QOL gone
Prostatectomy followed 8 months later with ADT and radiation. Mostly incontinent since. Always had overactive bladder before cancer. Urologist did cystoscope and said everything looked normal. Its been > 2 weeks and I am in constant misery. Bladder hurts and have strong feeling of needing to urinate

Surprising thyroid results
I was put on 2 grains of armour by a private thyroid doc, at that point I was feeling ok-ish on 50 Levo and 6 t3. I took 2 grains for 3.5 weeks and started to decrease as I was feeling rapidly and increasingly unwell. I also have a low cortisol output all day and this may have contributed to feeling

low cortisol
hello, I’ve repeatedly had lowish 9am cortisol (around 250ish mark) but passed SST. However, private endo has said he wants to trial a low dose of hydrocortisone to see if it helps my symptoms of chronic fatigue, headaches, muscle aches etc. etc. I’m nervous to trial a steroid when I don’t have Addison

Cortisol saliva test results - medichecks
Afternoon all. Got these results back this afternoon - the notes provided not very helpful as just say everything looks fine, no need to worry as morning and bedtime levels all good. 😏 What does <1.5 mean given all three apart from waking are at this level? Do I have low cortisol levels? Getting all

It is a similar question to many. where to buy? with lab results
I wont but vitamins Bit D antibodies here (as apart from folate) cannot produce methyl folate, B12, Vit D all midrange big (ferritin is always high so might get tested for iron overload), never ever any thyroid antibodies. I will just post the thyroid today, before covid on 3 grains NDT and 2 Grains

Cortisol help please
Been feeling really tired for about 6 months and trying to work out why. The last thing I had added before this was testosterone to existing HRT, so I stopped that again about 4 months ago, so not an effect of that now. I take T3 only, have not changed dose for some time and my results are towards top

T3 and cortisol issues?
hello, I could really use some help piecing my mess together. I’ll try to be brief but that may be difficult because there’s a lot to unpack. 2009 thyroidectomy for large goiter and hashimotos Lived comfortably on 150/175 mcgs of Levo until perimenopause. Around that time i developed severe anxiety

Why does Paul Robinson insist there’s no such thing as adrenal fatigue and T3 will fix low cortisol. It certainly hasn’t in my case .
I’m currently using armour thyroid at 2 grains and feel bloody awful. Same old same old symptoms I get when I try to increase Levo or Levo/t3. My adrenals suffer. I know it’s adrenals because I’ve been doing this for almost 5 years now. Really surprised with his info/advice which makes me doubt everything

Borderline/low cortisol child
Hello lovely people, I posted last week about my 9 year old daughter being diagnosed with autoimmune hypothyroidism. I received some great support from this community and wonder whether you could perhaps offer me some further wisdom please. It transpires that she also has a cortisol level that is just

Suppressed TSH and getting optimum on NDT
I'm being treated by a private thyroid Dr for hypothyroid, I'm on NDT Armour and I've been slowly titrating for 12 months from zero treatment. I couldn't get treatment on the NHS. My latest results show TSH at 0.01. My T4 and T3 are the highest they've ever been and I feel much better than I did last

Tweaking T3
Hello, Sorry to post yet again. I've gotten so much advice already and I will most probably have a go at the single dosing of T3 in the fall, but for now I have to make due with my split doses. I was feeling a bit off lately: increasing pain (back, leg, muscle, knee) in my right leg. Something that

Help interpreting results: Told TSH levels normal when they're higher than the normal range
Hi! A bit of background: I'm mid 30s & was diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism 2 years ago and my GP referred me to the consultant as I also developed a large goitre & have family history (my late Mum had hypothyroidism). Consultant told me I had Hashimotos & my TSH, T3, T4 & antibody levels were

Prednisone and fatigue
I realize this is just my experience and I don't know if there's any scientific data behind it but in case this might help someone I wanted to post it. I apparently have become castrate resistant and have restarted Abiraterone about 4 months ago. This is my second time I've been on Abi and this time

Possible Leukoplakia
Hi all.Hope your all doing really well this Tuesday. Yesterday I went to my Dentist for my routine check up and Polish and had the polish and clean first then during my check up the Dentist said you have a small pale (not white) on the inside of my cheek. She said it didn’t look sinister but said it
