Is there a link between hemangiomas and Hughes Syndrome.
Hi, I have many autoimmune diseases as well as triple positive APs. Spinal scans have shown five hemangiomas on my spine. Another appeared on my trunk when I were in my teens and was surgically removed. Many smaller one's over the years have appeared on my scalp, face, chest and trunk. Does anyone

Ex NAFLD club
HiI want to form a club of ex NAFLD sufferers. You would have to achieved a clear diagnosis, 'no fibrosis' no fat infiltration. Of course we would have a club tie and big ourselves up why not? But we would also unashamedly promote the healthy diet and exercise that can conquer this dreadful insiduous

Should I undergo Triplet therapy?
Was diagnosed with stage-4 prostrate cancer with metastasis to lymph nodes and bones in April 2024. PSA was 400 when diagnosed and it shot up to 700 in a month. Started with Lupron and Nubeqa. PSA has come down to 8 in 2 months. Next PSA test (after 3rd month) is tomorrow. My Oncologist wants to

adrenal insufficiency and reduced renal function
hi, I am now on 3.5mg of prednisolone and suffering with some symptoms of adrenals struggling. I am experiencing fatigue and some tummy symptoms, occasional diarrhoea and quite often nausea.

An interview with 2 PCa MO's -- excellent for learning how they think and treatment tools as of July 2024. I highly recommend viewing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NqT9z1c8aw&t=2332s

PSMA scans-any update?
Saw this link this morning. Any update on this research or trials? Kinda describes my situation: after surgery and radiation PSA climbing. PSMA showed metastatic lymph nodes. Rather than watch and wait, they were radiated. PSA now seems to have dropped. Thanks. https://youtu.be/usXbPe_1YYc?si=cZB8L4YZ7y0w7qSJ

Kidney function and hypothyroidism?
My hypothyroidism was finally acknowledged six weeks ago. I've been on 50mcg daily. I've just had the first blood test since starting treatment. My fT4 has 'risen' from 8.8% to 9.3%. My TSH has dropped below 1 (0.7) for the first time according to blood tests going back to 2007. I'm a bit disappointed

Hi, I'm currently being investigated for Crohn's. I've had bowel issues for over 20 years and always been told it's IBS. Anyway three years ago, I had my gallbladder removed and my symptoms went in to overload mode. My calprotectin levels were in the hundreds. Since then I've had three colonoscopies

ADT reduced Zytiga and PCa variants
Been on Zytiga over a year, taken with Xgeva and Lupron. During the two pill test period of Zytiga, no food - 2hrs and + 1hr, my T and PSA became undetectable. Convinced the powers to continue with 2 pills to possibly reduce side effects and prolong effectiveness. T and PSA undetectable after a year

Lupus AND lyme disease?
Any lupus warriors here who have had Lyme disease and if so can you share your experience? I have sle and am on methotrexate, hydroxycloriquine and prednisolone— I went on a backpacking trip 4 weeks ago and ended up with a bite that developed into a bullseye rash. Before I knew what it was I started

PSA 1.175 Down from 21, 6 weeks ago. Is this good ?
After 6 weeks only on orgovyx my PSA has dropped to 1.175 from 21 and testosterone to 25 from 400. Are these numbers ok ? I read many here say their testosterone numbers are much lower - in single digits. Hence I am wondering if I should switch to Firmagon and see if they drop more. Do testosterone

PSA rising after salvage RT. What next?
My PSA is low but on the rise. <.006 in January and .042 now. I'm not on ADT. See bio for history. I hate to stand on the sidelines and watch it rise. Is there something I can do, or do I have to wait until PSA rises then have a scan? What is SOC? Your comments are appreciated.
