Been on Firmagon with Zytiga and Prednisone PSA rising, what can I do next?
Information in Bio Hoping to try a PARP inhibitor or Provenge perhaps, I don’t know much about this, but my medical oncologist keeps mentioning pluvicto, I’m not interested in doing that yet. Information from Bio below: Diagnosed 07/01/2022 Diagnosed By PSA Score 942.40 06/24-2022-07/06/2022

TSH Supressed, T3 2.7, T4 12 & Antibodies 38
I've had problem with my thyroid for years but it's still so confusing! My doctor wants to reduce my Levo as thinks I'm over but I still have all the symptoms of under. She's also very confused that my TSH is supressed but my T3/T4 are under or borderline. I take 50mcg of Levo and 60mcg of Thyroid

Having Private Blood Tests Done. Asking for Peer Review.
I am going to have some private blood tests done. Not worth discussing what is needed with a physician who has no idea what is needed. Note: I did figure out that when a physician says they are going to order some blood work that what they are really doing is checking off boxes that show up on the

Official trial for patients to stop their thyroxine for 6 weeks. Has anyone done this?
Have any members done this trial? This trial run by Newcastle Hospitals Trust ends in November 2024. It involves hypothyroid patients stopping their thyroxine for 6 weeks - to see how they felt when not taking thyroxine, and if they'd recommend a friend doing the same. ITT Improve Thyroid Treatment

Study
Apologies if I’m way behind and have missed a thread or two on this topic. Has anyone heard of the current study in Newcastle where patients stop their T4 for 6 weeks so doctors can see if they really need it?

advice, thoughts please, feeling rather desperate?!
hi I only got one response to my recent post which was so kind but no feedback so am trying again as I’m a bit stumped. I’d hoped going on NDT would relieve fibro symptoms and generally help me feel better, and give me more energy, but despite latest test results I don’t feel that much different. Certainly

The relationship between Tsh and T4
I hope this isn't annoying as I am still trying to learn this and understand better. I understand that for 90% of people with hypothyroidism TSH is a good indicator to use for fine tuning their medication dosage. But then there are the other 10% who can have various other issues getting in the way

blood pressure
Hi, Has anyone experienced high blood pressure and do you know if this is from too much medication or a hypo symptom? I am homozygous dio2 and T4 on last bloods was 15 (10-22) and t3 was 6.6 (3.1-6.8). At the time I was on 87.5 T4 and 20 T3 but I had only been on the 20 T3 for a few weeks when my

Is there any correlation between low thyroid hormones & spinal stenosis
Hi, Just curious. Was just diagnosed with severe spinal stenosis. I believe it has been going on for years & reasons to believe possibly not acquired but congenital. I know thyroid issues do not cause it & if there is a congenital aspect to mine of course it is not the reason. But researching any links

Important caveat regarding estrogen therapy
Prof. Richard Wassersug tells me that estrogen therapy may be contraindicated if you have a BRCA 1 or 2 gene mutation. You can get a free, saliva germline genetic test of 30 genes from Color, Inc. as part of the PROMISE registry.

Latest thyroid test results
Hi everyone, After being underdosed on 25mcg of Levothyroxine for almost a decade, my new GP increased my dose to 50mcg around 6 months ago. The increase was done slowly over 6 weeks, as advised by people in this group. I had some blood tests done two days ago and today I got a message from the GP saying
