A week of withdrawal from running
Well Monday last week was the week we found out how well my shoulder had healed! In the words of the consultant it’s tried to heal it’s self but it has healed! After 6months it should have unified but it hasn’t! So now we are going to try ultrasound therapy for the next 3 - 6 months to get it to heal

Utrogeatan and Hashi-soybean lecithin issues?
Hi everyone, I recently started with bioidentixal HRt (oestrodose and Ultrogestan(progesterone). I have hashimotoes so do not eat soy or gluten. Having taken it for about a month I noticed the corners of my inner eyes red and inflamed which is what I get when I consume allergens. On researching I found

High Cholesterol and Hyperthyroidism
I have been diagnosed with high cholesterol 7.04 with my LDL being 5.2 My HDL and Triglyercerides are within range. My diet is very good except I eat good quality dairy and some red meat. I also exercise daily. I take Berberine and a fish oil daily. Diet only contributes about 10% of cholesterol

Blood pressure medication
Sorry to bother people I am suffering from bad brain fog (or maybe just stupidity ) but I need to go back on medication for high blood pressure and all I can recall is that calcium channel blockers are not suitable but cannot remember which tablets are OK. Any suggestions would be gratefully received

Erectile dysfunction meds and side effects
My husband is getting brachytherapy in September and then IG IMRT in October. He is currently on Orgovyx for month two and will be adding zytega next month. Good news is that his PSA has gone to 2 and Testosterone to 9 after a month on Firmagon so meds seem to be doing what are supposed to. Drs have

Pelvic floor exercise video removed.
I had a RP 5 years ago with recurrence - then had 72Gy of IMRT. After the RP with pelvic floor exercises, I had incontinence under control - just wearing 1 shield per day. But then after radiation I completely lost control. I go thru periods of intensely training and I still have hope. My problem is
