Albumin
New paper below [1]. About 18 years ago, a man who headed a PCa group in CA told me to forget PCa-related markers - the best indicator that a man wouldn't be around in 6 months was albumin. My albumin had been 3.9 at diagnosis. I worked to reduce sub-clinical inflammation via polyphenols (inhibitors

Currently undiagnosed but feeling awful, sore muscles, fatigue, hoarse voice, dry hair and skin, eyebrow loss on the outer third, constipation etc. My TSH was tested in September for some GI issues which turned out to be lactose related and it was 2.9 (ref 0.5-5.5) These are my results from last week

Prostrate Cancer treatment ADT
HiI am being treated for PC. After diagnose I was put on ADT treatment. This stops testosterone production. Had a bone scan and found I have osteopenia. I am taking a calcium citrate with vitamin D. Also once per week Alendronate 70mg. Has anyone else been in the same boat? Thanks

lapararoscopy
I have a complex cyst probably 7.2-7.4cm and have been told that I will need eventual laparascopy. I am back 23rd of July again for another tvultrasound to check how it is. The gynae/surgeon has done watchful waiting with me since my diagnosis as he knows I am a carer for my mum and I have no one else

Sunshiney days.
Should vit D supplements be adjusted when we are out and about in sunshine? Are amino acids worth taking as supplements? All stuff I come across in random readings. Thanks.

Any Help to break free of this rut I'm in??
I have battled mental illness most of my life(I'm 52). In 2015 in the span of a couple of months I found out my eldest daughter had been in a mentally abusive relationship, that eventually caused her a liver infection from being unable to eat a normal meal. She too has battled anxiety all her life. They

Daily back pain
I have had daily middle / upper back pain for 2 and a half years. I have pernicious anaemia too. G.p. thinks my pain is muscular. I've seen several physiotherapists. The current one thinks my pain is muscular caused by poor posture. I think she's probably right. I think it's been exacerbated by my job

Any insight as to CAUSES of cll besides 'age'or 'genetics'?
I think I once seen this asked. But, apparently, not much insight besides 'age' on causes of cll. Some have suggested that it can be certain medicines ; blood pressure, cholesterol, vitamin d pills..etc,. But others shot it down as unlikely, even though I can't find any studies refuting the link. And

Stomach problems and steroids - where next
I was diagnosed with polymyalgia in 2021. By summer 2023, I had reduced to 4.5mg. But the death of a close friend, for whom I am executor, resulted in a big flare. I consulted Rod Hughes privately in autumn 2023 and was advised to go to 15 mg and reduce in stages. I reached 9 but a flare caused by

Levothyroxine optimised?
Hi lovely people! My latest thyroid results were: TSH 1,27 (0,380-5,330μUI/mL) (18% through range) fT4 1,16 (0.38-1,40 ng/dL) (88% through range) fT3 3,79 (2,5-3,9pg/mL) (92% through range) Miraculously they finally tested fT3 for the first time, and I was so happy to see that I seem to be converting
