Best UK substitue for US Synthroid
Hi, I lived in the US for over 20 years and was prescribed Synthroid for underactive Thyroid. I found that the generic levothyroxine brand was not effective. I have moved back to the UK and would like to find a brand that is as close to Synthroid as possible. Would appreciate any recomendations.

Psa doubled in less than a month

Hi everyone, I'm a 59 year old male. I have high blood pressure and diabetes. A few years ago my GP said that I was dehydrated and need to drink more water. Didn't look at my test results other than to keep taking my meds for high blood pressure and diabetes. Fast forward to around 6 months ago I

Flying whilst having an episode of AF
Morning This is my first post on this forum but I have found it really resssuring. I just wondered whether people had been on a flight whilst having an episode of AF? I am paroxysmal at the moment but have found that my episodes are lasting at least 2 days and then only getting 1 day respite before

Horrible way to start 2024
😞I was picking up something from the floor and as I turned around to put it back down, I felt a weird, constricted (knot) feeling in my upper tummy and chest. It felt strange in my throat too. I placed my fingers on the carotid artery and this is what I felt: beat, beat, beat, two quick beats, then

Just had My Monthly Injection of Firmagon Monthly Labs PSA is Up <0.06 to 0.09
That’s pretty modest. I’m assuming I will wait till next month to see if it goes down. Kind of stressed with this new diverticulitis and blood bowel thing AND Moving. Got results of psa after I saw My Medical Oncologist so haven’t discussed modest jump. Even with bleeding from rectum the gastroenterologist

The Epidemiology of Parkinson's Disease
I live in the Red River Valley - a neurodegenerative disease hot spot. This isn't where I was poisoned, it's where we landed after I got sick. I had to be transferred by ambulance to a different hospital system in May - there are specially trained teams for patients with ALS due to respiratory failure

Opioids can cause adrenal insufficiency
Hi everyone, It appears that opioids can cause adrenal insufficiency. This is something I have not seen mentioned here. Does anyone know about this? Here are a few articles. I think this has relevance to anyone trying to taper through the lower doses of pred if they are taking opioids for pain or any

I got some doubts about the know-how of my oncologist
I met with my oncologist last Friday and either I am confused or she is. I am open for both scenario. :) This post is sort of a follow-up on another I did back in August: https://healthunlocked.com/advanced-prostate-cancer/posts/149892314/need-help-in-understanding-psa-level-recurrence-after-treatment

Ectopics scaring me, lasting longer than usual.
This past week, for 3 days, I had almost continuous ectopics and for the first time, they even lasted all night which really scared me. I went to the A&E, the ECG was "normal" but during the 4 hours I was there, the telemetry did pick up ectopics. The doctor said there was nothing to raise a red flag

Prostate cancer but normal PSA?
HI All. I had my first ever PSA at the age of 62 and it came in at over 26. I took a repeat and it came in at 25, then a week later I took another and it was 29. I had a biopsy that came back positive (cancer in 11 of 12 samples) and even though both my CT and bone. However, they indicated that since

longer episodes of afib
hi,I guess I'd like to have opinions on longer episodes of afib, like 10 + days or longer. apart from the obvious actions such as keeping one's blood thin and resistant to clotting by either utilizing drugs or alternative blood thinning agents, is there anything else that one should consider, such as
