Tinnitus and metformin
Hello, I have had tinnitus in the form of a hissing sound in both ears since January 2020. I thought I was coping with it OK, it had essentially become background noise but in the past 5 weeks it has gotten considerably louder which coincides with taking metform for diabetes at two tablets per day, prior

One Year Post Diagnosis
I was diagnosed with Stage 4 ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate in late October 2020. After initially being on Eligard for 4 months my PSA had dropped to around 2.0, and the Oncologist was happy. My next PSA test after a further 4 months which included a continuation of Eligard and 25 radiation treatments

Raised liver enzymes
I had a total thyroidectomy following it being enlarged and covered in cysts in August 2018 - blood tests also showed my thyroid levels were falling out of range. This followed a partial thyroidectomy for the same reason in 1994. 10 months after the 2018 surgery, so by mid 2019, my thyroid levels balanced

Neuroprotective effect of rapamycin against Parkinson's disease in mice - 2018 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30693687/
Conclusions: Rapamycin inhibits the activation of mTOR pathway, which contributes to protect against the loss of dopaminergic neurons and provide behavioral improvements in mice with Parkinson's disease. These results are partially related to the ability of rapamycin in inducing autophagy and reducing

Metformin
I am on the maximum dose of Metformin. I find the laxative, breathing and shivering side-effects to be debilitating. My diabetes nurse is unwilling to change to an alternative so I have booked to see my GP. She said I wasn't drinking enough water but I am drinking 3 pints a day. I am just flushing it

New member looking for advice
EDIT 2: Found New blood test where TSH is now up to 5.63 (only 3 months distance from previous test which showed 4.5!) FT4 was 16 however which is within range. But also showed MCH, MCHC and MCV borderline which could be related to iron deficient anaemia apparently. Test pic below. EDIT: oh wow! This
