Thyroid medication changes when starting HRT for perimenopause
I have been self medicating with liothyronine and levothyroxine for the past two years or so. Today I started the estrogen patch for perimenopause symptoms, and will also start progesterone in a couple of days. The provider that prescribed these said that some women need to increase their thyroid

At the crossroads (again)
My profile is up to date, but, briefly, have failed chemo, ADT (am castrate resistant), failed Keytruda and now Pluvicto. Scans yest. & today show progression along with PSA rise. All my mets are in bone. So, my SOC choices are cabazataxel or radium 223. Other options are trial, which are a crapshoot

Is This Normal??
Is it normal after nearly 5 years on ADT + Zytig, Prednisone, and Xgeva, to have constant "Flu-Like" symptoms, (sans a fever)? Some days, everything hurts, legs hurt at night , feel like my blood is boiling while I try to sleep. Are these "side effects" or just part of the advanced cancer? Excruciating

Dated pop reference - sorry. While my research has continued, my oncologist has nothing to give me within the SOC to keep the PSA in check. Now I've witnessed another unwelcome visitor: facial hair (it only took me 70 yrs to start shaving....) Joking aside however, that means the T is on the rise.

Hi Everyone, You were all so kind when I had a bit of a meltdown learning about my diagnosis and then finding this forum. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I took everyone’s advice.

Gynecomastia from ADT - how much?
Gynecomastia from ADT - how much? I am considering asking my oncologist for transdermal estrogn (TDE) therapy instead of Orgovyx to combat my prostate cancer. Since gynecomastia and breast pain are pretty much the only bad side effects from TDE and less troubling to me than metabolic disturbance,

Help and Advice
I have been suffering some time now ( years perhaps ) with debilitating symptoms such as exhaustion, puffy face, coldness, constipation, dry skin, hair shedding, muscle aches and more recently severe numbness and pins and needles in my hands. I thought this may be the onset on menopause as I am now

Hi everyone I posted a couple of weeks ago and was advised to have bloods done. These are my results so hoping for further advice in supplementing or adjusting doseage. I currently take 50mcg Levothyroxine and 25mcg T3 daily. I also have B12 injections every 12wks. Latest B12 injection given day after
