Diagnosed with osteoporosis after 9 years on warfarin
I was originally diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018, but probably had it for 5 or more years before that. After an aortic valve replacement in 2013 with the On-X valve, I was prescribed warfarin. Studies link warfarin to osteoporosis, In Oct. 2021, I started on Orgovyx. I recently had a Vit. D serum

Is it normal to feel anxious when adding Armour?
I just started taking an extra 1/4 grain of Armour. I feel a bit edgy and anxious. Is this typical for an adjustment period? My previous dose was 88mcg Synthroid and 1/4 grain Armour. Adding 1/4 grain because my most recent lab results were this: August 9, 2022 TSH - 4.12 mIU/L …Range: .4-4.50 mIU

Can DIM Really Play It Both Ways?
If this is so, seemingly DIM would be managing both "disruptive enzymes" and their processes that could lead
testosterone
down pathways toward the "bad hormonal actors" DHT and estrogen/
estradiol
. Is DIM so "brilliant" that it can really "play it both ways?"

New results after 4 months ADT not good. Any advice ?
I restarted ADT in June after a rise of PSA to 18.9. After a few years off(read my bio) it seems like the criters are back after me. One month of firmigon and 3 months on Orgovyx and my test results came back today at PSA 27.98 and Testosterone 20. The T seems reasonable but my PSA should be dropping

Who is bothered most by ADT side effects and why?
[i]Interesting that they did not mention exercise[/i] Who is bothered most by ADT side effects and why? April 18, 2022 If you are on ADT or know many men who have been on ADT, you know that there is great variation in how easy it is to tolerate ADT. Some men report few side effects and little bother

Hey Lupron, where's my side effects?
Hello everyone, I got my first Lupron shot about 9 weeks back. When I saw my Onc at 7 weeks I told him that I could not clearly identify any side effects. He wasn't surprised, but I sure am! He did say that I would have noticed by then, but I'm wondering if the bomb has yet to drop

Low Testosterone Linked to Hospitalization for COVID - By Kristen Monaco, Staff Writer, MedPage Today, September 2, 2022
This research is in direct contrast to the earlier held notion that "low T" (say, via ADT) is protective for COVID. Unfortunately, the research completely evades the issue of suppressed T due to ADT in the PCa patient population. However, the earlier notion that low T provides a protective benefit was

Please help me form a plan of action based on my blood results!
Just got my bloods back and would appreciate any advice what all these could mean and/or how I can myself get well(er) as I am not at all convinced this knowledge will ever come from my clueless but kind GP and NHS Endo. By way of background, thyroid disease runs in my family, and I have had years

DHEA Advice
I just wanted a little bit of advice about DHEA. Before I started taking DHEA I took a testosterone and DHEA-S blood test. Both came back above normal for my age. I’ve started taking a small amount of DHEA (10mg) but it really doesn’t seem to agree with and I’m still struggling it. Any advice or guidance

35 Years Old - No Morning Erections for 5 years and Difficulty Maintaining Erection During Sex and Masturbating
Hi, I have noticed for the past 5 years I have not had a morning erection and recently erections have become weaker during sex and masturbation. I switched from Sertraline 100mg to Mirtazapine 45mg 3 months ago as I was told Sertraline can cause erection problems and that Mirtazapine would have less

Blood Tests & what to track
So my MO does frequent CMP, CBC, Diff, Testosterone, PSA as I'm doing chemo. Seeing my PCP soon and wondering about other lab tests to ask him to order. I was thinking Vit. D, B vits., lipids, A1C (done by MO when 1st saw her in April), Ferritin (as my hematocrit, hemoglobin & RBC count is slowly decreasing

Lupron regimen, what happens if you stop!
What are the consequences of discontinuing a Lupron regimen? Can the body ever restore its previous levels of testosterone?

First PSA jump since dx, how concerned should I be?
My latest lab work resulted in a psa increase from .616 to 1.105 in one months time. Testosterone still <12 All other panels normal less glucose at 111. I’m really hoping that it’s because I went off the diet for 9 days to enjoy a cruise? Was that stupid? I let my MO’s voice “saying eat for pleasure

A case to push for darolutamide.
out of 68 known Variants that escaped treatment darolutamide is effective against all but one. This article is from june 2021. it is a invitro study so it needs vitro study, then insilico AI to further confirm but it is still important. And even shows resistant variants to abiraterone, corticosteroids

L/T vs S/T ADT post SRT & WPLNs?
I just finished SRT & WPLN's and feel much better than I imagined (although going to dentist today about some small persistent sores on my gums that showed up last couple weeks of therapy and are slow to heal) . I've been on ADT for 16 months and last shot will expire in 2 months. PSA has been consistently

Testosterone - How low can it go?
Briefly, diagnosed in April with de novo high volume metastatic PC. Plan was to follow PEACE-1: Lupron, abiraterone & 6 rounds of docetaxel. Had to stop abiraterone first for irreg. heartbeat & then right before starting chemo as bilirubin went way up. Since chemo is hard on the liver, abiraterone is

Cirrhosis/Sprionolactone/testosterone
I know. Bit of an odd one!!! Hi all! I’d just be interested to know if anyone has had any (male) hormone issues surrounding cirrhosis and/or the use of Spironolactone. Or perhaps it’s just me?! About a month before diagnosis, (I couldn’t see them because of my swollen belly), It felt like my testicles
