Diet?
I now realise that many if not all, who have hypothyroidism, also have gut problems. When I first started trying to inform myself about all this, I got into a stalemate regarding diet - I’d always loved broccoli, cabbage, swede mash, kimchi etc, not to excess but whenever I felt like having them.

PMR/Prednisolone/Alendronic Acid
Thank you all for your posts and will now try to reduce even more slowly. !5 mg of Prednisolone was not enough, so have now increased to 17.5mg and are again keeping fingers crossed. Would welcome views on long term (nearly 5 years) usage of Alendronic acid (I am male 79 years old) as I think that in

Timings of NDT and iron supplements
Hi all, I'm struggling to maintain ferritin levels whilst also trying to adhere to the timings of iron supplements around my NDT and other vitamins. My ferritin is rarely higher than 20s (in the last ten years the highest it has been was 52 just once). I've been on NDT for a year and am gradually

CDK12 gene mutation
My husband continues to be hormone sensitive but Sept. 4, 2023 he developed intense and unrelenting pain in his right mandible. The oncologist and palliative care nurse prescribed morphine and dilaudid to help reduce the pain. These pain meds are helping although he can still feel pain and gets breakthrough

Just completed a whole gland TULSA procedure
This was salvage treatment after failure of SBRT by MRIdian in Mar 2020.PSA nadir after SBRT was 2.4 and it rose to 5.3 just 3 years later, when a PSMA scan showed 2 possible tumours within the gland. A subsequent biopsy confirmed local tumour recurrence with Gleason 4+4. Interventional radiotherapy

Gastric endo - help!
I haven’t posted in the longest time but really need some help. I have extensive disease requiring surgery, thought to be bowel involvement. MRI due in the next week.
