Experiences with

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)

Hello you lovely people. Anyone that have read my previous posts knows I am a 73 year old lady and am in permanent AF. I have recently started suffering with what I think is arthritis in both knees. I have been loaned a bottle of CBD gel to put on at night . My neighbour raves about how good it is. My

Ciao a tutti, vi seguo da molto tempo ma questo è il mio primo post. Ho terminato la terapia di 2 anni con ADT ad agosto e mentre aspetto che il testosterone si riprenda mi chiedevo se qualcuno ha continuato dopo ADT a prendere cerotti di estradiolo (25 mcg 2 volte a settimana) per le ossa fino al recupero

I had spot radiation in June for olio metastatic (2 spots), PSA was .036. In Aug PSA went down to .028. Now it’s .031. Does this mean the radiation of the 2 spots did not work? How long should I wait before ADT?

I am on Orgovyx and Xtandi since June. I can't say if it is related to one of those drugs but for the past few weeks it feels like my eyesight is declining. At first I thought it was because I was due for a new pair of glasses so I had some made but it still does not feel right at times. I keep flipping

My two-year-course if Lupron and abiraterone will be done in March 2025. My MO is saying 2 years is sufficient but I see some people suggesting 3 years. My situation. Dx in Feb 2023, PSA of 27. Gleason 4+3, BRACA2+, PSMA Pet showed three lymph nodes in pelvic area. 73 years old. Also diabetic and

Is it safe to take HRT with thyroid medication? Does taking the two together increase your risk of cancer ? thanks in advance.

Im 44 and I've been dealing with anxiety on and off since 1997. I also have Ulcerative Colitis. Over the last 5 years the breakdowns have been at its worst. About 5 years ago a had a steroid shot for sinus problems, had a breakdown, serve anxiety, could sleep for 6 days. Never been the same since. About

Hi all. Very new here. I guess I’m just looking to see if anyone has any similar issues, a bit of reassurance and advise me on what the heck I’m meant to be doing! Went on the contraceptive pill at 17 as I got the most horrendous pain that would make me pass out nausea etc and they were very heavy.

I've been experiencing hypothyroid symptoms for a couple of years now. My TSH has been steadily creeping up, but so far has remained in the "normal" range when checked in my local surgery, around 3.4. I had some private tests done and my TSH was shown as 4.4 (June) and 5.9 (August). My second test

I have RA and trying to decide if HRT is the route to go..I am on many meds for the RA and not sure if HRT is safe. I have had RA for 35 years and currently I am 55 years old. I have not had a period in 5 months. My symptoms are heart palpitations, anxiety, brain fog, and, hot flashes. Will it get easier

I see some posts here mention that some people had a psa rise and then got some met radiated and psa went down again. So one is on hormone therapy and psa rises , it does not necessarily mean one is getting castrate resistant ? Just trying to educate myself 😊

I am currently going through the peri-menopause. My GP has strongly advised to have a coil fitted to fix my irregular heavy menstruation. Once this has been rectified I can have HRT that i desperately need. As a 49year old with no children I didn't want the coil fitted as I have heard horror stories

I’m on 87.5mcg levo. My last blood tests showed low ferritin (32), t4 19.1 (12-22) t3 3.9 (3.1-6.8), slightly over range testosterone (on hrt but not on any testosterone). I’m seeing a thyroid specialist for the first time at the end of the month and will ask about iron testing and low ferritin, and

One year and three months ago a had HD Brachyboost with full pelvic radiation for 4+3, but with high .88 decipher. Initial PSA 4.8 I was on one year Orgovyx and Nubeqa and finished three months ago. My nadir on ADT was 0.006. Today was my first post-ADT PSA test. It’s .313 and I’m shocked. I know

first time poster here, 37yo M. I have been feeling exhausted for a long time now and been struggling with constipation. We can’t find a reason for this but my GP did some bloods that showed a normal T4/T3 but a TSH of 3.7 which is the upper limit of the normal range. I have been begging to trial thyroid

Hey all,So we went for frozen embryo transfer on 28th Aug with 5bc that had defrosted perfectly and my body responded well to the HRT fet protocol. Day 9 home preg test was neg right up until bloods on day 12 which also came back neg. Feeling down, low and upset along with anger and frustration. Want

After my pitiful NHS results in December ( before starting self sourced T3) my GP increased my Levo to 200mcg a day. I haven't been taking that much, obviously as I'm taking 150mcg of Levo and 12.5mgs of T3. The GP I spoke to said retest February and unfortunately my surgery have been uncharacteristically

Hello everyone, I just had a question about progesterone. So I did an IVF FET(HRT) on 16th Aug and was asked to test my progesterone during the TWW. On 22nd August my progesterone was 40.26 ng/mL I later went on to get a BFP and bhcg (24,000 now) has been rising as it should. Now I'm at 6w1d and tested

A friend of mine was diagnosed with CBD last year, but started with symptoms about 4 years ago. It started in her left hand, she lost control and dropped things. At first it was thought she had had a stroke, but the symptoms have gotten worse. She has no coordination, or balance. She falls regularly
