Effects of medications
I was diagnosed with PD about a year ago. I am of course interested in anything that is neuroprotective. I was told that only exercise is so I do that. Some believe that nicotine is so I have been on nicotine gum for several months. So far I have not noticed progression. My primary symptom is weakness

Hi all,I thought I'd update you all. I went into hospital in the 20/02 to have my second last chemo before the BMT. Upon admission, I had a fever. After 4 days of fevers and a rash from head to toe, the doctors elected to postpone the BMT. So now the search is on to find out what drugs didn't agree

Medichecks Cortisol Saliva test
Hi, Ive received my Medichecks Cortisol Saliva test and was just wondering if it would work to take the test tomorrow and post on Saturday morning or would it be best to take it on Sunday and post it on Monday morning. Just worried that it might sit somewhere over the weekend if I posted it on Saturday

Firmagon vs Lupron
So, the question is what are the up or downs if switching from Firmagon to Lupron. I used Orgovyx until it didn't work, switched to Firmagon. Wanted either due to family history with heart issues.

A useful option-gastro resistant empty capsules

But I have also taken them at 11pm ish and not noticed any difference. I asked a gp if I should still take

My son’s last PSA three months ago was <.01 but today it was <.10.It was previously as high as 22. He’s also tertiary five. His Mayo doctor told him to continue to test every three months, stay on current meds Lupron, Abiraterone/prednisone for another year and two months then stop meds and wait
