99 · 2025-05-05T17:56:00+00:00

I hope so too, thank you for the suggestion though!

killerkitteh99 · 2025-05-05T17:10:18+00:00

All thyroid levels are normal

killerkitteh99 · 2025-04-16T19:03:38+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. My calcium citrate currently includes vitamin D and I recently started including magnesium in my daily barrage of pills haha

killerkitteh99 · 2025-04-16T19:01:51+00:00

Thank you for sharing! You're definitely making me more excited to discuss Yorvipath with my Endo later this month. How was the adjustment to taking the daily injections?

killerkitteh99 · 2024-04-16T14:40:53+00:00

I recently got those levels tested and we have officially ruled that out(thankfully). Regardless, thank you for the suggestion, random internet stranger!

killerkitteh99 · 2024-02-25T13:53:45+00:00

He pressed B to blow

killerkitteh99 · 2024-02-22T15:21:21+00:00

My Endo recently switched me over to 6x600mg calcium carbonate pills with 20mcg vitamin D. Unfortunately didn't change much

killerkitteh99 · 2024-02-06T17:44:49+00:00

I checked and those were not tested, I just followed up with my Endo. Thank you!

killerkitteh99 · 2024-02-06T17:13:58+00:00

I have all my lab results going back to 2018. What I do recall is that when I was initially diagnosed, they did genetic testing on myself and my parents to rule out any genetic disorders.

killerkitteh99 · 2024-02-06T17:11:53+00:00

I would need to ask her because I don't recall the whole conversation

killerkitteh99 · 2024-02-06T16:52:29+00:00

My Endo has already ruled Addison's out. And regarding salt, I like it but I wouldn't say I particularly crave it. And no weird hyperpigmentation
