ADT killing your love life? Embrace your feminine side!!
y’all can call BS if you want to but things started working again when I stopped acting like a guy. Seriously.!! I started focusing on emotional love for my wife instead of worrying about my performance and guess what. I no longer have to jab the little guy with a needle. It only took about 10 years

More drug news
I seem to have posted quite a lot about my experiences with drugs recently. I seem to be on a downward spiral and a learning curve at the same time - but not getting much relief from drugs for one reason or another. My last post was about Propranolol and I posted here because I was concerned about

Awful test results! What dosage increase should I make?
Hello everyone, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place at the minute and I don't really know what to do for the best. Hence, I am looking for some help and advice. Reason for my demise, amongst other things, is the following test results which was done via Medichecks. Levo dosage was 50mcg levo on

Recommendation re supplements
Hi allI'm fairly new to the forum and I'm finding all your info and wealth of experience extremely helpful. Have learnt that addressing possible nutritional deficiencies is important before Thyroid hormone therapy can be optimally effective. I have Hashimotos and recently posted full thyroid panel results

I miss my cock. The size and appearance of my old fella was nothing remarkable. Circumcised, a tad over the average six inches when hard (I’ll admit to measuring my erection as an insecure teenager to confirm its normality), it nevertheless possessed what I’d like to consider a certain sleek elegance.A

intro / husband in critical care
Hi My husband has a road accident on 24/11 suffered an tbi and is currently in critical care. He has been off sedation since about the 27/11 but is still unconcious. He is responding to pain and has started to lift both arms when nurses fiddle with his tubes. He was off the ventilator all day yesterday

Former patients of the late Dr Gordon Skinner
This post has two purposes. First, so that everyone knows about the research itself. Second, so that anyone who does feel strongly can make use of the opt-out. While hoping that few, if any, use this opt-out, it is nonetheless right and proper that each and every former patient knows of this opt-out

? Cover required for endometrial biopsy
I have been on prednisolone for over 2 years now and still on 10mg. I have a hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy planned tomorrow and although this is only a minor procedure with no general anaesthetic or sedation, I’m just wondering whether I will need any extra steroid cover? Does anyone have any knowledge

Hormone therapy for Endometriosis
Hello, I hope you're all doing ok. I was wondering if anyone has any advice, tips or experience in hormone therapy for endometriosis. Long story short I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis 5 years ago, I had a lap in Dec 2018 to remove endometrioma and check my tubes. In Nov 2019 I had a bowel

First injection of Lu177-PNT2002 as part of SPLASH trial
The fatigue is probably worse than what comes with
ADT
, but still very tolerable. There have luckily been no issues with nausea or diarrhea . Some of the areas with bone Mets are also hurting. Not sure if that might be from the drug attacking the cancer ?

Thyroid medication update
So presently taking 60 NDT and 25 t4 synthroid. I couldn't tolerate 90 ndt so my doctor gave me 25 t4 as a slower release and doesn't hit as hard as ndt. So it seems this addition of t4 has helped me. My sleep is better, my eyebrows filling in more, the few pounds I was holding onto seem to have dropped

Rising PSA after salvage radiation
PSA rose to 0.1 by September 2020 which triggered salvage radiation and 6 months
ADT
. This year PSA began a slow rise from <0.01 to 0.02 to 0.04 and now is 0.06. Wondering if this is worrisome? Also, I changed my atorvastatin dose from 20mg to 10mg. I’m a moderate consumer of alcohol as well.

My story won't apply to everyone, of course, but you may find a nugget worth considering. I've had mild RLS intermittently for forty years until it recently worsened. I'd always managed it with weighted heat, L-Tryptophan, magnesium glycinate, L-Theanine, and if necessary, a little pacing. At age 36,
