Low T and bone growth
I’ve been on bicalutamide mono therapy Lupron vacation for 10 months. PSA remains <0.01 but T isn’t rising above 120. Presumably the PC in my SV remains senescent. My concern is if I get a dental implants and/or a knee replacement will my bones heal with the low T level? Thoughts? Experiences? Thanks

T3 and excessive thirst
Hi! I wondered if anyone has experienced unquenchable thirst after they were prescribed T3? My endo prescribed 20mcg alongside 150 levo and I started Tuesday week ago. Previously I had been on 175 levo. The first few days were fine but since then I literally cannot quench my thirst. I was also prescribed

going through peri menopause, had my last period in January this year
going through perimenopause & seem to have bouts of different symptoms like hot flashes etc, but over the past couple of weeks I’ve been feeling really tired, I know I wake on & off during the night most nights, but I just feel exhausted , would going on HRT help relieve this ? It’s impossible to get

Negative side effects of NDT/T3 with severe M.E. + Perimenopause
Has anyone else with severe M.E. found that beginning NDT & T3 triggered inflammation & perimenopause symptoms? I'm late 40's with severe M.E. (predominantly bedbound) + comorbidities, plus a recent Hashi's diagnosis. After 3 months of slowly increasing NDT -& adding in T3- my resting heart rate

Thyroidectomy and Patient response
This commentary in Clinical Thyroidology reviews a study which indicated that thyroidectomy is better than "adequate" T4 replacement in Hashimoto's, improving issues like fatigue etc. The authors do not understand but the answer is clear. In Hashimoto's with remaining active thyroid tissue, the situation

NSAIDS anyone ?
When I was diagnosed with RA in 1989 , along with other medication , I was given diclofenac as a NSAID . This was later changed to Meloxicam by my rheumatologist . Which I took daily until this year . Fast forward to May 2021 and I tripped on a step in the house and fell heavily onto my left hip

Neck/spine osteoarthritis pain
Hi, as a sufferer of osteoarthritis I’m hoping someone may be experiencing the same as myself and can offer some support. I’ve had a right hip replacement and will in time need my left hip doing plus probably my right one again too. I’ve also got osteoarthritis in my neck/spine and I’m sure it contributes

NAFLD recent bloods
Hi just had some bloods all LFT spot on. ALP which was raised when I had an abscess on my gallbladder and liver back below the upper limit. Platelets all normal as well. My ferittin is still high 480 (should be below 336) also my haemoglobin is too high probably due to replacement testoterone.

Third open heart surgery
Hi there, my partner has been diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis and will need a valve replacement soon. He has congenital heart disease and this will be his third open heart surgery. Has anyone here undergone multiple surgeries? How was it? There isn't much information online and I'm keen to know
