Help with latest results please
These are my latest thyroid results. I’m still struggling with hypo type symptoms but no medic will diagnose me. My latest cortisol blood test was good and I’ve managed to raise my oestradiol level by using hrt so I doubt it’s menopause that’s the culprit as all medics suggest. I’ve tried 25 and 50 levo

Androgel for bipolar androgen therapy
Androgel (I use cernos) at 150 mg/day gets my testosterone up to 1598 ng/dl. Half-life is less than a day. So clears very fast compared to injectable esters (even propionate). I had to do a mass spectrometry test to get my actual T value. My predictions based on studies and half-life was 1589 ng/dl.

Start Over or Decrease Dose
The labs below are for 2 grains of NP Thyroid tested about 10 hours after my dose. I see an Integrative doctor and we are not agreeing on the next step . I definitely felt overmedicated. I was emotional, looked and felt horrible, and felt like I was starving all the time, so I believe I need to lower

Hello, writing on behalf of my husband. Diagnosed less than a year ago, and being treated with Firmagon/Xtandi. Though the urologist tells us he is in remission with a PSA currently <0.13 the ADT is causing a poor QOL due to extreme fatigue, weight loss, muscle loss, nausea and food tastes bad, chronic

Stagnant Condition.
I've had a prostatectomy followef by salvage radiation due to a rising PSA. Initially, the salvage radiation worked and PSA was undetectable. However, a few months passed and my PSA steadily rose at a quite rapid rate doubling about every three months to .8 before stabilizing. For the last 6 months it

Blood test help
Hi I wonder if you'd mind raising any problems with my bloods please. I recently saw an endocrinologist for my chronic insomnia, which I believe is caused by my low cotisol/low DHEA. I am always struggling with low ferritin, and even more now I've gone off liver and liver pate. I am trying to eat

Lycopene + Sulforaphane - Forms, Dosage, Upsides, Downsides?
I've got Gleason 3+4 PCa, PMSA PET, 3T MRI, CT Bone Scan show nothing outside capsule, but 31 PSA (Age 53). Have Robotic Prostatectomy scheduled in a couple months. Done tons of research and the area I'm most "unsure" of is CAMs (Complimentary Alternative Medicines). From what I've gathered, Lycopene

Treatment prognosis
First, a bit of background. I'm 74 years old, and in March 2021, after an MRI and biopsy, I was diagnosed as having T3b prostate cancer with involvement of the left seminal vesicle, Gleason 7 (4 + 3) ISUP group 3, PSA 11. The Radiation Oncologist told me that treatment was going to be 6 months Zoladex

ADT Vacation Ending - What are your Triggers
Hey guys. For those of you who take ADT vacations, what are your triggers for resuming ADT? PSA => ? Testosterone =>? Others? Also, do you proceed with a scan once you come back from vacation or focus on the numbers 1st? I appreciate your feedback. My goal here is of course to learn from your experiences

PSA going up
So after being on lupron/zytiga for 2 years and having a PSA of <0.1, I stopped ADT last Feb. It took until about September for my testosterone to start to reappear. My PSA went up to 0.1 in September so about the same time my testosterone came back. I just got my results back and it is up to 0.2.

Suprecur not working and possible polyp
Hi everyone, just looking to see if anyone else has had any issues with suprecur not working for medicated fet and uncertainty around polyps. In January I started suprecur and estradiol three times a day from day 2. At the scan (day 13) it looked like a follicle had grown and possible cyst so I had

Guillain-Barré Syndrome after PCa Diagnosis... Anyone?
No, because men make most of their estrogen from aromatization ot
testosterone
[T] to
estradiol
[E2] (and androstenedione to estrone). Most men on ADT do not have enough estradiol for basic bone health (& should consider an add-back low-dose E2 patch.)

Sex drive
I’m struggling coming to some sort of terms with my sex drive So a bit of a long story here so bare with me: I lost my virginity at 14 and pretty much never stopped from there! I joined the army at 16 and as what was the social normal in that environment, we would be out drinking 5/6 nights a week either

Muscle pain, fatigue, stiffness etc
Im a 41 year old male 6'3" tall. TT from cancer in Oct 2015 at about 35 years old. Ever since I have not been right. I have gained weight ever since. From 18-35 i bounced between 200-220.. which was all diet related. I could easily lay off of junk and walk and lose the weight back to normal even dipping

SBRT or Lu-PSMA for Oligometastatic HSPC? How about Both?
Here is a personal update about my case. I have been doing follow up PSMA PET scans of pelvic lymph nodes in left pelvis since that region was treated with EBRT in late 2019. PSA dropped from 0.28 to 0.14 following treatment and drifted lower but never undetectable. I have been off of ADT and using cyclic

Does PSADT calculation make sense when testosterone is increasing
During ADT break PSA increases as testosterone increases. How relevant calculation of PSADT is when testosterone is increasing?

Alternatives to the pill for managing pcos?
Hi, I’m 26 and I was diagnosed with pcos in December 2021, I have high testosterone, high prolactin and multiple follicles on my ovaries. This was confirmed privately and I was referred back to my GP who keeps pushing for me to go on the pill. I was on the pill for 6 years until July last year when
