How do I start combining T3 with levothyroxine?
If anyone is able to give me any advice about this, I would be very grateful. I currently take 200 mcg levothyroxine, 100 in the morning and 100 before bed. I believe I have unresolved symptoms on T4 only and I know that I have the DIO2 gene polymorphism so I believe that I have conversion problems

Article regarding MCRPC and prognosis….Feedback?
Stumbled upon this article today as I am trying to research more about my dads cancer that has now become resistant to hormone therapy. It explicitly states that “MCRPC is associated with poorer outcomes, with most patients dying within two years of diagnosis (4).Apr 14, 2022” I don’t know if there

Expectations after six cycles of Taxotere
My husband was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer nearly three years ago, receiving a regimen of ADT, which included abiraterone, Lupron and prednisone. When that no longer worked, he started first-line chemotherapy. He just completed his sixth cycle. His PSA dropped until the sixth infusion

Thyroid results - advised to get bone scan
Hi everyone Please can I ask about my recent Medichecks results. The results below are similar to my usual results over recent years. The medichecks doctor suggested I get a bone density scan to monitor for development of osteoporosis, due to my long history of low TSH (0.01 to 0.001). They advise

NDT needed, contacts please
Hi everyoneI posted recently about sourcing some more NDT as my Thai NDT is close to running out, and what I am using is now out of date, but still working well. (I'll update my profile shortly with latest Medichecks results). A couple of members kindly replied to my last message. One avenue I'm pursuing

Suggested Thyroid Hormone Test Timing Protocols
These suggestions are gleaned from years of members experience to best achieve an average reading of thyroid hormone levels with highest TSH. They are calculated considering assimilation and half life's. TSH and thyroid hormones have an inverse correlation but signalling commonly becomes skewed meaning

Test results
I’d be very grateful if someone could have a look at my results and give their thoughts please? The doctor at the testing lab is concerned about the high T3 ( I’m on 3.5 grains of Armour) and also not happy about my B12 being towards the lower end of the range- he’s citing warnings of pernicious anaemia

Do I need to fast for Thyroid blood test?
Hi - I need to take my thyroid test in a couple of weeks. Do I need to fast before taking the test? I take NDT (2.5 grains divided as 1.5 in morning and 1.0 in the early afternoon). I read that I should take the test 8-12 hours after taking my dose so I was planning to switch to taking all 2.5 grains

Symptoms with normal blood tests?
In an attempt to find out what was causing my health abnormalities, I had my thyroid checked quite some time ago. And everything looked okay to be honest. I do not have the results at present, however, the TSH was 3.3 and the T4 was at the very top of the range. I had this tested a couple of times and

CRPC - causes and prevention of
This is the first time I have seen this explanation of why we become CRPC, do we know this to be true? This sounds like Gatenby's theory of killing off the weeds in a field allowing the non effected weeds to prosper. Does radiation kill these cells as well? This excerpt came from an NIH paper that

success with Threearrows - for anyone struggling with LOW IRON/FERRITIN
After 6 months I am finally seeing some progress with my iron panel! I spent 3 months on 4 ferrous gluconate tablets a day and my ferritin, saturation and iron barely budged. In fact, my serum iron actually decreased. I felt completely miserable with the prospect that I wouldn’t be able to optimise

Epigenetics - Heritability - Cadmium
Soon after diagnosis I joined a group headed by a man who viewed PCa as a modern disease with its origin in the womb. His bugbear was "Estrogen-like endocrine disrupting chemicals" (EEDC). I had come across the weird PCa risk factor of the second to fourth digit ratio, which seemed like voodoo science

ADT Recommendations
I'm probably looking at starting salvage radiation soon with 4-6 months of ADT. The doc suggests starting with Casodex and then two sequential Lupron shots. Is there a better way to do ADT for that period? I'd like to get my testosterone back quickly at the end of the treatment period if possible.

Private GP recommendation
Looking to try NDT (currently metavive) and have found a private GP from the thyroid UK list who is near to where I live. He is Dr David Eccleston, Sutton Coldfield West mids. I hope this is ok to name him? If anyone has experience of this GP could you PM please? Thanks all

Positive experience with Private GP
Hi all - for the benefit of anyone else dithering over trying a private GP... I've just had a really positive experience. She confirmed I have Hashi's (which has got a little worse/more antibodies since my previous bloods 6 months ago), we discussed treatments and she is prescribing a trial of NDT.

Does a big drop in PSA a month after the start of hormone treatment possibly represent a higher chance of cure?
Hi all, I have been researching and I have been wondering if big drops in PSA right after hormone treatment should give you more hope at a cure or if this does not change the situation at all? Father PSA of 226 dropped to 3 one month after Firmagon shot, and then 0.3 a month after that, and then 0.13

Increasing NDT dose
I’m in deed of advice once more. I was advised by Endo to increase my dose of NDT from 75 mg Efra but after several attempts, I failed. I was taking 75 mg + 25 mcg Synthroid every morning. Not feelingg100% but functioning. He suggested I take 60 mg +25 mcg Synthroid in the morning and another 30 mg
