Endometriosis, HRT and Mirena coil.
Hello.After starting HRT about a year ago, I started symptoms of Endometriosis. In November I had a large Endometriosis cyst, ovary and tube removal through laparoscopy. The laparoscopy also discovered further cysts and evidence of Endometriosis apparent which was decided not to be touch whilst having

ART ADT n Life Without Testosterone for Prostate Cancer Patients

Are Lymph nodes a filter?
Do lymph nodes simply act as a temporary filter to prevent cancer from spreading too far? I was curious about this because I have 4th stage prostate cancer, and my Lymph had swelled to the size of a golfball. When I took the ADT, my PSA went from 1000, down to 6, and all evidence of cancer disappeared

Recovery of Testosterone
We all have heard about how long it takes to recover testosterone after you stop ADT. You probably also heard how age affects recovery time. The older you are the longer it takes and the T may never recover. The type of ADT you take can also affect recovery time - shot versus pill. I am 78 and I have

Sciatica
I went off ADT 9 months ago after 6 months of Elegard depot treatment following prostate radiation. I know that many of the side effects of ADT can persist months and even years after stopping Elegard (Lupron). But I seem to have developed new symptoms (breast sensitivity and sciatica) 6 months after

Red-Light Therapy - To Wait, or Not to Wait?
That is the question. I've spent several mornings researching RLT and while I've found a few small clinical trials and descriptions of various kinds of light therapy (see https://www.apdaparkinson.org/article/light-therapy-for-parkinsons-disease/), as well as self-promoting ads by device producers

Re: Weight lifting for ADT fat gain and weight gain
A huge thank you 🙏🏻 to everybody who posted comments for my son about lifting weights for weight gain/fat accumulation while on ADT . I sent them on and he did read them, and he called and told me that he was going to go that route and possibly higher a personal trainer too! Despite hiking just about

Return of Armpit Odor - Yikes!!!
For almost two years, I (and others! 😃) have noticed the absence of male armpit odor. Attributable to full ADT (for metastatic PCa) and suppression of testosterone. (I'm on Triplet Therapy.) This morning I was surprised to notice odor for the first time since diagnosis. Due shortly for blood panel including

First test results after adding T3 - I’m confused!
Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate your help with my latest results and welcome ideas for suggested next steps. Just a reminder, I currently self-treat. In October I posted the following results (Randox) whilst on 62.5mcg of Levo (Eutirox): TSH 1.44 (0.35-5.5) FT4 18.2 (11.9-21.6) FT3 3.96 (3.1

Estrogen vs ADT?
I've read 5 recent papers that discuss the use of estrogen as an alternative treatment to ADT (Lupron, etc.). The new data looks very favorable. A bit of history. Huggins discovered this effect around 1941-44, and he found that high doses of estrogen (estradiol) efficiently castrated men, which

DEXA scan result Poor. What to do about T3? Endocrinologist unhappy with suppressed TSH even before DEXA. How do I advocate for myself now?!

coming off gnhr analogue injections
I’ve been on gnhr analogue injections for endo and adeno for a year and they relieved all my symptoms. My consultant has now taken me off them as they started wearing off after 3 weeks and he wanted to “see how I got on without them” (which is a whole different matter and I’m quite angry about). I’m

Duluxotine
Hi. I have been on Duluxotine for about 5 months now and have not felt any benefits re: pain. It has been making me wake up.in the night and more tired. I had a cold turkey over Christmas as I couldn't get my meds and had to go back on them after 5 days as I was still rattling. I take Pregablin as well

perineural Invasion
My prostate biopsy has discovered perineural invasion (cancer along nerves) in 4 out of 6 sites with Gleason Score 9 in half of my prostate. This is associated with a significantly worse prognosis for survival. What are experiences of other men with this diagnosis? I am 84, in good health, and preparing

The Dark Time Came Again: Dealing with MDD and ECT/TMS Decision
I have been well for a while, but recently, my depression hit again like it hasn't hit for some time. My doctor is suggesting either TMS or ECT, as my medicine is not working as well as I would want. I have a dual diagnosis of bipolar disorder and borderline, and I have been seeing doctors since college
