Lack of NDT?
Hi there, a couple of ladies I know who are prescribed NDT are being told that there's none available. Does anyone know if this is a nationwide problem and if it is, why this is happening? Thank you, Julie

Osteoporosis risk with suppressed TSH
Many of the endocrinologist I've encountered seem to be vexed with borderline sociopathy, lurking beneath grimacing, slightly tolerant demeanors. However, the last one seemed to be merely friendly and inept. Recent communication from current specialist: "Having a low TSH can increase your risk for heart

NDT dosing confusion, how to make it work?
Hi All, Trying to understand the NDT dosing and if it's working for me. They say 1 grain of Erfa is about 100 McG of levo. However, 1 grain only gives you 38 McG of T4. So if I was on 88 McG of levo before NDT and I now take 1 grain of NDT instead, I only get 38 McG of T4? How does the 1 grain equals

Future after Erleada/Lupron
I met with a new MO today for a second opinion. I've been taking Erleada/Lupron for almost four years with few side effects (for which I'm grateful). I'm aware that my results have been very good and I wasn't looking for advice regarding a change in my care....I just wanted to have a second doctor

Coming off Pramipexole
I'm a 65 year old female in Norfolk in the UK, with hereditary RLS for which I was prescribed X1 every evening 0.088mg Pramipexole some 10 (possibly?) years ago. A year ago I had a single mastectomy, am on Anastrazole oestrogen suppressant hormone treatment and a Calcium/D3 supplement for that, along

Low-dose Aspirin.
I imagine that the new aspirin study [JAMA (1)] will get a lot of media play, but I will post anyway. A previous study concluded that the only people who benefit from low-dose aspirin are those who have already experienced a cardiovascular event. For everyone else, the risks obliterate any benefit

Am I a poor converter?
I've just had my latest blood test results after starting 50mg Levothyroxine 6 weeks ago:TSH 1.65 (0.27-4.2) FT4 15.9 (12-22) 39% through range FT3 3.4 (3.1-6.8) 8% through range FT4:FT3 ratio is therefore 4.7. Just before starting Levothyroxine, my results were: TSH 5.88 FT4 12 FT3 3.44 FT4:FT3

Doing ok, o ignorance is bliss
Hello brothers. In 12 months of ADT vacatión (with no medication) my PSA has risen slowly but steadily, from . 2 to .9. Not sure weather to feel good or worry. Any advice?

Short of breath
On Orgovyx, Nubeqa and Megace for last three months. Completing 27 of 27 fractions of radiation tomorrow. I am short of breath most of the time. A walk up a flight of stairs leaves me gasping. I continue to workout including running (slower and shorter since radiation started), hiking and weights

Converting NDT and T3 to combo
I am currently on 20 mcg T3 and 150 mcg Thyroid—S daily. I have always bought my own medication as I didn't think I would manage to get T3 on NHS. I have just received a message to say they will give it to me so I'm over the moon. They also want me to ditch the Thyroid-S and replace with 100mcg Levo.

High TSH on high NDT dose
Hey, I'm feeling so confused. Any advice appreciated! I have used Thyrogold (NDT) to successfully treat my underactive thyroid (Hypothyroid with Hashimotos) for the last few years. Occasionally my dose needs altering slightly but generally it has remained stable on this medication. I am currently taking

Frustrated at endo's obsession with TSH when other results point in the opposite direction
I hope this isn't going to take too long to explain. And this is really a frustrated rant about the obsession with TSH. I went to see a private endo, as my hypo symptoms had not resolved on a daily dose of 150mcg T4 and a split dose of 40mcg T3, given to me by an NHS endo who was prepared to accept

If immediately stopping after two years taking Orgovyx how long before testosterone begins to rise?
I’ve heard that testosterone returns quicker if using Orgovyx compared to Lupron. But I also heard that the longer on any ADT the longer the recovery. Or maybe testosterone never recovers? What do you guys think question

Just had Psma-pet scan... Confused
My initial Axium pet scan nearly 2 years ago showed "innumerable" mets throughout musculoskeletal system, from head to knees... Understandably, my PSA at the time was 480. After 1 year on ADT and 8 months of Xtandi another Axium showed mets in calvarial region (skull), neck and clavicle no longer present

Finding Support Groups
I am 84 and diagnosed with PCa in 2014. I had a multi-specialty work up Sibley Hospital in Washington DC (Johns Hopkins staffed clinic). No mets found. I was given 1 option, External beam; 70 Gray treatment went smoothly with no SE. I was given one injection of Lupron prior to the radiation. PSA

Is this a "normal" reaction to NDT?
Hi All, I'm trying to take NDT instead of levo, on which I was for around 20 years before, mostly on 75 mcg. My TSH went out of balance back in October 2022 and between then and now it's been a massive struggle. I increase my T4 slightly (even by 12,5 mcg) and get heart palpitations (heart was checked
