Best way to take NDT
Hello, today is my first day taking NDT. I was on a T4/T3 combo for the last two years. I usually chewed my meds (T4, T3) and tried to grind them as much as possible with my teeth before drinking a glass of water. What is the best way to take NDT? Can I take it in the same way to ensure good absorption

Morning? or Bedtime?
Hello, I recently came across Dr. Childs on YouTube, and watched his video about why taking your thyroid medication (hypo) may be better at night just before bed. I've been taking mine for almost 30 yrs the moment I wake up in the morning, waiting an hour before eating, 2-4 hrs before any supplements

A-Dream iADT Protocol
It has been awhile since my last post. Short story is I responded well to the doublet therapy in Arasec (lupron+daro). MO believes there is some chance my M1B diagnosis at the start was incorrect (he refers to my case as 'discordant' - due to conflicting data - Gleason 6 but some spots lit up on

Why would my FT4 change?
Hi, My thyroid has been ok for some years now, I have generally felt quite well. A recent GP blood test flagged up that my FT4 is at the bottom of the range. I am currently taking 120mg of NDT, I was on 240mg for many years but was told I must reduce my dosage as my TSH was 0.05. I reduced the dosage

GP Coming - what to ask
having my annual review tomorrow and GP is coming to see me. Looking at all my past results I wonder, with them being up and down constantly, whether I am one of those whereby Levo no longer works for me and might be keeping me ill. Diagnosed back in 2005 and it's too far back to remember how I was

T4 keeps dipping and Endo says levels are still “good” (but I feel exhausted)
Hi all, I used to be on: -150mg of Levo And - 1.5 grains of ERFA NDT which was very suitable for years. My T4 would usually come out in between 18 to 20 pmol/L (range is 9.0 to 23.0 pmol/L), and my T3 whilst on the upper end of acceptable, would come out in between 4.6 and 6.5 pmol/L (range is

Walsh's Folly?
I posted earlier that I had to ask ChatGPt "who came up with the 'gasoline on a fire' characterization regarding the relationship of testosterone and prostate cancer" and that Chat GPT had answered -- Dr. Patrick Walsh -- (father of the radical prostatectomy.) In that post, discussion turned to Walsh's

Splitting NDT - SHBG and cortisol changes - help!
Hi all, I have started splitting my Armour dose, taking less in the morning and more in the afternoon. I had a test for ft3 ft4, but also checked cortisol and SHBG. I was so surprised. My ft4 is similar to where it was before splitting, my ft3 is a tad higher. SHBG went up from 62 to 79.9. Cortisol

Celebrex and Curcumin and Magnesium.
I recently received a question from a fellow warrior based on a comment I had made on an older post that he had started. The question was what I thought about Naproxen compered to Celebrex and I told him I had very limited experience with Naproxen. I then clicked on older posts about nsaids and prostate

"Gasoline" Source
I have been trying to find the source for the observation? that "Testosterone to prostate cancer is like gasoline on a fire". I finally asked Bing Copilot and ChatGPT-- who came up with the answer. Me: What is the source of the "gasoline on a fire" theory in prostate cancer? ChatGPT: Dr. Patrick

What comes after, what comes next?
I have posted a few times about my dad. Stage 4, mets to 8+ bones at time of diagnosis, PSA at 137 (10/22.)

ADT + Docetaxel
Am mCRPC and will be starting Docetaxel soon, after apparent failure of Zytiga. Would like to know if I should continue the ADT (zoladex), which I have tolerated well for 3 years. Most trial info I have found (STAMPEDE, CHAARTED) tests ADT alone vs ADT + Docetaxel, where the combination outcome is

Input on Timing of Initial ADT after RP/SRT Failed
After surgery and salvage radiation therapy (SRT) have failed, it appears I'm headed for androgen deprivation therapy.

Salvage options?
Hello again, I have a few more questions, to help my husband decide between surgery and brachyboost. For context, he is localized Gleason 9. (1) Is the course of salvage radiation after RP typically the same as it would have been if the initial treatment had been radiation therapy? Or would it require

If you are thinking of Travel - Go For It.
Hello everyone, We're midway through our 10-week holiday adventure, and it's been quite a journey so far! From Japan to Finland, Turkey, and now Italy, we've covered quite a bit of ground. Traveling alongside another couple, our time in Turkey stands out, where I took on the role of designated driver

Guess what? Your body has changed and will never be the same.
I recently read a post from a guy that stated he had muscle and stamina loss. The post and responses then went on in a very hand wringing way to ask and discuss things like, “should I eat whey”, “what about protein and in what form”, “I never eat or drink dairy products”. It then went on to lament all
