UTIs and Vaginal Atrophy
Good morning. I normally post on the PMR forum but today I'm seeking advice about a UTI which has not cleared up despite two courses of antibiotics. The GP says that I have some vaginal atrophy and wants me to take vaginal estriol. I was prescribed 3 days of Nitrofurantoin without a urine test. After

Is it worth doing pernicious anemia test with active B12 of 68?
I'm working on getting my levels of B12, folate, ferritin and D up to ideal levels, if I can, for my thyroid. I recently got a B12 result from monitor my health of 68 pmol/L (range 38-210). I have read that you can still have B12 deficiency even if your B12 is around my level (I heard over 70 is needed

T3 initiation and fatigue
Recently started T3, keeping T4 steady, after careful analysis and review of my labs, dosage, timings and supplements. I am feeling quite fatigued (not sleepy) since first day of initiation. I have seen one post where many people have complained of this, but not with any explanation or a follow up

Back Trauma significantly worsening RLS - anyone else?
Running through some posts on this board, I followed a thread to this website: https://www.rlshelp.org/. Within it, there is a section where he writes, "There have been many anecdotal reports of patients developing RLS (or having very significant worsening of their pre-existing mild RLS) after surgery

On treating micro-metastatic disease
I watched a video posted by PCRI recently on YouTube. In the video entitled "Treating micro-metastatic disease", Dr Mark Scholz mentioned that undergoing one year of ADT is sufficient post radiation. Thereafter just monitor the PSA for any rise, and use PSMA PET scan to locate any cancer and to radiate

Feeling desperate
I'm feeling very low at the moment, and quite isolated. I'm hoping to get some advice here. I'm a 45 year old male, and have had Hashimoto's since my early 20s. After a terrible few years on thyroxin I found NDT and on the whole have been relatively well on it. However, since around 2019 I've had bouts

PSA uptick
Quick background, my dad was diagnosed with metastatic PCa in 2018. Initially treated with docetaxel + ADT. His PSA has been at/near undetected (<0.01-0.02) for several years, but recently there has been an uptick to 0.08 (similar on a recheck, so not lab error). Obviously still low-level, but concerning

Ferritin 52, hashimoto’s and post menopausal
My ferritin is 52 and I’ve just gone 12 months without a period. Also, I have hashimoto’s and a year ago my antibodies were >1000. Shouldn’t my ferritin be high as I assume I have inflammation because of hashimoto’s? A year ago my ferritin was 48, haemoglobin 134 and iron panel fine.
