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.

No Success with Renadyl for me....
Hello: Just wanted to post my experience with taking Renadyl. First, my Nephrologist never recommended it and I wondered why? Of course, if this did work for me, he couldn't recommend dialysis or a transplant and make money from it. A Renal Dietitian did recommend it. I tried Renadyl for six months but

Thyroidectomy for Graves Disease
I’ve learned so much about Grave’s disease and TED here. This popped up on Medscape today: https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/1001236? Know Your Options: Thyroidectomy for Graves Disease. It’s lengthy, and a pretty good discussion of options, including their frustration that they are only treating

Cortisol help please
Been feeling really tired for about 6 months and trying to work out why. The last thing I had added before this was testosterone to existing HRT, so I stopped that again about 4 months ago, so not an effect of that now. I take T3 only, have not changed dose for some time and my results are towards top

The dilemma of hypoalbuminemia
Hello everyone, I have a history of MPN for many years, I have noticed that my liver protein, total protein, albumin, and prealbumin levels are all frighteningly low in routine medical examinations. I even suspect that my C-reactive protein levels are low even when I am in an inflammatory state. Low
