I want to give up. I have no energy to keep going.
Hi all, I've been suffering for the past many years. Since 2022 everything went downhill and I had to quit my job as I can't function. I'm 40 years old. I was tested for everything under the sun and everything is down to thyroid. I have Hashis. I have tried many med combos, everything fails on me. Recently

Grapefruit
Hello everyone Does anyone know if grapefruit juice interferes with T4/T3 uptake? I know if someone is on statins it has to be avoided I know to avoid Biotin before blood tests but is Nicotimamide ok? Finally has anyone successfully lowered their cholesterol without statins while on T4/T3, I really

A little update
Hi all, I just thought I'd give a little update as I've not posted here in about a year and just possibly my experience may be of interest. I am not in ANY way invalidating anyone else's condition or treatment, this is just my story. For years I have struggled with low mood, lacking 'oomph' in life.

Low Testosterone Linked With Mortality Risk in Aging Men - by Jeff Minerd , Contributing Writer, MedPage Today May 13, 2024
No way to know if this is applicable to those on ADT, but it would seem to be relevant for consideration. The highlighted portion is a useful guide on male sex hormone targets for those testing them. These results might also add support for Morgentaler's [i]"Saturation Model"[/i] for testosterone. Full

Has anyone had an ovarian cyst delay your ivf cycle? Looking for anyone to share their experiences, specifically how long did the cyst take to go away and what did you do to help it reduce? I’ve been doing down regulation for two weeks now, had my baseline scan last Friday 26/04 when I was suppose

estradiol cream
I know this was discussed 8 years ago but has it changed for the better regarding reducing the ADT SE? I am on ADT for 2 + years and going on Xtandti this month. I want to control the SE as best I can. Great diet and heavy exercise every day. Also stopped the Vit Cal & D.

Some advice on new lab results please
I am a 40 year old woman and have been feeling very weird lately. I was wondering if I entered perimenopause so I had a blood draw on 21st day of my cycle. I think my progesterone is low? estradiol: 110 ng/L progesteron: 9.13 microgram/L LH: 11.7 U/L FSH: 7.9 U/L (I am not on HRT)

Estradiol level before frozen transfer
Hi there My estradiol level before starting poi today is 1000. Is it too high for a frozen transfer? I’ve read somewhere that more than 500 would negatively affect implantation. My doctor isn’t concerned about it but I need some reassurance please 🙏🏻

Could I be harming my heart & vascular system with my consistently high BP, despite being on lots of cardiac and BP meds?
Despite being on the following list of meds I'm still getting BP spikes, with my weekly average being in the high 140's/80's and I'm getting angina, with related symptoms, weekly (although less intense since being on isosorbide mononitrate). I've been taking my BP for almost a year now and so I know

Location of Estrogen Patches matters.
These plots compare applying estrogen patches to a forearm or to the scrotum. Overall, the average serum estradiol concentration is
3-4 times
higher for scrotal application, compared to forearm application. This is particularly relevant to estrogen users who use gel, cream, or spray products

How to convince a GP to prescribe estradiol patches?
I've been busy with ADT for almost 5 years and one of the most insidious SE has always been hot flushes. I find them quite debilitating as, when they hit (and that's often), I'm briefly incapable to concentrate/perform any task. After reading about some of you guys experiences with estradiol patches
