Fundoplication /anasthesia worries Operate ...or Not
I am suffering from severe reflux which I seem to be aspirating constantly into my lungs. This has damaged my lungs so badly that I have lost possibly 65% of my lung function. Currently, my FEV1 is 0.88. and my FVC is 1.60. I cant do very much without becoming very breathless. But I try to walk on

Metoject prescription being stopped - help!
I have had a call from my lupus nurse to say my gp has written to them to say the ccg have stopped them prescribing metoject and that I will now have to get it from the hospital. All fine except the hospital don’t do the metoject pens and only do pre filled methotrexate syringes which I didn’t get on

Pheochromocytoma question
Hi everyone, this isn't a thyroid question. However, this is an endocrine question and pheochromocytoma seems to be closely linked with thyroid. Anyone out there have a pheochromocytoma? I am currently undergoing tests but what I wanted to check was how often are you having the attacks? Are they monthly

Blood pressure medication
Before I was diagnosed with AF last year I was taking Indapimide with no side effects. Since diagnosis I have been tried on various meds for high BP, including beta blockers, I'm now taking Slozem, all causing me to feel unwell in various degrees. Does anyone have any idea Why indapimide is no longer

Gelatin?
Just read my Euthyrox leaflet after 4 months! (I know - incredibly stupid....) Was surprised to see it contains lactose and Gelatin. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Gelatin come from the bone marrow of cows? Or maybe it is synthetic? If it comes from the animal I'm a bit worried about introducing

ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (Phase II study of enzalutamide monotherapy with radiation therapy for intermediate risk PCa)
"Enzalutamide monotherapy with RT may be as effective as castrating ADT, and associated with fewer side effects. Larger, randomized trials are needed to further evaluate enzalutamide monotherapy, instead of ADT, to be used in combination with RT." "45 of 60 evaluable patients had a PSA <=0.2 at the end

WB Used DQ + Coke To Cure His PCa
When Warren Buffett was diagnosed with PCa he had IMRT. When he had a BCR he went on a diet of: 6 cokes per day - DQ double cheeseburgers with fries - DQ Milk Shake and a DQ Blizzard. PSA went to <.1 and has stayed there over 2 years. Now his study could be biased as he owns DQ and a huge amount of coke

Doctors won't order labs to track ADT side effects
First of all, if this post is formatted poorly, I apologize as had some issue before where it put in new lines where they should not be, and I can't remember the solution given at that time. I am recurrent, metastatic, and on ADT/Lupron. I realize that everyone's experience is different, and that's

Am I safe after stopping Stark's?
I used to have high lipid history since 4 years. Like TC 250, TG 270, HDL 44, LDL 170. With 5 mg daily Rosuvastatins, I'll have normal lipid profile. But I have history as below: 2 or 3 months daily Rosuvastatins 5mg (though doctors prescribed 20 mg), and stopping it for next 2 or 3 month. After stopping
