... and relax (hopefully)!
Long story ahead! It’s been a few weeks of ‘things’. In early November hubby complained his head was sore, which can mean all sorts since his stroke and not always being able to explain very well. Two days later he had a cluster of little blisters by his eye - shingles. A course of Aciclovar stopped

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

Metformin - 4th transfer
Hi all, I'm back ahead of my 4th transfer. 2 unsuccessful, 1 ending in MMC after 9 weeks (Heartbeat seen, all going well, other than bleeding). I have also had one previous natural miscarriage. I have been found to have insulin resistance following a blood test and have been prescribed Metformin.

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
