PSA rising. The trend is not my friend.
I'm in a pickle and would like to ask for your suggestions. The following is my PSA history. As you can see it is rising. The quandary is that those of us who have had radiation as our primary treatment still have a prostate in some form. My RO and urologist both said don't worry yet. We do get bounces

New here do you take Metformin and had no side effects?
I’m sensitive to medications but am considering taking Metformin... and was wondering how many have had a good experience with this medication? I’m type 2.

Is anyone else in a similar situation?
I am a 28 year old female and I reside in the US. I have been diagnosed as having stage 3 ckd as my creatinine levels are now up to 1.6 pushing my gfr to 45. Ultrasound was clear other than a small, simple cyst that was first found on a CT over a year ago and it hasn't changed in size. My 24 hour urine

STAMPEDE TRIAL K ARM METFORMIN PARTICIPANTS
The K Arm of the STAMPEDE TRIAL is looking at the effect on PSA, if any, of adding Metformin to ADT in non-diabetic PC men. I have seen a few posts on here from people who are taking part in that trial where the PSA seems to be coming / staying down, but I was wondering if there are a number of participants

Night sweats
Hallo, I am in constant AF and am on a great number of meds to help control it; these include: apixoban, digoxin, atorvastatin, ramipril, verapimil, metformin (diabetes) and levothyroxine (underactive thyroid). I am 76 years old next month and, based on hearsay and advice, decided against cardioversion

Testosterone level too high
I had my testosterone level checked. It currently is 12.3 ng/ml or 42.65 nmol/L or 1230 ng/dL. So its way too high. I am asymptomatic. Currently I am on hormone therapy with 50mg Bicalutamide per day and 20 mg Tamoxifen. Plus 850 mg Metformin. Any suggestions what is causing this testosterone level

Need some specific information
Has anyone developed a list of medications and supplements and specifically why we take these things. I read a lot of long explanations and studies but not one or two sentences with a backup study to support the statement (S). I take Metformin a long with many other drugs and supplements. Can't tell

Overmedicated/undermedicated?!

In December it was increased to 75mg after fasting bloods (it was around 17, ref range 12-22). Last week went to see

Hi! New to this Community
Hi Everyone! I have just joined this Community and am also in the Liver Community. I have had Type 2 Diaberes for at least 20 years - haven’t anything more than a feeling as to when first diagnosed. As usual, I suppose ?, it was controlled by diet moving on to Metformin. When I had my liver transplant

Possible Metformin side effects
I have PMR and been on Prednisolone for almost 5 years, currently reducing to 2mg. I was diagnosed with Tyoe 2 Diabetes and started in Metformin about 3 months ago. I have been feeling unwell lately, as well as dizzy and unsteady. Now I have abdominal pain, bloating, wind and a nasty episode of diarrhoea
