What else to increase T3? Tried everything ...
Hello beautiful people, My latest TSH is 0.66 and had to lower thyroxine just a bit (from 100/88 to just 88) as was getting some hyper symptoms and felt way better with a lower dose, finally have energy and drive again! My T4 is healthy range, 60% through. However, my T3 dropped to just 10% of the range

Cortisol tests
Hi, I just had my cortisol retested to see if there had been any improvement from February 2023. Since August 2023, I have been slowly titrating NDT Armour and taking vitamins, minerals and amino acids prescribed by a private thyroid Dr. My iron & B12 are good, working on increasing vit D. I'm still

Shytomel duo
Hi guys has anyone heard of or used Shytomel NDT? I'm currently on Armour buy it's very expensive and looking fir an alternative. I have previously tried Thyroid S but I'd get bad palpitations on it when I'd need to increase the dose. The best that ever worked was TR Man but unfortunately they stopped

Why we add an AART drug to ADT?
In response to a post asking if adding enzalutamide to
ADT
is beneficial: Xtandi would increase T levels if not simultaneously using an LHRH
ADT
. It blocks AR in hypothalamus leading to perception of deficit and increased LH and testicular testosterone.

Erfa to Liothyronine Thybon Henning Dose Conversion
Hello, I used to take ERFA and levothyroxine but as my T3 was slightly high, my new Dr has put me on Thybon Henning so it will be a bit easier to manage T3 and T4 dosing (it's difficult to cut down on NDT as if I lower it I'm also lowering my total T4 dose, and I run low in T4). I have a feeling he

Natural Desiccated Thyroid, NDT, Sources
Hi everyone, I have been on NDT from Thailand for over a decade and I have only just ordered Thyroid-S. The price has gone up and I was a bit worried because I wasn't sure if the supplier would still be available. There used to be so many suppliers and with more competitive prices over there. Now, this

Thoughts on vacation and PSA
As context, I'm just finishing 12 months
ADT
+Nubeqa and last fall I finished 6 months docetaxel and SBRT to a suspect vertebrae and rib. PSA was 0.8 with 4-month doubling at BCR when I started all the above.

Tomotherapy side effects?
Our understanding is that he would have better outcome and could possibly end all
ADT

Orgovyx vs. Lupron, (with Enzalutimide or Abiraterone).
I just started
ADT
which consisted of a loading dose made up of 2 shots of Firmagon in the stomach. While the shots did not hurt much, it was about 8 hours later that experienced a lot of pain at the injection sites.

What is role of hormonal therapy drug when taken with targeted therapy, eg Piqray or Ibrance?
I’ve been curious about this and wondering if anyone can explain. I want to better understand the role of the hormone therapy eg Faslodex when taken with targeted therapy such as Ibrance. Does it just reduce the amount of estrogen available to the cell and “lightens the load” on the targeted therapy?

Dutasteride (Advodart) as an Alternative to ADT in Salvage RT Setting?
The
ADT
seems to buy a very moderate amount of extra time before metastases occurs but I've yet to find clear data that the addition of
ADT
significantly increases the probability that SRT is curative. The side effects of
ADT
are pretty harsh.

Switching NDTs
Hiya. I am currently trialling a switch to another NDT. I would be grateful if any folk that have done this could advise on dosing during the switch please. Would it be a case of just switching at the same dose, or starting again? Any thoughts would be much appreciated, thanks!

To ARi or not to ARi, that is the question
- Is the plan to stop
ADT
after 6mos a good one or is the 2yr
ADT
SoC still preferable? Getting my "woody" back sooner rather than later would be a plus.

Switching from NDT back to T3 only
Is something like NDT (T4) withdrawal symptoms possible? To be exact, if you are on T3 only but due to some circumstances have to take NDT for a couple of weeks as a replacement and then again can switch back to T3 only, then because of the longer half-life of T4 (up to 9 days I've read), can it become

Rising PSA after radiation and ADT
Hi All, I was diagnosed with PCa in April 2022 (Gleason 3+4). My PSA was 28. I was given a 3 month shot of lupron in June 2022. In August I had 20 sessions of IGRT - Image guided radiation therapy. These are PSA levels: 0.56 (Sept 2, 2022) 1.6 (Dec 27, 2022) 5.3 (Feb 14, 2023) Should I be concerned
