View 1 RepliesProstate Cancer :: Hormone Therapy Side Effects - Casodex (man Boobs)
I have been on hormone therapy since May '06 (9 years) With a PSA of 28, I elected to do daily hormonal therapy along with Eligard injection every six months and have been EXTREMELY lucky that it continues to keep the beast at bay. (Undetectable) I feel fine but I have "man boobs" from the use of Casodex for so long and they are somewhat embarrassing. In a effort to reduce the size and tenderness, the Uro agreed to allow me to reduce my dosage in half and the last two checkups showed PSA still holding at "undetectable".
My question is this:
1. Has any members had this issue and Corrected it?
2. If I have orchiectomy surgery, would I STILL need to take Casodex to keep the PSA down?

View 1 RepliesTransmission Of Meth During Sex Via Ejaculation?
I have been with my husband for 27 years, he claims he does not use meth but I know he has since we first meth, he quits off and on, but I am afraid he is using more now again. My concern is that he ejaculates inside me, and I am now unable to sleep, I have mood swings and get very angry and have a short temper, my appetite is decreasing etc. is it possible that the meth is in his sperm and is affecting me? I really feel like something's very wrong I feel like I'm "tripping" afterward. I am not a drug user and do not ever want to be but I'm afraid he is putting it in my system.

How can you tell if someone is using meth if they deny it? I'm suspicious because they've had previous problems with meth but got clean. Now it seems like there are things going on such as missing at least 2 days of work a week and sleeping all the time. Rent isn't paid either.

Meth And Sex :: Hard One Minute Then Soft The Next
My boyfriend has used meth for 20 yrs, the first time he got hard like normal but he got off in 2 seconds, it's been 9 months and he is lasting longer but he can never go more than 1 time and he will be hard one minute then soft the next. I question if its me that isn't turning him on because when he is watching me orgasm he gets hard but not when I am trying to get him in the mood? Do I just not turn him on? Or is the meth use playing a part in this?
View 1 RepliesHallucinogens Addiction :: How Bad Is Casual Meth Use?
How bad is casual meth use? I have recently started it using it very lightly for energy to keep up with work and school/studying. I use it about twice a day, smoking it out of a glass pipe. I take a few big hits and then I'm done. I do it once during the day after I eat and before I go to school/work and then again after I eat dinner, to help with energy for the rest of the day. I know its bad for me and could lead to addiction and I am already craving it and relying on it a lot to get through the day. I tell myself I will stop once I feel like its becoming a problem and don't intend to use this for a long time, at least until I can get some Adderal. But for the time being, without it, I can't seem to stay awake in class or have energy to do other things. I should be ok right? Only major health problem I've noticed so far is oilier than usual skin but no biggie. I still eat and go to sleep at a normalish time and I make sure to rinse my mouth very well after each session as to not rot my teeth. I usually cough out a bit of phlegm after I smoke but I see that as a good thing since my lungs are expelling extra stuff.

View 2 RepliesSubstance Abuse :: Easy Steps To Quit Meth?
I'm a 5'5 22 year old female who started at 195 and I'm now at 145 in weight in about one month. I tried it when I was very young, started again when things were crazy difficult, but months or years in between has never been an issue. This past two weeks I was using around 1 gram a day. Lost that much weight in two weeks. I'm always almost fainting from never eating. Had to teach myself hydration. And today, it felt as if I've been doing it forever. I snort it, my nose hurts so bad all the time. I can visibly see my eyes getting droopy, they are usually really big wide eyes. My life is crap right now but without it it becomes so much worse. All I think about all day is using then at night I use and think about how to get more and the thing is my father supplies it to me, free. Top of the line from the man who cooked it up. So with that information, I used about 1/2 today within an hour. I want to stop. I feel sick I'm exhausted laying in bed my nose is running worried I'll make it bleed. I have to take a drug test soon and my question is, what are easy steps to move on with a short lived addiction and also detox and clean myself out as quickly as possible. I want to be DONE.
View 12 RepliesProstate :: Why Biopsy? When We Have MRI And PSA
Having agonised about what to do for over a year now I have finally decided. Nothing. Well, not quite nothing but what is termed ‘watchful waiting’. My PSA has steadily increased over the past two years from 5.4 to 7.4 and in September my GP referred me to a urologist. The urologist, who arrived very late to the surgery, did a quick DRE then said that he would refer me for a biopsy. I wanted to discuss the options, including MRI as I didn’t want to undergo an invasive procedure without proper discussion. Also, I had read that in a test conducted on 223 biopsy-naïve men that biopsy was no better at detecting PCa than MRI. The link to the study is here - [URL....]
We found that mpMRI/MRGB reduces the detection of low-risk PCa and reduces the number of men requiring biopsy while improving the overall rate of detection of intermediate/high-risk PCa.
Unsure how to proceed I asked my GP to refer me to a private urologist with the hope of being able to discuss the alternatives.
In the meantime I did some extensive research and discovered two further studies which concluded that for low grade PCa (PSA<10) the outcome for watchful waiting was no worse in terms of morbidity that invasive treatment and the outcome in terms of quality of life was much better. Both studies were conducted over at least 10 years by reputable agencies. One, conducted by the New England Journal of medicine is here [URL] ... . The other can be found by searching 'PIVOT'. Also, a number of well-known doctors have published articles in favour of doing nothing – Dr Mark Porter in The Times and Dr Sarah Jarvis in this very website, not to mention other articles in The Daily Mail, Telegraph and Independent. I got to thinking that if invasive treatments did not improve my outcome, what was the point of a biopsy?
I finally got to see a private urologist who discussed the options and, although he was marginally in favour of a biopsy, did not object to my proposal. So now I am going to monitor my PSA and I will reassess the situation if/when my PSA goes into double digits. I have since gone on a no-dairy and low red meat diet and my latest PSA (Dec14) was down marginally to 7.2 – still high but moving in the right direction. I appreciate that this course of (in)action is not for everyone and not knowing is frustrating at times, but for me at least, I feel it is the best current option.
I am 56 years of age and my father, who is still very well had an RP for PCa about 15 years ago. All DREs have reported ‘enlarged but benign-feeling’.
Facing Prostate Shaving
After initially being diagnosed with stage 4 terminal bladder cancer and told I only had weeks to live, plus there was nothing they could do for me, I became a pro-active patient (doctors advise, I decide). All that was nearly 7 years ago.
I have been on Tamsulosin on and off (definitely on in the last year) to help peeing.
In the last year, my blood pressure has risen to dangerous levels. Hypertension pills have helped somewhat, and by experimenting I've got to a good combination with little swelling and other side-effects. But then my remaining kidney started failing.
Investigating this a couple of weeks ago, it was found that my retention (no-one mentioned PVR) had worsened from an earlier 'normal' of 500-600mL to 1.2L and this was thought to have caused the kidney problems.
I'm now catheterised for 4 weeks (half-way through now), and both my blood pressure and kidney function tests are showing an improvement.
The last thing the urologist said was that they'd probably be considering prostate shaving. Hence my coming to this forum and reading up on the alternatives (Urolift sounds an attractive option if I'm suitable). Whilst I understand that TURP is both the gold-standard and generally OK, the stories here have underlined the serious risk of bad side-effects. So I'll see if I'm eligible for some of the alternatives (not just Urolift, but PAE and WHY).
I'll update when I've seen the urologist next.
