Brain fog query
Hi all, would you agree that if I didn't have brain fog and blurry vision prior to commencing levothyroxine and after taking cholesterol tabs it seems the brain fog has improved and I wear glasses a lot less , would that mean levo causes high cholesterol?? Or contributes to high cholesterol How many

PLEASE Explain These Findings To Me ?* Stunned & Confused.
Hello my friends. I have been on this "super healthy diet" for 2 years now. Completely changed ALL my eating habits to everything I was told to do. No Cheating at all. I go to have a full blood work checkup. I knew ALL my numbers just had to be great. But I was shocked !* It's like a bad dream. This

Gastropathy
When I posted does this point to cirrhosis. I had on there what my doctor back then 2009 found on my endoscopy esophagus normal. It shows chronic superficial gastritis with changes suggestive of reactive gastropathy. Does that mean portal hypertension? I read portal hypertension causes portal hypertension

Is drug treatment the only way to go?
Are my MO's doing the right thing? At 67, both Fox Chase and Moffit oncologists are of the same opinion that I should/can hold off starting any further treatment until doubling time is less than 6-9 months. Original PSA 7.4, Gleason 3+3, surgery 5/2007. Had slight PSA rise and had IMRT 3/2008. PSA still

CLL and Hyperbaric chamber
Hi Diagnosed in 2013 and on W&W but blood tests not so good and expecting to get some sort of treatment soon. Trying out using Hyperbaric Chamber, will do 20 sessions and then drop to 1 per week as advised so will be interesting to compare blood results before and after. Any body had similar experience

Am I Crazy???
Let me preface this post by saying that I’m one of those guys who values quality of life over longevity, within reason. I know this stance is very controversial on this forum, and so I will tread lightly. Almost all of you guys are fighting tooth and nail for your last breath, and I respect that.

K I S S, yes trying to keep it simple. A Lupron vacation after 2 yrs on & Abiraterone(250mg) & Prednisone 5mg? Yes or no?
Well, discussions with my med oncologist June 3rd did entail the possibility of stopping my Lupron 90 day injections this Sept. Notice I said possibility. 1. I've had two successful CT scans of my abdomen/Pelvis this year(primarily to detect my severe diverticulitis) both scans showed no 'cancer lesion

New study yields insights into chronic rejection after lung transplantation

High BP
My TSH is 0.69 fT4 10.6( 12-22). FT3 3.9(3.1 -6.8) I am having intermittent high blood pressure . Do you think a higher dose of NDT would help? I have been given blood pressure medication which I would rather not take!
