Low TSH, T4 but optimal T3 on NDT (22 weeks pregnant)
I'm 22 weeks pregnant and get my labs run every month. Getting treatment has been a bit messy. I was referred to an endo and went out of curiosity when I was first pregnant. But I also did my own research and read Stop the Thyroid Madness, joined some groups, etc., and learned about NDT. I felt

Update on "Zytiga failed, Xtandi next" from 8 days ago
My "winter" MO (Fl vs Mass) says the active hip lesion means the Zytiga is failing, at least at that one area only but recommends Xtandi and I am now hormone resistant after 19 months on
ADT
plus Zytiga/prednisone. I asked my "summer" MO the following.

Ndt prescription?Prevent metabolic syndrome? Izabella wentz? diet?
I read that metabolic syndrome is associated with autoimmune diseases (so also hashimoto), so I decided to prevent it (I found a book on the spot, let's hope it's good). [u]Has anyone else successfully followed izabella wentz's advice? [/u]I really liked her advice and put it into practice right away

Hope For All
In 2019, it became stage 4 and radiation/chemo/
ADT
. Thanks be to God, my PSA is still undetectable though I have a few bone mets (rib, spine). We pray for God's Mercy on all the dying, Christian, Non-Christian, and those with no faith.

Latest reults
hi I’ve just had my latest thyroid panel results, numbers seem slightly better for antibodies but still higher than they should. Ft4 & Ft3 slightly higher than last time but still not optimal? B12 and vit D is a work in progress. Ferritin is edging out of optimal towards high end, not sure what this

Living life after a prostatectomy
In 2021 was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I went through the operation and 2 months later lost my spouse of almost 50 years. Obviously, I had a lot put on my plate at one time. I'm on hormone therapy and it's dropped my PSA from 1 to .1. I would love to talk to someone who is going through the same

new blood test results - should I increase? NDT
hello all, I am on NDT and got my new blood results. They are as followed: TSH: 0.13 (0.27-4.20) Ft3: 3.10 (2.00-4.40) Ft4: 0.96 (0.93-1.70) Test was done 9 am. Last dose NDT was 24h before (1.75 grain - taken all in one). Do you think I should increase my dose of NDT? Or should I stay on

Collagen Peptide supplements and bone quality
Y'all are familiar by now that
ADT
leads to accelerated BMD (bone mineral density) loss.

Distortion of Hba1c test with levo
Hi Someone asked me to give further info about my claim that HbA1c tests cannot be relied upon if you are being treated with levothyroxine. I can't find that request now so I'm starting a new thread. The clearest statement is on the American Thyroid Association website.
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS

Prostate cancer to me is amazing with respect to all the various permutations of the disease (Age, Gleason Score, Staging, DECIPHER, Degree of Metastasis) as well as Treatment (Active Surveillance, Surgery, multiple types of radiation and other local treatments,

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

Is the a standard/preferred course of treatment for mixed ductal PC (post- RALP, post recurrence in prostate bed, post radiation)?
I’m also a tiny bit concerned about the psa reading.. was expecting <0.2… I know 0.4 is not huge, but after 3 months of
ADT
and a full course of radiation, I would have thought undetectable was likely. Thanks for any info!

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
