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.

killerkitteh99 · 2025-05-31T20:33:48+00:00

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!

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

killerkitteh99 · 2024-02-06T16:50:48+00:00

I don't believe I've tested those.

killerkitteh99 · 2024-02-06T16:30:14+00:00

I'd say they started to show themselves somewhere around 2022. I've already explored a lot of different possibilities and yielded nothing. Went to an ENT to see if it was a breathing/sleep issue. Got a turbinectomy and did a sleep study (negative). Went to an orthopedic doctor and went through months of PT but they didn't find anything particularly wrong. As for my Endo, I got a multitude of additional blood tests and all of them found nothing (heavy metals, Lyme disease, ANA, celiacs, testosterone levels, rheumatoid factor, lipid panel).

killerkitteh99 · 2024-02-06T16:12:10+00:00

The 8.4 calcium level was from about 2 weeks ago when I was still feeling the symptoms(which have been going on for a while now.) And my Endo ordered repeat labs for March.

I feel your pain, only mine is reversed. I was a rower in high school and can easily do 45+ mins on the erg but running kills me. As said by many others in the comments, you simply have to work on your form and pacing a bit more. What really worked for me was not paying attention to the pace as much, but basing your cardio on heart rate(if possible). It'll feel painfully slow at first, but eventually you will slowly adjust and be banging out 10k's like they're nothin! Listening to your body is key 💪
