American Horror Story II
I did further investigation and here is what I found: In the American Horror Story post I recounted the experience of Chuck. Chuck was doing well on ADT but decided to have the Choline 11 Pet Scan. It was determined that Chuck had Oligometastatic PCa with Retroperitoneal Lymph Node involvement. Surgery

A fat is the cause of type 2 diabetes
What if there’s enough insulin, but the insulin doesn’t work? The key is there, but something’s gummed up the lock. This is insulin resistance. Our muscle cells become resistant to the effect of insulin. What’s gumming up the locks on our muscle cells? What’s preventing insulin from letting glucose in

Advice on managing -or not- my 'high cholesterol' levels, linked to my under active thyroid
Hi, I've not posted here for a while, however I do have some questions that maybe someone may help me find a solution to. Firstly I'm hypothyroidien and on daily Levothyroxine (87.5), I'm ready to accept that it is quite well managed- a part from side effects (quite a number but I can support them),

Fighting the gremlins...
I started out in May weighing 155 pounds and two weeks ago I was down to 144 pounds - only 7 pounds from my goal of 137. My weight loss has been slow at around half a pound a week but that was fine by me. Over the past twenty weeks I have run at least 5K three times a week and increased my strength training

It has lowered but at my last visit consultant says he is monitoring my thyroid results as they are borderline but my antibodies are ok. He says there is nothing I can do to

LCHF Diet
One of my doctors had advised the below. I am confused. Low Carb High Fat diet is not recommended for Diabetics. Our body needs continuous energy which can be easily available only from carbohydrates. A high fat diet in the long run can raise ketones levels in the blood and cause Keto Acidosis in

Cholesterol confusion
Hi, just joined, and have some confusion about test results. My cholesterol test results are:- tc =6.1, hdl=1.5, ldl=4.2, serum cholesterol hdl ratio= 4.1. My fasting trygliceride is 0. 9. When discussed with gp he said losing weight and doing regular exercise would keep me healthy, but doubted it would

Surprised by first week
This time last week I stumbled upon a post on the MyFitnessPal community. The title was eat more, weigh less. It outlines the benefits of strength training. Most of my excess weight is carried above my waist so I have been wanting to focus my exercise on this area for a while. My broad shoulders make
