Eight is enough?
Reflecting on this year, made me recall that old TV series. My own family is small. My wife and I live on a small farm where we nurture dozens of animal "children". We have one son, our most treasured gift; and, at 21, he is still finding his way in the world with a kind heart and a gentle nature that

Side effects after several weeks of taking losartan
On Losartan 50mg, for 8 weeks, had stomach pain but that's gone. Now feel fatigued and slightly dizzy. Can this occur after so many weeks?

MABs - Encouraging, but not really
Couple things…. 1. Has anyone taking Calquence received a MAB infusion? Waiting to hear from my Dr to confirm it’s safe and doesn’t cause any drug interactions. Seems unlikely, but I want to be certain. 2. Applied for a MAB infusion via the Stanford Health process and explained that, although I didn

Plant Sterols and Levothyroxine
Being hypothyroid my cholesterol levels have been quite high-last reading was 7, 2 years ago. Have been using a proactive margerine as don't want to go on statins. Has anyone had any success with plant sterol supplements? Are they tolerated with levothyroxine? Any anecdotal experiences would be appreciated

PET/PSMA scan results after 3rd LU-177. Should I go ahead with SBRT or complete 4th LU-177?
PSA Marker came down marginally from 0.227 to 0.202 . Results of PET/PSMA scan today compare with scan on May 2021: 1. The previously noted PSMA avid sclerotic bone metastases demonstrate interval resolution of PSMA uptake. The current scan shows multiple non-PSMA avid sclerotic bone lesions, which are

Proton therapy vs IMRT?
Looked at studies - seem inconclusive as to any advantage for one over other. Some indications PT may have less side effects, maybe? Local radiation folks (Seattle Cancer Care Alliance) say have seen slightly more rectal bleeding from PT. Thoughts?

Has anyone tried oxymorphone?
Hi, has anyone here tried oxymorphone for RLS? oxymorphone is similar to oxycodone but with much less sleeping difficulties in comparison with oxycodone. I have been doing extensive research for an opioid which exerts less sleeping difficulties because the oxycodone I am taking gives me severe insomnia
