Why would my TSH remain out of range if my T4 and T3 is dropping after meds increase? Please can you advise?
Hello , I thought that if my thyroid had changed recently that TSH would go up as my T4 and T3 have dropped down (DIO2+ with Hashi's) but this doesnt seem to be the case. I dont understand ?Feeling lousier if thats possible. All bloods taken at same AM time with same abstaining protocol re Biotin. These

Very slow start getting treatment and diagnosis
Hi everyone, My dad went to the doctor recently and discovered he has a psa of 255. His doctor ordered him a psma pet scan for a week later which was supposed to be today. He shows up and Kaiser cancelled the scan. They told me it happens a lot that radiology appointments need to be cancelled (? Not

Need to make a decision and I’m absolutely frozen.
[I’m 58 and was diagnosed 7 weeks ago with Gleason 4+3, (9 of 16 cores positive, only two had 4+3. A few 3+4’s and the rest were either 3+3 or negative). Perineural invasion on both sides. Decipher score .88 showing Luminal B Proliferating cells. No spread shown on MRI]. I have been around the gamut

Could increased anxiety be too much T3?
4 weeks ago, the endo reduced my levo from 100mcg/75mcg on alternate days to 75mcg. At the same time, she increased my t3 from 15mcg daily to 20mcg. Think she wanted to see my tsh increase because it was under range. Anyway, I’m on holiday atm and my anxiety is terrible and I’m shaky and emotional. Just

Guidelines
Hi I'm wondering if there are guidelines in the UK regarding TSH numbers by which a doctor is advised treatment should be an option? I did my first private blood test in 2017 and the doctors remarks were to see my GP regarding treatment for an underactive thyroid. I was so pleased to finally have clarification

CT3M works thank you Paul Robinson
It took me 8 years to get a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s ultimately via a private Endo and private blood tests as my GP was clueless. After a Hemi-T and with a TSH of 50 the NHS prescribed Levo. As I continued to feel rough I went back to my Endo and I tried NDT which also didn’t work as still tired, depressed

Can the T3 within NDT elevate AM cortisol?And not be best thyroid med for me?
Good Morning. Is it possible that the NDT within the Armour I am taking is elevating my AM cortisol? Looking back my AM cortisol has been up about 3 years on and off. But at the moment I feel shaky inside , very weak quads and hamstrings, very poor energy ,worse than ever. I currently take 1 1/4

Testosterone post ADT
My t level is coming back very slowly following salvage radiation + 6 months ADT. I’m 60 years old and after nearly 18 months still have difficulty gaining muscle mass and losing this gut. The good news is my PSA is still undetectable. Any suggestions?

Am I high risk?
Im now getting confused with all these terms. See my bio. So 1 week into my EBRT, my RO stopped in and asked why Im still on abi+pred. He said when scheduling EBRT I could stop it. I told him my MO said not to stop. In the beginning, my RO intended for me to do Lupron, and only 6 months abi+pred

Advice please. Not sure how to proceed.
I am 49 and have Hashimoto's and have spent the last two years trying to find a doctor to properly treat my thyroid and help get to the root of the thyroid dysfunction. Last fall I learned I have mold and I am going through a mold protocol. My compounded NDT has been adjusted in dribs and drabs over

Thoughts on ADT with sRT?
I've been told by several ROs that RT is more effective if given together with ADT, and I think that's pretty widely assumed to be true. I'm wondering, though, if what is seen to be a synergy may instead be only a statistical error. Temporary ADT can lead to permanent testosterone loss in up to 30%

Daily Cialis?
I have castrate-resistant MPC, on ADT for over 4 years and currently on chemo. My urologist and MO recommended I take 5mg Cialis daily to keep the blood flowing down there and prevent atrophy. I hate to take another drug, but will if it is beneficial. Does anyone take daily Cialis and are there any side

Docetaxel efficacy
Hi All Three months after finishing docetaxel my husband’s PSA has risen from 0.3 to 3.4, which the oncologist tells us indicates that the cancer cells are active again, although he’s booked him for a PSMA PET scan to confirm this. We were hoping for at least a year without the need for any more treatment

My Dad Stage 4 Pca - MO happy to settle for PSA 30, as its not 'curative'!
Hello again everyone! Posted before but do not know how to attach this to my previous post. March 22 - PSA 1200 diagnosed metastatic hormone sensitive Pca. Mets to pelvis, ribs and nodes. Started ADT August 22 - 1st line Docetaxel - ITU admission drug induced pnemonitis. [i]Chemo no longer an option

Pluvicto after long time androgen deprivation therapy
Hello warriors, the more I read, the more I have a feeling, that chances of great response to Pluvicto / LU-177 are rather slim after being on ADT for years. It certainly seems the case for castration-sensitive PC, not sure about castration-resistant PC. [i]Continuous long-term ADT significantly

Is surgery usually the only option?
Hi, I have a history of Endo and possible Adenomyosis - previously had cysts and lesions removed during laparoscopy (not sure if it was ablation or excision - it was over 10 years ago & I was quite uninformed at the time). I am approaching menopause age (no sign yet) - I was hoping this would alleviate

looking for advice.
My husband Martin was diagnosed in 2019 with prostate cancer. Gleason score 7 (3+4) Biopsy showed 12 out of 16 cores. In June 2019 he had Robotic surgery. We were told everything went very well. His PSA dropped to <0.05. This lasted until September 2020 when his PSA started to increase 0.46. And continued

ADT "vacation" terminology questions
I see a lot of posters here who say they do ADT "vacations." Are there any circumstances when NCCN SoC indicate cessation or interruption of ADT and abi? The term "vacation" implies an inevitable return to ADT. Do you wait for rising PSA or a fixed time to go by? What about when one has oligometastatic

Update #6 Clear Decks
Hi all 👋 Continuing on from my previous post here - https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/149372691/update-5-back-to-front I am officially bareback… 😬 but don’t worry, it’s not for long. Phase 1 of the plan now begins! It’s taken me about 5/6 weeks, but I have weaned down slowly from 2.5 grains
