Hello everyone. Firstly I want to say a big thanks to everyone that helped me understand my mum's results and situation. I also got my wires crossed and gave some wrong info. My mum did have a test before they prescribed 25mg, TSH 8.58. They said as she was 'borderline' they would try levo before considering

fast-rising PSA
I’m in the control group for the new Lutetium-177–PSMA-617 study re: use of Lutetium in the early stages of treatment for metastatic disease, pre-chemo. I was diagnosed 3/23 - high volume/high risk, and have been on Firmagon and Abiraterone plus pred. In Sept my PSA started to rise, with testosterone

Is this thyroid?
hi there, I have been struggling with what I thought was Peri menopause/menopause symptoms for a while (dizzy spells, headaches, brain fog, dry eyes, fatigue etc) Last year these symptoms got progressively worse with pain under left arm in lymph node and weakness to the point I felt like collapsing

How long did it take for your HRT estrogen patch to take away your hot flashes?
I have been taking the estrogen patch for about 2 and a half weeks now-(generic Estradiol 0.075mg) and I have not gotten any relief in my hot flashes....My story is more complicated in that I am making absolutely NO estrogen due to years of anorexia making my pituitary gland not produce estrogen. So

Worse after an UTI and Covid
Good afternoon. About five weeks ago I developed an UTI for which I took three separate courses of antibiotics as it wouldn't clear. In the same period I contracted Covid which didn't affect me much. I only found out that I had it because a friend who I'd spent time with had done a Covid test and it

Any advice welcome
Hello. Does anyone have advice on the use of estriol cream for vaginal atrophy. Also whilst seeing the urologists they have advised that I should not worry about the fact that I have both maternal and paternal grandmothers and maternal aunts who had breast cancer. Also they've changed medication to Hiprex

Is there seasonality to testosterone levels?

Help or advice or suggestions needed
I don't know what's wrong with me. Let me try to make it simple. I always want to do something badly and very intensely. I'm just unable to make myself do that work. You can call it laziness, you can call it anything, carelessness, but I'm very sure it is not that. To give you an example, I'm going through

UTIs and Vaginal Atrophy
Good morning. I normally post on the PMR forum but today I'm seeking advice about a UTI which has not cleared up despite two courses of antibiotics. The GP says that I have some vaginal atrophy and wants me to take vaginal estriol. I was prescribed 3 days of Nitrofurantoin without a urine test. After

INSULIN TOLERANCE TEST - Low cortisol & chronic insomnia
I’m still battling to get to the bottom of my chronic insomnia. I have low cortisol, also oestrogen and testosterone (despite HRT) and DHEA. I’ve had a Short Synacthen Test, which I passed as most thyroid people do. So I now know the problem doesn’t lie with the adrenals. I presume it’s with the

In Our Time: Hormones
On BBC Radio 4 yesterday (8th February 2024), almost an hour of discussion about hormones. I don't think there will be much new to members who have been around for a while. But there might be glimpses illustrating interesting aspects of hormones across all animal life. Thyroid hormones do get several

Fatigue, coma naps and pituitary
Hey everyone, Has anyone experienced such bouts of fatigue where you fall asleep and you just have to fall asleep that given moment and you are gone for an hour? This started happening to me in July last year, but got increasingly worse over time. I thought it was my iron, but I fixed that with iron

Testosterone replacement therapy while having Paroxysmal AFib.
