How content should I be with my current treatment 🤷
Sounds like a logic hole to me 🤔 And when I've brought up to my MO the idea of just
ADT
vacation (s) much less BAT, the conversation seems to dissipate. So I'm wavering.

NDT Source
Hello Running very low on NDT. Any recommendations where to purchase from? Bought just before c-1-9. Please share available sources and variations. I have been on a few brands of NDT. All seem to work fine as long as it is NDT. So if my current brand is not available for whatever reason, it appears

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

? 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

WHERE TO FROM HERE
Hi. I am 10 months post thyroidectomy. I am well and am on 180ndt a day as a single dose. My GP is telling me he is concerned about such a high dose and feels I am using the NDT as a stimulant to live my active lifestyle. My GP has told me he is worried about me and the 180ndt is as addictive as nicotine

PSA #’s elevated from sex (After ADT and RT) part Deux
As a follow up to my post last week similar title), I retested after abstaining from sex, exercise and heavy work for 60 hours and my PSA went from .8 to .7! I failed to mention that in addition to sex, I have been going to the gym on a very regular basis and physically work daily as well! Soooo there

NDT Armour dosing
I’m 2.5 months into Armour treatment, now adjusting to 1/2 grain at 6am and 1/4 grain an hour after lunch. Insomnia is one of my worse symptoms, I take 20mg of amitriptyline which has worked well for the last year, I sleep 12-7am. Since the latest Armour dose increase my insomnia has worsened and I

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

Finishing up my SBRT treatment this week. Now What?
Choose SBRT + 18m
ADT
as treatment. Finishing up SBRT(week of 12/9/22). My questions are: 1. How do we know that the RT was successfully executed/delivered? I understand the timeline and how to monitor the outcome of PSA recurrence.

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

ADT and IBS symptoms worse
My Consultant asked that I also have a one of shot of another
ADT
(in addition to the tablet) immediately prior to start of RT. Since I had the shot ( 4 days ago) my IBS seems worse than ever - it's very bad anyway. Terrible diarrhoea, cramps etc.

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

I am now off
ADT
, and testing every 6 months. Libido is returning, but my equipment has been through the wringer. I’m 60 and would some day like to somehow resume relations with spouse. This, plus the assumption of cancer returning at some point, has me down.

What Do You Make of This?
Is this saying that targeted treatment with no or limited
ADT
would have been sufficient, especially if HDR brachytherapy were used with IMRT?

T4 over range yet again due to side effect of Amiodarone. I have no thyroid, am on 25mcg levo daily now. In a dilemma
Hi all I am aware that most people on this site will have little knowledge about the drug Amiodarone so here is a brief account of what it is used for and it's potential side effects that can alter conversion of thyroid medication such as levo or NDT so pushing levels either up or down. It can also effect

I have just had the new test offered by Monitor My Health which I think is good value for money. My thyroid tests were good. I am on 2.5 grain of NDT so my TSH is suppressed. TSH .01 (.27 - 4.2) T4 20.3 (12 - 22) T3 5.9 (2.1 - 6.8) I'm not sure whether I need to be higher in some of
