Teva ingredients in Ramipril 5mg for hypertension, anyone?
Does anyone take medication for hypertension? I was recently given Teva brand Ramipril and after a few days the symptoms I get when I used to have Teva levo, reared their ugly heads. I have tried to find the ingredients of the Teva Ramipril to see if it contains fillers the same as in the levothyroxine

Up-date re: BP Medication Journey
5th (and hopefully last) blood pressure medication! Losartan gave me a very nasty side effect, after just 2 days my lips and face were swollen looked like I’d had an overdose of Botox and fillers!! Rang GP told to stop immediately. After 2 days to clear it from my blood stream I’m now on Bendroflumethiazide

Finished radiation
45 treatments. IMRT. Not much in the way of side effects. Bit of an occasional mild burning sensation during urination. The hardest part was hitting the facility with a full bladder and an empty rectum at 11:00 am every day. I'll get PSA and testosterone test in a couple of weeks.

Stage 4 initial recommendation Docetaxel and ADT
MD Anderson recommends docetaxel and ADT with primary site radiation after. I see there's some data of maintaining better control with early chemo, but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced it. My urologist recommended ADT and IMRT to all sites. I'm inclined to have more faith in MD Anderson

"Prostate cancer lives as it is born" question (Radiation resistance)
After reading this article years ago, I always wondered about my situation. My gleason is/way 4+3 (95% - 4) so basically gleason 8. My psa started to elevate in 2015 a a faster rate, when my PSA was at 10, I had IMRT and high dose brachytherapy. Two months later my PSA was down to 5, then I felt really

2nd radiation potential
Wondering if you can take another round of radiation? Had 80gy of pelvic and prostate bed rad 4 yrs ago. Latest PSMA scan shows several significant lymph nodes along each sidewall of pelvis. Been on systematic treatment Lupron for 2+ years. Could IMRT or Proton target just the large lymph nodes

New paper showing relationship between TSH and lipid levels with TSH in the reference range
This paper links TSH and lipid levels. it indicates that as TSH rises, so this expression of potential problems increases also. It obviously has implications for those above 4.2 in TSH, ie subclinical hypothyroids from 4-10.

What Action Should I Take?
What I’ve been learning lately is leaving me uncertain of my path, both prescribed and my role. I seek the input and experience I know is here, which I’ve been most grateful for. After having competed a clinical trial in September for my 4+3 with ECE and SVI, 1 lymph node T3B disease after RP in 2019

Can prostate still bleed after Radiation Treatments (HDRBT and IMRT)?
I remember reading that prostate becomes hard as a rock once fried by HDRBT and IMRT, if this is accurate, can it still bleed? Does it shed any tissue or fiber that comes out through urination?
