Newbie trying to get off Pram
I've been on 2x 0.088 for a while. Compared to what I've been reading on the forum it sounds a low dose....I think.I started augmenting so managed to get Gaba from GP the other day. GP said I could come straight off Pram but I've taken 1 x 0.088 tonight with 300mg gaba. It's 02.15 and my legs are going

Starting Third Month of Orgovyx--Update
Blood test after two months shows PSA of 1.45, down from 16.5--over a 90% drop. So, the medication is working as advertised. I believe their own stats indicate an approx. 98% drop in 90 days. This week's visit with my new MO nurse practitioner went well. She was very happy with the PSA results and

Pes Anserine Bursitis - steroid injection offered.
On Thursday I had an appointment with a rheumatologist who had previously been quite impatient and dismissive of me. I made up my mind to give him the briefest details of my woes over the last 9 months. (This is a 6 monthly appointment 😂). He was happy for me to continue with my slow tapering and then

Hot flashed & wright gain

Fibroscan – is it too early to be jubilant?

Decrease in levothyroxine again!!
Any ideas why for 8 weeks I’ll be on 100mg and then I’ll have blood test and I’ll have to be decreased to 75mg then 8 weeks later I’ll have a blood test and it will be put back to 100mg and now again it’s being decreased it’s so frustrating. I feel awful when on 75mg but they don’t listen to how I feel

Nosebleeds and thyroid / blood test query / going private

Help with recent blood tests please
Hi all, Further to previous posts… Endo finally prescribed T3 5ug and had advised reducing T4 from 100 ug to 75 ug which I was reluctant to do as I felt so awful after reducing from 125ug on 12/01/24. Previous bloods taken on 22/02/24 while on 100ug T4 for previous 6 weeks : T4 19.5 ( 12-22 range)
