Adrenal Insufficiency or GCA or both?
I have looked at the FAQs but cannot readily find an answer so here goes.By way of quick update I restarted pred about 3 months at 10mg because my PMR symptoms came back. I have been tapering at 1mg every 5 weeks using Dorset Lady's slow taper (thank you again). I am shortly to reduce from 7mg to 6.5mg

The Queen is here!
Hi all, it's been a while but I'm still going strong 😁 I didn't look back to see what was up the last time I was here. I am still not on dialysis and I've had my fistula for several months now. It's become so thick and strong. I think it's doing well. I've tried not to worry every day about having to

Stopping clopidogrel safely—abruptly or gradual cessation?
I’ve been on clopidogrel (Plavix) for one year after a drug eluting stent was placed in my significantly blocked LAD (aka widow maker artery) 2/23. I’m wondering if the following is true or not, and what your experience has been with stopping clopidogrel safely—abruptly or gradual cessation? Because

Non metastasis castrate resistant
When you are on ADT and become Non metastatic Castrate resistant and your testosterone levels are below zero, what is the cancer feeding off to cause the PSA to still rise? Hoping for your replies so as to give me some understanding. Thank you.

Do you think I need an increase in my T4 dose???
Hi all, I have hashimoto and hypo since many years. I take T4 medication ( 100 mg) every morning. The brand name is Euthyrox ( the version which has mannitol and citric acid instead of lactose). This is my thyroid test results after 14 months of no tests at all due to lack of medical insurance. I was

Morgentaler Saturation Model: PSA vs Testosterone - Estrogen Patch vs Lupron ADT
This is a plot of % reduction in PSA from a Maximum Value versus Testosterone, for two different datasets: Estrogen Patch and Lupron ADT. Both curves (red and green lines) show a linear response starting from (0,0), up to about 200-250 ng/dL. Then, the lines curve over to a lower slope (especially

PSMA Scan to be scheduled - thank you Tall Allen
I want to thank Tall Allen for his suggestion that I see an oncologist. I had a RP followed by radiation in 2013. My PSA was undetectable until 2021, when it started to rise. This week I saw a radiation oncologist (whom I found through a friend) to ask him a lot of questions and to get his advice.

after a stent…
This is for information only for those who may have a stent fitted recently or about to. It’s about side effects that can happen and why. I had a stent fitted to open up my LAD just before Christmas this year after being on a medical regime for 11 months. The procedure took about an hour rather

Effects of medications
I was diagnosed with PD about a year ago. I am of course interested in anything that is neuroprotective. I was told that only exercise is so I do that. Some believe that nicotine is so I have been on nicotine gum for several months. So far I have not noticed progression. My primary symptom is weakness
