Advice about recent NDT thyroid blood tests and high SHBG
Hi there! Is there any connection between high SHBG and taking NDT thyroid medication? I've been feeling better than ever on my Erfa thyroid medication and I don't feel over medicated at all, but I had high SHBG. My estradiol also seems high. I've read that one reason for high SHBG can be hyperthyroidism

Break from ADT or not?
Hi everyone, my Dad was recommended 18-24 months of Lupron/Zytiga/Prednisone after Radiation Therapy. We reached that time and MO said that is up to my Dad if he wants to continue the treatment or not. Lately my dad had high blood pressure over 200 and he ended up in ER, but now the blood pressure is

Blood Pressure experience and views sought
Hi allI have been feeling ropey,v lethargic and a bit slow for a few months now, despite increase in Levothyroxine. I had attributed this to constant blood loss(months) following HRT which didn't suit me,however this stopped 2 months ago. Previous blood tests showed haemoglobin on the low side so have

Is it safe to use red light / near infrared therapy if you have Graves' disease?
Hi all, First a little bit of background about me. I am 49, living in Ireland. I have Graves's disease diagnosed by an endocrinologist who did antibody test etc.. After diagnosis I underwent 18 months on Carbimazole and then came off for a couple of months but my T3 and T4 shot back up again (and TSH

HRT and migraines
I'd be interested to know if there are women out there who can definitely say that taking HRT has helped them with migraines. I know that the research says that there is no evidence that it helps, if anything, probably makes it worse. Or were you prescribed some medication for menopause and it actually

Recurrence after prostatectomy
I have a relative who had surgery 6.5 years ago. Pathology was very favorable, 3+3+tertiary 4 i.e. less than 5%, no pos margins, no ECE, no nodes. He remained undetectable for 6.5 years, but now is .07 verified. What would SOC be for him? Prostate bed or wide radiation, length of ADT, just Lupron or

ADT working mechanism
I was just wondering, I heard dr. Richard Joel Wassersug Saying that ADT works well and better if you continue with it but if you start and stop, start and stop, it doesn’t work as well. Did all of you from your own experiences found this to be the case based on your experiences? Thanks for any feedback

thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)
Warriors: Recently, I posted about 1 year side effects. Thank you for all of your responses. My SEs got the best of me and I’m writing from a hospital bed. The current theory is I have TTP, which is associated with hormonal therapy. I wanted to write and see if any of you have had the misfortune

restricted urinary flow
Finished IMRT/ SBRT radiation to lymph nodes last week. Since then Ive begun have early AM restricted urinary flow - Very narrow stream. Rad Onc suggested tamsulosin or ibuprophen. MO, tamsulosin. Any work around for the early AM problem that I could take overnight? Ibuprophen has to be taken all

Adenomyosis, should I have hysterectomy?
The short version is that I have adenomyosis. I've always had heavy periods with period pains that make my thighs numb and require prescription painkillers. At the age of 44 I had some symptoms of perimenopause and tried HRT. After two years I came off and that seems to have triggered a strong reaction

Soy concerns
Hi, I have been focusing on the nutrition posts to improve my diet as I have osteopenia. I am reading a lot of posts and articles saying to incorporate soy. I stay away from soy because of breast cancer risks. I don't have breast cancer but avoid any estrogen enhancing products/medication like hormone
