I know of three men using high-dose trans-dermal estradiol (TDE) to suppress their testosterone (and thus their cancer) for 4, 6 and 20 years without progression, but these are mere anecdotal evidence. I seek more anecdotal evidence or, better yet, some authoritative data.

Hi, I've recently had a review blood test to check my TSH levels and it has raised significantly since my last test. I've started taking HRT and thought I'd read somewhere that this can change how much levothyroxine you will need. I'm currently taking 75mcg Levothyroxine (teva) I was also baffled that

Hi, I'm new to the group, and I am so grateful I have found you. I have had restless legs since being a child and it's only in the past few years it's been diagnosed. I have it in my legs /feet and arms. They put me on pramipexole 88mg one at night. At first I thought it worked but for considerable months

For those of you who have been following the excellent results supporting estradiol patch ADT from the PATCH phase-III trial, I recently ran across this early 2008 PATCH paper by R. Langley et al. https://bjui-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1464-410X.2008.07583.x While the numbers

Trying to figure out what to ask the MO or PCP about lack of bone density, degeneration in spine and feet. Nuclear bone scan also shows bone density in top edge of hip bones. I am currently using alendronate and .025 Estradiol patch twice weekly with 1200mg calcium/D3 daily, and weekly Vit K, w/ a

YES, this time I am in need of your research! 😜 I will have a PET scan in January, and that will be followed by a nice talk with my MO. I want to show him data from trials to convince him that in my condition some metformin would do me good (for metabolic syndrome and also because there seems to

I had a very spirited meeting with my MO in Thursday and as usual he was resistant to everything, but especially defensive when it came to estrogen. We discussed about five topics coming out of the large clinical trials of the last decade or more. I'll limit this post to low dose estrogen use. I bought

Well i jumped off BAT on Oct 2nd as my PSA skyrocketed along uric acid. It appears one can cause the other to rise and vice versa. So from Sep 30 to Oct 30 my psa spiked from 1.4 to 6.36 at which time i visited ER for kidney stone. It’s all in the graph along with a text explanation. Needless to my

2 years ago I started on 3 monthly injections of goserellin which has taken psa level to undetected. Have recently added Abiraterone ( Yonsa ) 500 mg per day and hot flashes have re-emerged as a major issue. MO won’t prescribe Estradiol and has instead proposed cuyproterone. Tall Allen, do you have

Hi guys, I'm in the process of reading this so can't comment on it's usefulness, but read enough to know it would be of interest to many here. https://academic.oup.com/jes/article/8/7/bvae107/7687567

They have put me on testosterone cream I started 3 weeks ago, because I was midrange on Free testosterone. Estradiol and progesterone in a good ratio to each other, higher in range too.

Hello, We are going for our 8th transfer. This time is a frozen embryo transfer, and I have started estradiol (Progynova) twice a day. This feels like our first round of IVF where I'm not having to do injections! So, that's a positive. Got my fingers crossed for this round. Feeling very hopeful. 🙂

Hi everyone, looking for some advice, I’m very confused, and getting desperate. Sorry this is long. Bloods 2 weeks ago, taking 100 mcg T4 and 20-25 mcg T3 (10x2) (24 hrs since last T4, ~15 hrs since T3) — T4: 12 (11–24). T3: 4.3 (3.6–6.5). TSH: fully suppressed. Has been for years. Little

These came through today. Tests were Thursday 7/11. 8.30am. Water only before test. T4 taken 23 hours before and T3 taken 15 hours before test. I take 25mcg T4 Levo and 2 x 10mcg liothyronine per day. I have an intolerance to Levo. First dose was 100mcg and I had suspected heart attack - ischaemic

I have a history of oligometastatic PCa since dx in 2013. See my profile. After relative quiescence for the last three years on XTANDI and five years on estradiol patches for ADT, PSA jumped from .9 to 4.2 from July to October. CTPETPSMA scan found three bone Mets. The only pain I’ve ever experienced
