The good news is that my husband sailed thru the Orgovyx with no problems whatsoever, now is in his 6th month and is due to complete that treatment at the end of June. The bad news is that he has had 22 sessions of salvage RT. He is supposed to have a total of 38 however, he has developed severe cramping

I just discovered this wonderful site. I am 69, female, and live in Quebec, Canada. I have had RLS since I my youth and can identify with so many of your struggles. When officially diagnosed in my 20’s, I was prescribed clonazepam which helped for a few years. I then was referred to a neurologist and

hello! So I have been monitoring my thyroid now for a couple of years since I did an at home test with medichecks in 2023 and my TSH was 4.24 and my tpo antibodies were positive at 80 something… In the last year and a half I’ve done 3 tests and my TSH has been swinging between 1.6 and 4 and my TPO antibodies

I’m just back from ENT appt. US showed a few nodules but one small one looked different. It was FNA’d and the biopsy shows inflammatory cells (lymphocytic I think he said?). I have positive TPO and Tg.. He can’t rule out malignancy although he is slightly leaning towards it not being, so is getting

Ok new results in, opinions please do I contact the doctors yet or not as the results page say subclinical-hypothyroidism. Would the doctor bother with these numbers and can I push to start treatment to combat symptoms of weight gain, dry skin and muscle fatigue. TSH 9.2 high TSH levels high (

Thyroxine increased from 100mcg by tiny amount recently due to increased TSH. (25mg over 4 days - quartered tablets).

Blood work is showing hashimotos antibodies are slowly rising over two

I have Hashimoto's hypothyroidism but with diet my antibodies are undetectable. My rt3 was high, ft3 low, so we lowered NDT to half (120mg to 60) and I started feeling much better.
