Gp visit!
hello all. I have only very recently started having irregular periods and decided to mention it to my doctor. I am 39 and have never had a problem with my periods. He turned around and said its all related to my thyroid being so low! I mentioned about tested foe hormones(dhea/estrogen etc) and he declined

Hip replacement surgery
Has anyone had hip replacement surgery with ET jak 2 , on hydroxy and aspirin? I'm due for this in a few weeks with a pre op assessment in 2 weeks time. Surgeon has been made aware of Et situation. I just wondered if anyone has encountered any problems or issues, or whether the procedure was straight

Diagnosis and menopause
So yesterday was the day I got my scan done by the gynecology consultant she was very good and explained everything. I have alot of blood flow to my uterus and I have adenomyosis present in the back wall of my uterus. Part of me was shocked as I didn't think I'd have it deep down but It was confirmed

No stamina
I am confident I have my thyroid hormones at right level and most of my symptoms are gone. I am slowly losing weight, alert, happy, skin is better. My arthritis plays up hence the inflammation but my main issue is lack of stamina. I can only really do one thing a day after which I am wiped out and need

Walsh's Folly?
I posted earlier that I had to ask ChatGPt "who came up with the 'gasoline on a fire' characterization regarding the relationship of testosterone and prostate cancer" and that Chat GPT had answered -- Dr. Patrick Walsh -- (father of the radical prostatectomy.) In that post, discussion turned to Walsh's

How long symptoms stay
hi I had 1 injection of Prostap end of sept and unfortunately I suffered with, headaches, insomnia, no appetite. I became really depressed and anxious as well. My dr said it works in your system 5/6 weeks and then stops and will start to leave my body. So I’m 4 weeks now past that. I’m just trying

Getting worse
I have been on gabapentin for several years and this was just beginning to be less effective when I had a hip replacement. My rls got very bad and my gp added in ropinerole 1mg which I take at 8.30pm. This means a great night but increasingly I am having symptoms in the afternoon and evening. Any advice

Blood results interpretation required
Hi there, I need help interpreting my results. My symptoms are brain fog, joint aches, lack of energy and anxiety. These have been with me all my life. They got better in 2022 when I started combination therapy. However, I do not think I have reached my optimum (whatever that is) because these symptoms

Vaginal soreness

Ovaries or no Ovaries
I'm 46 next week and have recently been diagnosed with a large fibroid approx 15cm x 10cm and also an ovarian cyst. Consultant has recommended an hysterectomy as I'm also having severe bleeding during my period and am very anaemic. Hysterectomy is also being recommended as my mother had breast cancer

Gasoline?
A question for anyone who has found an answer... From 2018, when diagnosed, I have been told by doctors, urologists and oncologists that; "Testosterone, in prostate cancer, is like gasoline on a fire!" When I first heard this it seemed dubious since what I "knew" about PCa was that young men with

Hi everyone. I went into heart failure directly after having the Pfizer jab. Turned out I had undiagnosed scarlet fever as a child. Had a mitral valve replacement as a result.Is anyone else struggling to come to terms with what has happened to them?

Afinitor +ESR1 mutation for the hive mind.
Hi I am starting Afinitor on Wednesday after a mixed scan a few weeks ago after 6 months on Orserdu. It suddenly dawned on me that Afinitor is combined with estrogen therapy, likely an AI. But doesn't the ESR1 mutation cause AI resistance? In which case does that make Afinitor less effective? I will
