HRT patches and Levothyroxine
hi everyone I am on 75mg of Levothyroxine and have also been taking Sertraline. This pushed my TSH levels open. Since stopping the Sertraline my levels have dropped but now I’m getting more hot flushes and aching joints and restless legs. My doctor had suggested HRT patches but I’m worried that these

I now know I’m in the 10% worst category for genomic results. 20% chance of Mets in 10 years 25% chance of death in 15. Not happy. It’s out of my hands. They will ADT me then prostate bed and lymph node radiation. I guess I kinda always knew. I’m assuming someone has determined these steps are required

after iADT and recurrence: SATURN trial
Upshot. Intense short term ADT and radiation therapy for "oligorecurrence" after iADT https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0302283824000587 The reason you have to like it is that it should not require new drug development and trials etc. I wonder if it would be applicable to oligorecurrence

Advice on medications
I have recently been prescribed Atorvastatin, a statin to help lower my chloresterol. I am on a slimming world diet which I have been on for a few years and lost a lot of weight. I mentioned this to my doctor and she couldn't understand why my chloresterol has gone higher. Neither do I. So she has put

How to convince a GP to prescribe estradiol patches?
I've been busy with ADT for almost 5 years and one of the most insidious SE has always been hot flushes. I find them quite debilitating as, when they hit (and that's often), I'm briefly incapable to concentrate/perform any task. After reading about some of you guys experiences with estradiol patches

Am I headed for Radiation
hello all. Wishing the best to everyone. Just a quick question that I think I know the answer to. After RP in June 2023 pathology was Gleason 4~3 with SVI, clear margins, lymph node dissection negative, prostate 30% involved. First PSA test all at quest was an ultra sensitive post prostatectomy test

Hypothyroid symptoms but normal test results
Thank you in advance for any insight. These are my test results, sourced from a private company - Randox. I would be hugely grateful for any help in interpreting these or my symptoms. I have experienced severe weight gain - which NOTHING will shift including weight loss drugs. I have had a hormonal

Wake up please and you will understand.
Last year I was a mess, my ocd hit high levels but alot of that was because I came off valium cold turkey and it gave me a massive physical and psychological major major battle, that breakdown taught me alot my friends and I hope this will serve you well. I suffered and still do at times when stressed

Chemo or no/not yet?
59 years old. Metastatic/high volume. PSA hit 366 before starting Abiraterone and Degarelix. Start Lupron next week. Negative on DNA test. Will see what PSA looks like next week after a month of ADT. My question chemo, no chemo or wait on chemo? Onco and Rad Onco both seemed to have a very soft attitude

Was there ever really a chance for a cure?
When I began the Stampede protocol 1 1/2 yrs ago, it was my understanding that two years of Zytiga/Prednisone and three years of Lupon with radiation to the pelvic area at the 7 mo - 1 yr mark gave a chance for a "cure" under my conditions (3+4 gleason, etc). Now, my non-medical view of things is convincing

Brain Fog or Dimentia?
Hey warriors! So how do you know if you have brain fog or the beginning of dementia? Is it possible to blame ADT and Zytiga? My husband has been on Ellegaard for five years and Zytiga for 2 1/2. Years, he seems to have a lot of memory issues lately, and I fear it’s only getting worse Any thoughts or

First time poster overwhelmed with symptoms and considering self-medicating with bovine adrenals & NDT. Asking for advice & recommendations
TLDR: First time poster diagnosed Hashimotos and POI, investigating IBS which is potentially also autoimmune cause. Fatigue, depression and anxiety are ruining my life. Low Adrenal Index Test results so considering self-medicating with Bovine Adrenals. High TSH and anti thyroid antibodies, but low-end-of-normal

I thought I would just post this from the gov.uk website because I have just a bit of struggle convincing our surgery that I was eligible, so maybe other people haven't been invited either.
