The other concomitant and question is
ADT
and if that also is being seen to be less of a BCRS and OS for shorter than 24 or 18 and some cases even 6 months. Is it all still controversial given research data is only 5 years so far ?

Dr Georgina Conway or any other recommendations?
Dear Friends, Please could anyone PM me any thoughts on Georgina Conway or any other good options for a sympathetic endocrinologist. I have given up with the NHS and want to try T3 or NDT if it is deemed appropriate. If it were possible to find someone who would treat me initially privately and then

please can someone advise?
I’ve posted here a few times of late, been feeling rough and exhausted since switching from Levo to Erfa 5 weeks ago. I’ve emailed the private doctor to get some advice as to whether the dose is correct she put me on. She’s said my question re doseage isn’t easy to answer and also she charges £20 for

T3 only
Hi all, I was just curious, those on T3 only, how did you go about switching to T3 only, what dose do you take and do you feel much better than on levo? This is the only thing I haven't tried other than NDT. Just thinking about it. Thank you.

PSA and CT Questions -- 15 Months Following Diagnosis
He is one year into
ADT
. Also, a CT abdomen/pelvis scan conducted yesterday revealed "sclerotic bony lesions". There was no mention of sclerotic bony lesions in his 12/2021 CT. The bone scan and CT abdomen/pelvis summaries seem contradictory to me. See below for exact wording from report.

Duration of ADT
I started
ADT
and had radiation to the spot and the pelvic lymph nodes. The radiation oncologist told me that 4-6 months of
ADT
was adequate but Kwon prefers a year. They are leaving it to me. I would love some input!

Swollen painful hand
I've had PMR for 2 years. Was started on 40 mg of prednisone. I have slowly gotten down to 13 mg. Recently I tapered to 12 mg but have not felt very well & suddenly my right hand fingers are swollen & very painful. This has never happened before. Is this some kind of flare?

Out of Date Erfa NDT
Hello, Can anyone tell me if they have taken out-of-date NDT? I have read that it may just be a little less effective but not harmful. Is this the case?

Sudden eyebrow loss
Has anyone else experienced sudden eyebrow loss since commencing treatment for hypothyroidism? I’ve been on NDT for six months and in the last month my (usually thick) eyebrows are incredibly sparse.

Will lowering T3 dose raise TSH?
I have been treated for hypothyroidism for the last 51 years, since the birth of my first child. For 12 years, T3 only, for 18 years T4 only, and for 19 years T3 only (since menopause). When I got a diagnosis for osteoporosis, I asked to have a T4 supplement for a T4/T3 ratio that would slow the parathyroids

Can a Levo dose be split Am and Pm, and can NDT be taken Am and a Levo dose added PM?
Hi Everyone, Still struggling with dose and timings 8 years into medication. I wasnt sure if anyone here has had success adding some Levo into their NDT regime in the afternoon, or whether its best to take Levo first thing in the morning (or bedtime if that the routine ) and or add a 2nd dose of Levo
