Heat or Light Therapy
Does anyone use Infrared heat or Red Light Therapy (RLT) and has it changed anything for you? I have not tried either one. I do use the sauna after each swim workout: ice cold shower, 15 min sauna, ice cold shower, sauna, shower. This really shocks my system and I feel that it is helpful to really

Struggling to get a definite diagnosis
I was originally diagnosed with PMR in May 2021 by a very helpful GP. All was well for the first few months but on reducing I hit a wall at 8mgs. When I went to see GP I was disappointed that she had moved on but not particularly worried. How wrong I was. Over the next few months I was told to increase

Insulin
Im reading about Insulin and diabetics are more prone to PCa. What's the consensus on insulin with peeps that already have PCa? Im now on insulin until I can stop L/Z/P, or change to another ADT.

9 years in the menopause
Hi, I’m new here and have a question. I’m now 58 and had my last period when I was 49. I have been suffering hot flushes ever since. My hair is very thin on top which I’m not sure if connected. I’m also taking steroids for another unrelated condition (PMR) I have never taken HRT due to it linked to

We are off to Mayo Phoenix tomorrow for three month post RARP check up.

Question please
I am 64 this year. I lost my Son who was killed in action when I was 49 and had my last period at 52. I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia but lately have had hot flushes and although I'm always exhausted I've felt even more so. It appears my blood tests were satisfactory. My Nurse Practitioner believes

HELP, PLEASE??!!
I just had a total knee replacement. For 3 years now buprenorphine has helped, but today I took hydromorphone for pain that my surgeon prescribed, Nexium that my family doctor recommended to take to keep the aspirin I have to take postop to keep from getting ulcers, and cyclobenzaprine.

ADT + darolutamide + docetaxel (ARASENS trial) has anyone tried it?
Hi people! My first update since the diagnosis. After less than one month of regrouping and ADT only (decapeptyl - triptotrelin, which got my PSA from 70 to 15), my MO decided to do the ARASENS trial triplet (with my full approval, I was going to propose him this protocol). Has anyone tried it?
