Nails!
My nails are really deteriorating, soft, bendy, peeling. They’ve been poor for ages but this is much worse. Nothing topical is helping. I’m on 75 mcgs levothyroxine and my TSH levels are good - and on 0.01 % estriol cream for dryness. Could it be that which is making the difference, although I was

3 Months post ADT (Orgovyx) Still having hot flashes and fatigue-doing blood test in two weeks..for hopefully nadir..
Stopped taking Orgovyx May 30th .... August 30th will be my 90 day blood test I presume to see if my Testosterone is BACK TO NORMAL (I hope) and my PSA is less than .o2 ?? I understand that the Testosterone back to NORMAL is more possible in the short term (90 days) than longer term use of adt? Is

Bp meds and libido in women (perimenopausal)
I’m on 12.5mg Losartan for raised Blood pressure. I’m 42 and perimenopausal. I’ve been on testosterone for my libido for about 7 weeks with little effect. I can pinpoint my libido falling off a cliff with starting Losartan. Is this a thing? Any other women who have found Bp meds affected their libido

HRT and diarrhoea
I started HRT at 49 a few months back, not due to menopausal symptoms, but because I found my testosterone to be at the very bottom of range. The very good private hormone doctor I saw said HRT should balance my hormones and is a better way to increase testosterone than by giving testosterone (it did

Was Chemo "Successful"?
I just had my first PSA test after waiting to allow the results to mean something, after 10 rounds of doxytaxel. I was supposed to wait three months but for convenience pushed it by a week. I was hoping for a close to 0 PSA but that is not the case. I see my oncologist in a little more than a week

HRT options
Hello All, I had the Mirena coil (IUD) since starting menopause and was taking oral oestrogen HRT in addition for the hot flushes (nearly 10 years now). I was on Elleste solo 1mg, which I only took every 3-4 days, as I found this dose was okay for controlling the flushes, if I took more my breasts

My 5 Year Blood Test Results
Wassersug PhD, I started applying
estradiol
gel (tE2) to lower my
testosterone
levels in an effort to suppress the proliferation of my PCa recurrence. It has been a miracle hormone for me with ONLY tiny boobs as a side effect, and I haven't seen a doctor in about 6 years.

Preparation for testosterone test?
I have a testosterone test scheduled for Wednesday morning at 8:30am. I am hoping that some people here might be familiar with this test in addition to tests involving thyroid issues. I know there are several suggestions for people having TSH tested; I scheduled the testosterone test for 8:30am assuming

Awful night sweats: hyper, hypo, other?
Hi. I have pretty awful sleep, possibly worse since recently starting Testosterone Replacement Therapy (HRT for men if you like). I'm a 56 year old man. I've been a long time member here and have had great advice about dosing and blood tests so I'd rather not post my results or detailed medication as

More on statins
I've actually been tolerating ADT quite well over the past year but beginning in January I started feeling tightness in chest, low endurance, out of breath, heavy fatigue, attributing all to Xtandi...Then in May I fainted after getting up from the couch so the old lady took me to the ER...I had an emergency

Any advice welcome on latest blood tests
I've been tinkering around with Hydrocortisone and thyroid replacement for over a year now and been symptomatic for almost 4 years with low tsh and frees. I recently stopped all thyroid and HC and felt awful after around a month, so asked my GP for help (big mistake). They only do email consults and
