"High-Fat" or "Healthy-Fat"
It's often said on HU that this approach should be called "Healthy-Fat". Though the fats we eat should be healthy, I think "Low-Carb High-Fat" is the right name. A name doesn't need to explain every tiny aspect of the plan, just enough to show what it is. Once you cut the carbs, you either go low calorie

Aristo Levothyroxine
Has anyone tried Aristo Levo please, any thoughts? I’m looking for an alternative to Accord and something that doesn’t contain mannitol or acacia.

Levothyroxine and Oxycodone
Hi has anyone taken both the above drugs without any interactions. Waiting on a hips replacement and the leaflet in the Oxycodone says do not take if you have a thyroid problem. Doctor has prescribed though.

Well, that escalated quickly...
Hey everyone. I joined here a few weeks ago having been diagnosed with angina. I have obviously had cardiac problems building up over the years but I've been asymptomatic (as far as I am aware).

Ace inhibitors versus arbs
I am new to the forum. I have taken blood pressure medication for a number of years: 25mg Atenolol; 2.5mg Ramipril and as these didn't control BP, bendroflumathiazide was added. With the medication BP was around 145/75. My GP stopped bendroflumothiazide last year. Ramipril was increased, but BP

Finally All Mets Zapped!
Whew, just completed 28 RT session. Finally got my mets zapped. Been wanting to do that as it seems to be a treatment consistent with men here having long remissions. 3 sessions each of SABR to 3rd rib, 6th rib and iliac bone mets. 28 sessions IMRT to para-aortic lymph node string. That’s all that

Had Radiation and adjuvant ADT for 16 months now what?
I am 74 years old. I was diagnosed in Apri 2019 with PCa, Gleason 10, at a PSA of 250. A Ga68 PSMA Pet Scan showed there was no spread or metastasis visible. However, it was the considered opinion that there would be mets in the lymph nodes nearby which were too small to be visible on the PSMA Pet Scan
