Forum newbie looking for help
Good evening all, I’ve been lurking for a while and have finally got my numbers from my endo and wondered if you wouldn’t mind helping me make sense of them please? I saw my endo today and she said I have to have further tests into low cortisol levels - what could that mean? I was on 225mcg of Levo

Thumb pain
Thanks for the insight on hand pain. Have been on metformin since June. Was increased to 2000 mgrams a day. After 10 days back began to hurt severely. Cut back to 1000 a day. The back pain eased off. About 2 weeks ago my thumbs have developed quite a bit of pain. Was taking magnesium and potassium supplements

Metformin and early stage cll
Hi I just got diagnosed with cll and am at watch and wait stage - white blood count just come down from 40000 to 26000. Anyone any idea if metformin is helpful at this stage as a Dr friend mentioned it but as I'm in the UK the NHS (state) doctors don't believe in more unusual ways forward. Thank you!

Use of Rx drugs and botanical compounds to prevent chemo drug-resistance with Docetaxel.
Docetaxel is a common therapuetic used in advanced prostate cancers. There are some combinations you can ask your doctor about that will definitely and safely maximize its effects. Obviously we all all heard of radiation resistance but there is also such a thing as chemo drug-resistance. Countless research

PTEN and Mtor
I have read that PTEN loss inhibits AKT and mTOR which allows tumors to grow. Foundation One says that is you have PTEN loss you should consider Everolimus, and Temsirolimus because they are mTOR inhibitors. I put together last night that Metformin is now known to be a mTOR inhibitor "Metformin activates

Need some help.
I was wondering if anyone knows if Lisinopril can lower EGFR? I have a weird blood pressure problem in that my blood pressure goes very high only when I am standing up and walking around. Without meds it can go as high as 170/120 and is normally 140/110. But when I am seated, it can be absolutely normal

Obese T2 DM Vs Thin T2 DM
Are you Obese T2 or Thin and skinny T2?? I have been studying the Etiology & mechanism of Obese T2 Vs Thin/Skinny T2 since quite some time. I have accessed a lot of research papers/ studies on the subject. I find there is a lot of difference between the two and therefore the strategies to be followed

Low carb diets...???
I really need to find out more about this. A couple of days ago, I got my lab results back and they are clearly indicative of insulin resistance: fasting glucose 110 mg/dL (ref 70-105) and fasting insulin 18 uU/mL (ref 2.6-24.9; should be <5 according to several low carb forums I've visited). Anyway,

Labs back, would appreciate feedback!
So, I have had some labs back. I have been on Berberine 1500 mg daily (500x3) since 2015. Back then, it helped me lose 28 kilograms and have a normal BMI for the first time in years. I have since put it all back (the weight gain started after I was put on high doses of prednisolone last year - I took

Thyroid and other labs
I have been feeling hyperthyroid lately so have been decreasing Thyroid-S over several months, from 5 to 3 grains, without much symptom relief I might add. My latest labs from Sept 09 read as follows: TSH <0.01 mUI/L (0.35-4.5) free T4 ng/dL 0.7 (0.7-1.5) free T3 pg/mL 2.7 (1.6-3.2) I usually take Thyroid-S

T3 Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with an under active thyroid and Diabetes type 2. I'm currently taking Metformin and Levothyroxine but a friend has suggested I take T3 also. I cannot find it anyway so could somebody please suggest where I purchase this from or do I need to go back to the GP? Thanks

My daily drugs & drugish regimen
Metformin - 1,000mg time release - started this for pre-diabetes, it didn't seem to keep cancer from recurring OR maybe it kept the cancer from coming back worse - Metformin in cancer prevention and therapy Fenbendazole - 3x4gm weekly - Fenbendazole acts as a moderate microtubule destabilizing agent
