Some good news today On PSMA SCAN
Brief synopsis of the latest on me. I had a partial cryo-procedure about eight years ago. With 60% of a remaining prostate, my PSA remained stable at about four for approximately five years. When PSA started going up, I did an MRI on my prostate and they found nothing. So about three years ago I did

Concerns with Metformin
I am at Stage 4 CKD. I read in some posts the concern over Metformin. I am taking Janumet. What more should I know to determine if I should keep taking Janumet. It has kept my blood glucose in check while I have been eating more carbs (to replace some of the energy I have been losing by cutting back

Letrozole
First of all a happy new year to everyone, & may the year be as good as possible. I see my onc next week. I’ve been taking Letrozole since May 2017, & hope I can continue. I know there are drugs that can be taken with Letrozole as cancer treatment if necessary. I already take Metformin, as I’m diabetic

Combining P13K inhibitors with Keto diet for cancer.
I missed this when it was published in Nature in July 2019 by Lewis Cantley. Mouse study but shows the relationship between P13K inhibitors and how a very low carbohydrate or ketogenic diet can allow them to work against cancer. They also compared metformin to the keto diet in this regard. It is pertinent

Prescribing cascade
Although not directly applicable to PMR/GCA probably a lot of us may have this happen to us. Consider, for example, a man in his late seventies, fit and active, “routinely prescribed” (like so many of his age group) a cholesterol lowering statin. Two months later, he consults his doctor with muscular

Thanks for the informative information
Hello, I was diagnosed with PMR in August 2018, started on 15 mg pred, which worked like a dream. Been tapering ever since but have found it very difficult from 10 mg downwards. Now stuck on 7 for a good few weeks after having a really bad flare. That was when I, thankfully, found this forum, I had been

Good evening all, I’m a true newby! After 18 months of back and to, to the GP with shoulder pain, worsening depression and feeling lethargic I was made to feel that it was all in my head. I started to get a terrible headache and went for a private eye test. The optician was amazing and wrote a letter

Netfotmin and Mebendazole
Just became aware of taking Mebendazole a drug for hook worms etc..Also Metformin. Should these drugs be taken and advise your doctor that this is what you are doing?.

FDA investigating Metformin for Carcinogens
The investigation by the FDA of Metformin (probably the most investigated drug of all time given its long history for use with Type 2 diabetes) for the carcinogen NMDA is of some concern given the plethora of generic manufacturers of this drug, especially from India and China. NDMA or NMN is usually

baking soda for frequent urination after RT
I would like to know opinion of our members regarding use of baking soda for reducing frequent urination and burning feeling.....being well aware of snake oil beliefs. In my small experience, thinking well it may be snake oil, I was having every hour night urination with burning sensation after 20
