Help Please! Need a Good Doctor.
Does anyone have any good experiences with a doctor that can look at the "whole picture" . I have issues with Thyroid, Adrenal Fatigue and Oestrogen Dominance. I am in the Surrey/Sussex/Berkshire/Hampshire area but willing to travel further if needed. Pretty desperate here, I couldn't pick up my 2

Have I developed "doctor phobia" or what...?!
Today I saw my new GP for a follow-up visit. My old one moved away and I stopped going to the practice for no particular reason. On Sept 6, during my first visit since July '17, my BP was slightly raised (170/92, heart rate 90). I was put on perindopril 5 mg daily and told to come back today. Interestingly

Does anyone have any info on endometriosis and peri menopause/menopause?
I am currently peri menopausal and I’m experiencing symptoms in relation to the lowering of oestrogen. I have not had a period for a year, I’ve had dry eyes, hair loss, forgetfulness, mind fog, emotional and low mood. My GP recommend St Johns Wort and isoflavon herbal supplements, which I’ve been on

Have I gone overactive?!
Can anyone please help with my latest results? I'm confused! I saw a gyne doctor the other day regarding pelvic pain and she said that it could be down to my thyroid being overactive. I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid in my early 20s, and Hashimoto's six years ago, but she thinks I've tipped

Hot Flushes
Hi, it's been a while since I posted, I have been following the advice given and support from members. I am still in what Drs call sub clinical Hashimotos Thyroiditis, still not being treated for it as my labs are all in range. My TSH goes between 3.39 to 6.03 currently it is 4.39. Same labs and ranges

Dutasteride and Tamoxifen (T->DHT blocker and SERM)
Are these contraindicated? I have prostate cancer and am doing cycles of casodex/dutasteride/zytiga, then estrogen patches/zytiga, then testosterone injections/dutasteride. Should Tamoxifen only be used during the estrogen patch/zytiga portion of the cycle? Thanks

Aromatase & CRPC cells
New study below [1]. ERα is the [u]alpha[/u] estrogen receptor [ER]. In healthy prostates it is found in stromal cells. ERbeta is found in healthy epithelial cells, but there is a switch to ERα as PCa develops. ERα promotes growth. Aromatase [CYP19A1] is the enzyme that converts testosterone [T] to

Fenbendazole Just Might be Working–Part 2
So, if it is working (see Part 1), my question is what would be the best course to follow when I am on ADT holiday waiting to see if PSA comes back (lupron due to wear off in November)? I take the view that if I am cured, some extra treatments are not a big deal, and, if I am not (more likely IMO),

BAT like therapy
I have G9, hormone sensitive prostate cancer. Had an RP in 12/2018. Estrogen therapy dropped my T down to zero. And my PSAs remained at zero. I did this for 5 months but stopped because of the side effects (felt great mentally but no libido and strength loss to the point that I wondered how long I could

BATlike therapy
My thought. Please critique this plan. I am not PrC (had RP in 12/2018 and PSAs have been zero since then). Gleason 9, one local lymph node, positive margin. This is my tentative plan (reduce risk of CrPc and increase libido for a little bit each year). 6 monthsBicalutamide, Dutasteride, Zytiga 2

Changing from the combined pill to POP
So I’ve been advised by my GP to consider changing from Lucette to a POP. She advised this as there is a history of breast cancer in the family and so thinks I shouldn’t have a pill with oestrogen in. I’m a little apprehensive about doing this, can anyone share their experience if they have done this

Tibolone HRT advice needed ! after a total hysterectomy due to Endometriosis
Hi , I had a total hysterectomy 7 weeks ago now due to Endometriosis. Previous to this I was on prostap and HRT patches for 18 months. Doctors just dont have time to spend talking there the various HRT treatments they just want you in and out was the same after my operation in hospital. No aftercare

How did you have access to estrogen patches if outside trial?
For those outside UK patch trial doing estrogen patches INSTEAD of ADT, how did you have access to the patches?
