I need help. I recently lost my NP that monitored and subscribed my thyroid medication. I don’t have a thyroid. I had it removed in 2002 due to a thyroid nodules that were cancerous. I have taken 120 mg of Armour thyroid for years and a small dose of t3 12mcg. The new prescriber I just saw wants

Chemo Update March 27, 2024
I was treated with 6 rounds of docetaxel in 2017/2018 when I was HSPC and I responded exceptionally well. I have been CRPC since 2022 and have tried abiraterone and Radium 223 (Xofigo). I just completed 7 rounds of docetaxel again and PSA went from 105 to 3.1 after 4 rounds then started doubling. Now

Introduction and Strontium Ranelate
Hello, I thought I would introduce myself: I was on this forum a few years ago when the last of the NOS forums was closed, but then I lapsed reading posts and posting myself, so here I am again, at least for a while ! I was diagnosed with osteoporosis 17 years ago, this was on DEXA but also x-ray

CTCA result
I’m guessing this could just be down to image quality that my LCX isn’t visualised properly? My cardiologist said he’s personally going to take a look at the images himself and share with imaging colleagues. Anyone had anything similar from a CTCA? They were investigating me for CAD, looks unlikely

I talked in length worh my pharmacist, who agreed wirh my decision and recommended D3 and Calcium to start. I bought

SlowDragon please comment on my situation if you're around.
Hi, I'm not able to get labs until Jan. 13, hopefully. This clinic is going under and everyone is struggling to be seen in this tiny community in the middle of nowhere. I am tired most of the time. However, I did walk the furthest today than I have in a month so maybe things are getting better

calcium
how do people know that they have calcium that's required daily 1,200mgs,I don't eat dairy, I have alpro no sugars, and alpro yoghurt no sugars, you would have to stop in all day counting calcium, measuring yoghurt a bit messy wouldn't a calcium supplement be easier.

How big are AA tablets
I am considering trying weekly alendronic acid tablets but am worried they will be too big for me to swallow since I have dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). Please, what shape and how long/wide are the tablets people take? Note that there are good reasons why I should not have infusions. Meds involving

New to PMR
Hi everyone -- I am new here and have had PMR for about five months now. I can't help wondering if the last Covid vaccine I received may have possibly triggered it, since my symptoms started less than a month after that. (I had already had five previous Covid vaccines.) I was also going through a period

Coronary artery calcification, osteoporosis and B12 deficiency- what to do next ?
I have just been found to have coronary artery calcification incidentally when having a Lung Healthcare scan. This information was passed to my GP who wants to put me on statins (Atorvastatin 20mg daily). I have no idea of the severity or extent of the calcification, only that it was found. I don't

Radium-223 and [177Lu]Lu-PSMA
Has anyone here from Canada had experience with either of the two PSMA treatments. I was all excited about this until I looked into it a bit more and the results seem to be very mixed not to mention the cost of upwards of $27K per treatment (5 or 6 treatments seems to be typical). I have completed 8
