ADT & Joints
Reading the posts this morning I came across a reply that mentioned joint deterioration as a result of
ADT
. I just came off 24 mo of
ADT
. I've had some major inflammation in my knees the past two weeks. Could this be related to
ADT
- or perhaps an SE of RT to the lymph - or is it just old age?

Can you reject GNRH analogues? Consequences? Please help.
Hi there, I'm going in for my second Endo surgery next week, 9cm endometrioma, and the MRI showed a few other lesions. My last surgery was 6 years ago, and they removed a 16m endometrioma. The surgeon called last week in response to some questions I had and made an offhand remark about having a shot

Hypothyroidism and levothyroxine treatment only inadequate?
I had a bad experience on levothyroxine only. I am now on T3 but not optimal yet although much better than I was on the levo.I had to go to hospital appointment regarding my dupuytrens contracture, and the doctor, who was going through my medications list, asked why I wasn't on levothyroxine. I told

Hashimoto
Being diagnosed as a six year old with Hashimoto, which had already destroyed my thyroid I was always wondering what other treatment options are out there. Over the last some years I found out a lot about related illness that I have like high cholesterol, teeth problems, on and off iron deficiency etc

Who else has Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) in addition to their PCa?
It appears that it is under dxed since many of the symptoms are the same for lots of diseases/SEs like
ADT
meds. Also folks died with it as well as from it. Only cure is a bone marrow transplant which is not available to folks over 60 and are fraught with bad outcomes.

ERFA Source
Hi. I remember from a long time ago, there is one stockist abroad that will sell ERFA without needing a prescription. I would be really grateful if anyone can tell me who it is by PM, thanks. I am desperate to try it as Thyroid S is no longer working for me. My health authority will not prescribe any

Anyone else feel the same?
Each time I have to go through the process of buying NDT I go through a series of emotions.1. Angry that in this day and age I have to buy meds from Thailand 2. That the NHS won't let us have the meds we need 3. The cost if these meds, how will I afford once I've retired 4. The fact the cost is highly

Reassurance about taking T3 during pregnancy
Hi All I’m just looking for some reassurance if anyone else has continued on T3 during pregnancy. When I tested positive my ft4 was 17.5 (12-22) but my ft3 tanked from 4.4 to 3.1(3.1-6.8) and all my hypo symptoms were terrible. (Previous ft4 was17.1 and ft3 4.4 so I was still probably under medicated

Need your advice, pls, what should I take and how?
Hey all, I've been on a bit of a journey, unwell for the past few years, diagnosed 2012, did awesome on thyroid meds until...I didn't. Since I have now all cofactors optimal (vit D, B12, folate, iron, ferritin - after iron IV, magnesium), I feel my problem either stems from cortisol issues or balance

Considering NDT
Hello everyone, It’s been a while since I have posted! I wish I could say it’s because I have been doing really well on my thyroid journey. I have been very unwell, picking up infections and having allergic reactions to antibiotics that left me with swelling around my eye and now a really ‘nice’ scar

Post RT decisions on ADT and relative risk benefit
I am offered just HT as i have other comorbidities and am 72, or RT and
ADT
with curative intent still (though I’m a bit sceptical now on how real that is with G9).

Advice about recent NDT thyroid blood tests and high SHBG
Hi there! Is there any connection between high SHBG and taking NDT thyroid medication? I've been feeling better than ever on my Erfa thyroid medication and I don't feel over medicated at all, but I had high SHBG. My estradiol also seems high. I've read that one reason for high SHBG can be hyperthyroidism

Quitting work
Unsure of the purpose of this post but I guess if it helps someone else then that’s it! Well I finally had to quit my job aged 35 - my symptoms have become incompatible with it and I cannot keep calling in sick, nearly having accidents on the commute, sweating when someone is taking ages in the only
