Radiation PSA, Orgovyx, Bone density Update 2/18/24
Rouge clone radiation on 10/31/23 has PSA from 4.83 on 11/20/23 to 0.85 on 12/18. HOWEVER, PSA up to 1.48 on 1/29/24 then 2.48 on 2/15/24. Waiting MO response but anticipate PET scan, radiation and/or switch to Xtandi. Was hoping to ride the Zytiga therapy as long as possible but I may be there now.

Suboptimal Cortisol levels following Synacthen test
I’ve just turned 60 and used to be a sportsperson. I’ve been on predisolene for 5 1/2 years and unable to get below 5mg despite several slow attempts. My rheumy suggested a short synacthen test via Endo which was 8 months later. I barely function on 5mg with doing bare minimum, giving up my small flower

Pred dose post hip operation
Hi, and thank you in advance to all who have the patience to read this long story, and the kindness to offer advice: I have so many things going on at the moment! Currently, PMR seems like the least of my problems, and I’m hoping I can ride the other medical turmoil I’m in without it raising it’s head

Blood tests whilst pregnant
This is a question after reading posts+research. I understand there is a Def link between underactive thyroid/Hashimotos kicking off whilst pregnant+a link between Hashimotos+pre-eclampsia. Speaking from experience many years ago, for me this seems clear. So, just as mother's are checked re diabetes

free from psp
My husband is free from this horrible disease. He passed away 1/24/24 at 68. I miss him horribly but I’m so glad he’s not suffering anymore. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2019 and then later with PSP in 2020. The last 1 1/2 years was really tough and if it wasn’t for my kids, this forum and

Metastatic prostate cancer in the lungs
Radical prostatectomy in 2003 with PSA of 3.9. PSA slowly rose to .07 in 2023. PET scan in May, 2023 found nodules in my lungs with the largest being 1.4 cm. Needle biopsy identified it as metastatic adenocarcinoma from prostatic origin. 5 sessions of 50Gy cyberknife treatments on the 1.4 cm nodule

One month on alternative meds only
Three pluses and one negative. Breast met is gone, prostate shrunk to near normal size, nagalase dropped from 1.55 to 1.37 . The negative is PSA jumped from 14 to 22. Which is more accurate the nagalase test or the PSA?

Anyone know about Dr's or consultants prescribing metformin for endometriosis?
I recently got access to ALL my medical records from the consultants I had been referred to over the years and saw that in the past I had been prescribed metformin, altavita and amitryptaline at the same time by an endocrinologist. I presumed at the time it was for my underactive Thyroid and wasn't on

Methane dominant breath test - Aire 2
I purchased the FoodMarble Aire2 two weeks ago and have been logging meals and doing breath tests. Early days of course but most meals rarely go above 4 - except for one day when I experimented with 6 danish butter cookies and that scored a 6.7 after one hour! I notice that on all my readings that

Shingles Jab
I noted that Lupus sufferers over 50 were supposed to be eligible for the Shingrix jab. However, after requesting one from the Surgery the receptionist said no. I did recently get the over 75s Covid booster without asking, courtesy of my immune system, , which I thought over the top. However, as rashes

Could Someone Explain The TTGIgA Test Please?
Hello! I have recently had some blood tests done due to low vitamin B12 and long term issues with iron deficiency. My GP did some tests to rule out Celiacs as a cause, and I just wondered if somebody could explain the Tissu Transglutaminase IgA test please - my result came back at 0.4 (range 0-6.9) I

PSA rise
2 months ago my PSA was 20. I have had extensive screening done prior to starting a clinical trial on Tuesday. My PSA has gone up to 367 since then. CT scan showed no significant change and I had bone scan yesterday. Onco says it may just be increased activity of existing cancer cells and not necessarily
