Should my Thyroxine be put down?
Hello all, I've just had my latest results and my doctor has lowered my Thyroxine from 100mg to 75mg. Does that seem right? I feel very unwell and I'm putting on weight despite suffering from severe nausea, so I am definitely not over-eating. I'm 49-year-old woman who was diagnosed with an underachieve

To those who have read Dr Richard Wassersug's book....
As mentioned in other posts, off Erleada as it's contraindicated in my treatment of Multiple Myeloma. I was just approved for Zytiga. Hurray for me. Anyway, I have not read his book yet but it's on my list. I recently watched his Tube Video and found it interesting but covered other higher priority

HRT and magnesium supplements
Hi I’m new on here. I’m taking oestrogel 1-2 pumps in the morning, and one progesterone capsule at night. I’m increasingly frequently waking up in the night and I’m exhausted. Have tried other HRT types which made me feel mad and wild so I want to stick with this. Friends have recommended magnesium

Does testosterone fluctuate after ADT ends?
My treatment (Radiation/Lupron/Abirateron/Prednisone) ended on May 2. Gradually my testosterone began to come back. In August it was at 3 nmol/L and in Oct 6 it was 11 nmol/L so it is on a upward trend as can be expected. However I am wondering if there are up and down fluctuations because while

Go-forward Treatment Plan
First of all, I've been an avid reader of this forum over the past 2 years, and wanted to express my gratitude towards the amount of knowledge everyone has been sharing on this site.

Questions regarding an oestrogen cream (Ovestin) and its effect specifically on hypothyroidism but also in general
This morning I visited my GP for an abdominal examination because of raised liver enzymes. As our conversation progressed and I mentioned other niggles she offered a blood test there and then for rheumatoid arthritis, organised a pelvic ultrasound for tomorrow (I know, amazing!), a stool sample and a

hello. I would not recommend high dose melatonin for us who are on ADT and abiraterone. Impairs dexterity and cognitive ability.

Meridian Viewray is toast. Can Cyberkife machines use MRI the same way?
Just was unenrolled in a Phase I clinical trial using the Meridian Viewray machine at Dana Farber. Meridian went belly-up in the summer, and the hospital (Brigham and Women’s in Boston) will cease using that machine in October 25th. Looking for substitutes. Thinking that Cyberknife machines can also

Is there a dr at Ninewells who deals with APS?
In Dec 2020 I had what was thought to be a TIA. I mentioned to the stroke nurse that I had tested positive before for lupus anticoagulant and my rheumatologist at the time put me on aspirin. I was told to stop HRT in order to do this. It wasn’t checked again. The stroke nurse prescribed Clopidogrel

ADAA Personal Story: Why I Wrote a Children’s Book about Postpartum Depression When I Was 9-Months Pregnant
When I was growing up, I watched people on TV enter emergency rooms inaccurately believing they were suffering from a heart attack. After a full workup was done, the relieved TV doctor pronounced it was only a panic attack. For a long time, I wondered how someone could possibly confuse emotional stress

Am I Hypothyroid?
Hi, can anyone give me any feedback on the blood results I have received please? I am nearly 5 years into Surgical Menopause, Ovaries removed. More than likely I have Oestrogen Dominance which could be suppressing thyroid function as my Prolactin is currently very high (975miu/l) and soon to be investigated
