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

Cholesterol, Hypothyroidism, Statins
The issue of elevated cholesterol in those with undiagnosed/under medicated hypothyroidism used to be commonly known. Not so now, the information is out there but not sufficiently joined up and prominent in many doctors minds to be a frontline consideration. Thus we need to be well versed so we can

Lp(a) results are in ….
I’ve recently had bloods taken to test for FH and Lp(a) levels. I had a heart attack in 2022 at aged 51 and was started on a whole ton of medications afterwards including Atorvastatin 80mg and then a bit later adding in 10mg Ezetimibe. My LDL cholesterol has not been able to reach the target of 1.4

Plant Sterols
Has anyone found taking plant sterols have reduced their high cholesterol? My fasting blood test shows my LDL is 3.94. Dr insisting I take Atorvastatin. I like to try alternatives first.

PROSTOX Tests
Is Conventionally Fractionated Radiotherapy (CFRT) mentioned on https://mirakind.org/prostox-testing/ the same as Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)? Specifically, does the CFRT test indicate if I am at high or low risk for IMRT? If the result of SBRT test indicates high risk, can I opt for

MRI report shows enhancing bone lesion is noted involving the left sphenoid bone.
That’s from an MRI taken six weeks after 10 sessions of IMRT were completed for a surgically inoperable metastasis in my skull. Apparently this means the contrast agent shows increased blood flow or activity in the tumor. Does that sound normal to still have increased blood flow or activity six weeks

Lupron SEs - legs
Appreciate this forum and all whom post. I’m amidst 2-year course of Lupron and experiencing persistent leg pain, worst in both Achilles tendons and calves. Recent salvage IMRT, too. Thoughts on managing such SEs appreciated. Cheers.

Brachytherapy boost HDR vs LDR +/- ADT
A bit of my background: 50 years old, Gleason score of 4+3, a PSA of 11, decipher is low, and possible extracapsular extension. 1) I know what LDR and HDR do, but what are the differences in terms of their long-term side effects? 2) Should I include ADT for a better outcome and what percentage improvement

Cyberknife+IMRT combination treatment for High Risk PCa, that has spread to the seminal vesicle.
Has anyone done a cyberknife-imrt combination radiation treatment for prostate cancer? My PCa has spread to the Seminal Vesicle. So, instead of a planned 5 session cyberknife treatment to the prostate only ( when the PCa was thought to be confined to the prostate), my doc is putting me on 3 cyberknife

High cholesterol
I have recently signed up the Our Future Health programme. I was invited along for a blood test and a finger prick cholesterol test. The cholesterol result came back as 10.14 and I was told to go to my GP. I had a cholesterol blood test at my doctors surgery in July and it came back as 6.1. I thought
