I really don't know where to start with all this as it is a bit confusing and complex. 20 years ago i was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and i was prescribed Levothyroxine and my health rapidly declined. I spent 6 years housebound as i was so poorly and despite may trips to the GP and numerous tests i

Cancelled cycle
Hi everyone, just wanted to see if anyone had experienced a cycle cancellation due to the risk of OHSS. After 8 days of stimulation, I've been told that my cycle had to be cancelled as too many follicles have been developing (29 were seen on the scan) and my estrogen levels were way too high (3,500

Does anyone else over 60 with Glaucoma pay for eye lubrication in the UK ?
Apparently North East Essex patients have to pay for eye lubricants, also some areas of Somerset. Does anyone else ? It would be very useful to know. HRT now only costs £20 a year available to all women (probably only needed for a few years), so why not all Gaucoma medications ? Is lifetime conservation

Why has my TSH increased after several years of taking the same dose of Thyroxine?
Background - following RI treatment for an overactive thyroid I have been taking 75mcg Levothyroxine daily since 2015. At that time the consultant endocrinologist said that I should aim for a TSH of around 2. I have annual blood tests and the previous two years the readings have been 2.7 and 2.9

severe neck pain
I’m a couple of months in on eligard,abiraterone and prednisone(5mg). Mercifully I’m relatively SE free at this point but know it’s early…..what I DO have after the first few weeks is a chronically stiff neck that makes it impossible to move my head to the right…..Wondering if anyone has ever heard of

PROTACs: another technique to help with mCRPC
I always wondered, if these protein degraders can basically destroy AR receptors, hence overcome both castration resistance and making the cells refractory to androgens...wouldn't it be useless to continue with ADT? Oh well... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0753332222015013

Acupuncture for bladder issues
We have been trying everything over the past 7 years for our son who has dysfunctional voiding. Currently Solifenicin and TENS from the consultant. We asked if we could try acupuncture if TENS has no impact. Has anyone been down this route - or anything else not NHS standard? We feel we have tried

3,100 PSA!
After two (2) Pluvicto infusions, my PSA went from 2,000. to 3,000. I haven't had any hormone treatments for approximately six months, and was subsequently told my Dr. should have kept me on Standard of Care (SoC) right through Pluvicto. Q1: Anyone out there know of any options open to me in this

PSA of <0.1 undetectable?
I am on ADT, lupron and Zytiga, at Kaiser Oakland. My latest PSA came back as <0.1. My MO sent me a message with the results: "congratulations, great news, your PSA is undetectable!" I thought undetectable was 0.01, is it more likely she misread the number or that the lab used by Kaiser only reports

BBB opening with focused ultrasound in nonhuman primates and Parkinson’s disease patients:
This is pretty amazing stuff. They can now briefly open select spots in the brain barrier using focused ultrasound and deliver larger particles like gene therapy (in microbubbles). So it would allow for minimally invasive, early treatment of neurological disorders. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126

Recovery and a balanced lifestyle - fun is as important as exercise
Forgive me if I am a little old-fashioned but I trained in occupational therapy many years ago, when emotional and cognitive well-being were considered as important as exercise in recovery from both acute and chronic illnesses. I notice on this forum and also the AF forum that people talk very freely
