Article : 'NHS doctors brushed off our condition as menopause – what we suffer from is far worse'
Article from the Mirror about women struggling to get a diagnosis of what turned out to be hyperparathyroidism. It takes many years. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/health/nhs-doctors-brushed-condition-menopause-33179607 Not the best medical/health-related article I've ever read, but isn't very long.

ACTH Stim test after stopping abiraterone & prednisone
Has anyone had an ACTH Stimulation test after stopping abiraterone and Prednisone to test for adrenal insufficiency? I ended 24 months of eligard, abiraterone, and Prednisone on June 4. My endocrinologist (who I had prior to prostate cancer) pushed me to have a cortisol test on June 6 even though I

MCAS and LEVOTHYROXINE Nightmare
MCAS AND MEDS MCAS strikes again I can't take tablet or liquid levothyroxine as I've had the worst histamine flare even at 25mcg. Been in bed 4 days now crashing headache, body pains, inflammation, dizziness, fatigue all from 1 tiny dose of 25mcg liquid levothyroxine. What can I do ? I desperately

Serum parathyroid hormone
Finally, after a year of the labs refusing to test Vit D, I finally had it tested, and as suspected, it was below the bottom of the scale - 23. So back on tablets and spray, and hopefully my leg muscles will start working again... The lab refusing to test has made me ill...grumble, grumble. Anyway

(Just recently back on 125mcg daily instead of eod as my moods were

Preconception Thyrotropin Levels and Thyroid Function at Early Gestation in Women With Hashimoto Thyroiditis
Of course, research is necessary. We can all make lots of assumptions, guesses, which turn out to be entirely wrong. But this paper does seem to endorse what many here have said. If you are going to become pregnant, that itself will tend to raise TSH levels. If you want to keep below any chosen TSH

Hyperparathyroidism and Bones
I had primary hyperthyroidism in 2014 with two adenomas removed. It's been a long time since I've had my PTH level checked. I was reading that you should have ongoing annual check-ups of calcium and PTH levels to detect any long-term changes or recurrence of hyperparathyroidism. I feel fine and don't

Could MCAS a possibility?
Hello everyone, I have been wondering for a while if I could have MACS. Last year I was diagnosed with a Raw Pecan allergy, borderline brazil and salami allergy through raw food skin to skin prick testing and given epi pens. My immunologist at the time did not want to risk it as I have asthma and

are CTx numbers supposed to be extremely under range while on prolia?
is that the point of anti resorptive? is P1NP supposed to be upper range on prolia, or lower range on prolia? my Mum's numbers are low. but the tests haven't been done for years, i don't think, and they were run within 3 months of prolia doses, so the ctx would be expected to be low? and Mum's

ASCO 2023 Poster: Androgen-deprivation therapy and risk of dementia in patients with prostate cancer:Clinical outcomes from real-world data.
Conclusion: This is the largest real-world study describing the association between ADT and the risk of dementia, including over 600 thousand prostate cancer patients. The risk of dementia was significantly higher in patients on ADT, with a 60% increased risk. The highest risk was witnessed with GnRH

Who is confused? My surgery or me?
I was asked by the GP to remind him, when I reached 3mg in my tapering, that I should have a synacthen test. I have now done so. However, I am being sent for an ACTH blood test Is this the same thing (I don't think so as I have not been asked to miss the steroid dose and there is no indication that

I am taking synthroid (50 mg) for about 15 years.......after doing my own research there is an effect on bone density. I am 77 and fell and broke my wrist and as I looked at my dexa chart, the bone density has gone down and I had osteoporosis. Synthroid can cause this decline (check on the manufacturer's

Do any of you have problems with your parathyroid glands? My calcium was slightly over range and PTH was 7.4 just over the higher end of range(7.2) I was wondering if there’s a connection with thyroid problems and parathyroid..I have graves.

An Enlightening Endocrine Adventure
After appeasing an endocrinologist worried about my suppressed TSH by a cunning lab trick -- withholding NDT for three days before going for the blood work -- I realized I needed to titrate up the dose. Many thanks to those who replied with their NDT experience. I cranked it up to nearly double what

Early 50s male, healthy till hypothyroidism my first few months experience of treatment
I don't usually share info on the internet, but as a lot of material out there is aimed at women or Americans (I mean no offence to either!) I thought I'd stay my experience so far. Diagnosis, what does it all mean, and treatment/first medications. DIAGNOSIS Late 2022 I saw a nurse as I was taking longer
