hi, I’ve now been on Levothyroxine 25 since last June. None of my symptoms have changed. GP has just increased it to 50 and said to retest in 8 weeks. I have been asking for increase for quite a while as my level was still in the upper range of normal last test I had in October . My levels had been

My son will be turning 4 this January and that in and of itself is great news. Nothing is scarier than having just given birth and not knowing what the future of your precious new child will hold, like simply living. my son was born with PUV and severe reflux bilaterally. Of course there was renal

After 2 years of ADT, I decided against continuing on that for life and to initiate iADT. Otherwise known as "taking a vacation".I am now 10 weeks without ADT, and my testosterone is already at 104. My questions this time are for others here who have had a similarly quick return of testosterone. I

The last time I was here was about 9 months ago. For a reference here is a link to a thread I posted in before. https://healthunlocked.com/my-ocd/posts/149552410/my-ocd-is-sabotaging-my-attempts-to-treat-my-anxiety-and-depression.?responses=149622964 After I was hospitalized for 10 days, I lost my

I had a nice breakthrough today. 😀 I collected all of the available data on the number of estrogen patches that the studies have used, and plotted the measured serum estradiol level versus total milligrams of estrogen used every week. I was pleasantly surprised when all five of the data points

After DX in November 2018 with Stage IV and Gleason of 5+4 and 4+5, and 5 years of ADT of Lupron (then Orgovyx), prednisone 5mg, and Zytiga 250mg with low fat breakfast, my PSA stayed stable at 0.4 or 0.5. At end of 2013, PSA started rising to latest value of 0.84. Had PSMA PET Scan March 5, 2024

I found this paper and thought I'll share. This is for patients with hashis, who are not yet on thyroid hormone replacement. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38243784/

Hi everyone and thanks for the lovely support in this group - it’s been a comfort reading all the previous posts. I’m doing my first HRT FET, and just wondering around what day of the cycle people’s transfers were? My plan says to take oestrogen from day 1, then have a scan on day 8, and that’s it

I see Buntanetap,Celeste light therapy and Cue1 as potentials. anyone have any thoughts? i dont know how much longer I can hang on.

Here are two plots comparing PSA values to Testosterone levels taken from a pair of large data sets. What is striking is the large amount of scatter in the individual data from both datasets, with factors of 2-6 X deviations from the average (or median) values. The upper plot has N = 255 data points

Hi, I'm 68 years old. Here are the key points in my story so far: In July 2023 a blood test showed a PSA value of 45. On September 26 2023, prostate MRI showed a dominant tumor in the prostate with extension into the right seminal vesicle. Also the fat plane between the rectum and prostate is lost

Here are comparisons of the Prostate Cancer Specific Mortality (PCSM) probability (%) for two different testosterone levels (Low-T and Normal-T) and four different Times After PSA Failure from the Kaplan-Meier plot previously posted. (Atkins 2018). The median testosterone for

Here are comparisons of the Prostate Cancer Specific Mortality (PCSM) probability (%) for two different testosterone levels (Low-T and Normal-T)and three different Times After PSA Failure from Atkins (2018). he median testosterone for the Low-T group is T = 162 ng/dL [120-236], and I assumed an average

An update from my last posts.I went to see my gp yesterday waited 2 weeks for a face to face appointment , I asked about HRT and was told at my age there would be to many risks and it would have any benifits to my health, also as I had to go to A&E on Monday funny turn at 4 am, gp said go to A&E, suspected

Hi all, I am looking to hear from real people (you folks on this forum) about your experiences for a bilateral oophorectomy. I have been suffering with debilitating endometriosis symptoms for more than a decade and on Monday March 4th I saw a consultant about my treatment steps. She was the surgeon

I posted previously on this long and tortuous journey to ( almost) a diagnosis. Almost because my concierge PCP gave me a heads up on the biopsy report which hasn’t been posted on my digital chart and I haven’t yet heard from my Urologist/ Onocologist. It’s been 4 mos since my annual checkup said my

So, I'm going on Medicare in April. I've enrolled in the Blue Cross Plan G Supplement plan and am now trying to decide which Part D plan to get for meds.
