Diabetes under control - weh hey!
Today I had my 6 monthly diabetes check up, after having blood tests last week. I was diagnosed with type 2 about 7 years ago and for 5 or so years my sugar was all over the place, even with metformin. Then I started walking and watching my diet. I'm by no means a diet freak - I still have a slice of

Metformin for PCO not PCOS - is this right?
Hi lovely ladies, I had an appt with NHS gynae yesterday r.e infertility. I have been TTC for 14months, all blood tests normal, hysteroscopy normal, ultrasound scan normal apart from polycsistic ovaries. He has put me on the waiting list for a HSG as this is the final piece to the investigation puzzle

Here's an interesting question (I think) for the more technical members of this group. the three items listed on the title, have shown some evidence of anticancer activity, if not in real life conditions, at least in vitro experiments. these compounds come from very different sources, yet they do

Sudden increase in heart rate
After two failed cardioversions and two failed ablations, the third ablation finally got me back into normal sinus rhythm in March of this year. An ECG in June plus a 24 hour monitor, confirmed that NSR was 'normal'. As a consequence, my dosage of Bisoprolol was reduced from 2.5 mg twice daily to 2.5

Same symptoms
So I go for some bloodwork tomorrow. This is good because I'm having some of the same symptoms as before. I'm becoming heated again, retaining water and the scale is going up. Only 2 lbs but when I was losing it would flicker on a lower number than it settled on, now it flickers higher. I'm still having

Enzalutamide NFG* for me. Clinical trials beckon.
* NFG = No good. I finished up 9 cycles of docetaxal in July in a chemo-resistant state and started on Enzalutamide. Unfortunately Enza has done absolutely nothing. No impact on disease progression at all. I remain on Zolodex of course and MO added metformin and statins to my cocktail of drugs to

Here's my update at last. In August 2018 I finished Docetaxel chemotherapy (6 courses) while being on ADT. Below is a quick rundown from start till now. The initial PCa DX was done in March, 2018. Prior to it mostly unrecognized symptoms gradually increased over the course of 2-3 months included pain

Hello All, Today I take my father to his oncologist to discuss treatment options. He is already on Casodex and Lupron from his urologist and the oncologist mentioned chemo treatments but have yet to solidify official treatment plan. I have created a few beginner questions to go over with oncologist

Metformin
Anyone else on Metformin for PCOS? I've just started taking it (last Saturday) so coming to the end of Week 1 and I haven't lost a single pound! I've not gained either but I thought this was meant to help lose weight? I will say that I've not had the usual side effects everyone talks about, I'm constipated

Am I menopausal?
For the past few days, I’ve been having really bad hot flashes. I have been having an issue with sweating. I’m only 23 years of age and have type 2 diabetes that is controlled by taking metformin slow release.

Hello everyone. I was recently diagnosed as being diabetic. My doctor prescribesd Metformin 1 pill (500mg) with breakfast and 1 with dinner. Does Metformin affect the ability of a man to ejaculate? I take 2-3 20mg Viagra pills before sex. Prior to starting Metformin I could ejaculate twice per week
