T2 supplementation
Hi all, I've seen T2 supplementation is now a thing and some thyroid patients in America have 3 hormone treatment T4, T3 and T2. Does anyone have any information on T2 and if it is necessary if you've had a thyroidectomy? Many thanks

Is anyone taking Erleada?
For my second
ADT
treatment my doctor wants to switch to Trelstar. From what I read it sounds like Eligard and Trelstar are very similar, same side effects. Doctor also wants to add Erleada. After checking my drug plan the cost of the Erleada is exorbitant!!

Treatment Options for Hot Flashes
The hot flashes that I have been experiencing since starting my
ADT
treatments (first, Eligard & Xtandi, now Orgovyx) are limiting my sleep and the frequency of them has become more than just a little annoying. The change to Orgovyx was due to lesser cardiovascular issues.

Quick PSA Drop?
This seems like a rapid reduction just a fortnight after the first
ADT
injection - is this typical/expected? Does anyone have similar readings to compare with mine? Thanks.

Effects of ADT

ADT
might affect certain individuals .

What's normal with private consultations and NHS records?
My question is:- If one sees a consultant doctor privately, who then prescribes medication and informs the patient's GP of what he has prescribed, is it usual for that information to be added to the patient's medical record? I have been consulting a private endocrinologist who has been helping me to

"Emmanuel Antonarakis at University of Minnesota
He has had two rounds of Lupron… with 18 months of nondectable in between the two
ADT
rounds. PSA has now climbed to 1.2 It appears Lupron has stopped working. We have been told Dr. Antonarakis at University of Minnesota is highly regarded for his work with Gnomonics and Advanced PC.

Test Results
Hi Everyone I would be grateful for any comments about my recent test results. I’m confused. Briefly I have been hypothyroid for 17 years, I was on Levo but for the last 10 years I have been taking NDT which has been great. I’ve received a text saying I must see the doctor, they say I’m over
