Fallout from PET/CT Scan
My PET/CT scan on November 1 detected progression of metastatic prostate cancer while on Lupron. This made my cancer castrate resistant and I am on Abiraterone 1000 mg + Prednisone 5 mg. The PET/CT report also stated severe coronary artery calcification. Yesterday I had CT scan of the heart. The report

Need advice on these blood test results - wondering if it might be hypo, but Dr's all say numbers are fine.
I have just stumbled upon this site, and am hoping that you knowledgeable people can help me out.

I'm undiagnosed, never been on any thyroid hormones. Feeling unwell for over 2 years - fatigue/tiredness, weight gain, hair loss (decreased hair density on scalp), loss of outer third

I am on calcium channel blockers, does this block calcium getting to the heart only or the entire body? Is there any point in taking calcium supplements? Just wondering..

Leg swelling - hyperthyroid
Hi, I was diagnosed with Graves two months ago, put on 20mg Carbimazole, 120mg Diltiazem daily. My last blood test on Dec 7 showed my thyroid numbers are in the normal range for the most part and so my Carbimazole dose was reduced to 5mg once per day; I was taken off the calcium channel blocker. I

Alternative to beta blockers
I was experiencing severe breathlessness whilst exercising which coincided with my use of a beta blocker to treat AF.

Last dexa was good news
Two years ago my left femoral was -2.9, well into the osteoporosis range and my spine was .6, but nobody really knows what's going on with my spine because bone spurs which they've seen on a ct can make your spine look much better than it is. My doctor immediately suggested fosamax, but I wanted to

Pain everywhere.
I've been 10+ yrs searching for answers. I had some bladder problems in 2013. Doctors did surgery. I almost died. Apparently they told me my blood vessels looked funny. They didn't know if they "knicked " me or what but I lost 8 pints of blood very quickly. They barely got me transfusion in time. I chalked

so many supplements, so much money - any advice for lowering the cost?
hi everyone, I’ve just added up how much I’m spending on ndt and supplements and it’s an awful lot of money. I wondered if anyone had advice on cheaper options or those they think are unnecessary. I’ve got hashimotos and have also been diagnosed with ME/ CFS - these are a mixture of things recommended

Suggestion if you suffer from constipation or IBS-C
If you suffer from hard, dry stools, constipation, stools that are hard to pass you can try: Magnesium Citrate This has worked for me and may help you. Besides drinking lots of water and working out, healthy diet But Magnesium Citrate is known to put water back into your stools. If you take too much

Getting a thyroidectomy soon, what to expect?
Hi, recently diagnosed with a tumour in my thyroid, so team at hospital will be removing the whole thing soon. I am overwhelmed with all this stuff I've been reading here about T4/T3, vitamins, calcium etc. I thought I just had to take a tablet every day, dosage might be adjusted if necessary, but that

Scans other than PSMA for PC
My husband’s PSA continues to rise yet his PSMA scans are all clear. His last PSMA was late October with a PSA of 4.7 His PSA today was 6.5 It seems I have noted on this forum some other type scans should be done besides PSMA. His ALK PHOSPHATE is 85 (normal) Calcium levels all normal. Thanks

I am in the throws of reading Chris van Tulleken's book Ultra-Processed People. It has been an eye opener. Not that one hasn't been aware of the harms of processed food but perhaps one has been unaware at how extensive it is and also how seemingly malicious for corporate gain? What does come out is
