Inflammation is the real problem and increased cholesterol the solution. So why has cholesterol got such a bad rap?
Two good, short articles that sum up what I've been trying to say for ages:

Latest Bloods - Dr requested a review
An update after my last post in February. Dr put my Levo up by 25mcg, so I have been taking 125mcg per day since the beginning of March. Due to no appts, I’ve eventually got the bloods done that I requested through the GP. They’ve just texted me a routine appt for May, after the Dr has reviewed my results

Statins and Malcolm Kendrick's: The Great Cholestrol Con!
I saw Helvella's post regarding the article in the Guardian on NHS checks; I did post this elsewhere, but I guess would only be visible to folk following the original post, so I thought it may be helpful to post separately. Some on here may well be aware of this work: The work of Malcolm Kendrick

PBC causing high cholesterol?
My cholesterol level has gone up and I am wondering if it is due to my PBC. I know there are lots of causes of high cholesterol but I read in online research that PBC can cause this. Has anyone else had this and if so, did your doctor put you on a statin or cholesterol lowering medication? Thank you

Early 50s male, healthy till hypothyroidism my first few months experience of treatment
I don't usually share info on the internet, but as a lot of material out there is aimed at women or Americans (I mean no offence to either!) I thought I'd stay my experience so far. Diagnosis, what does it all mean, and treatment/first medications. DIAGNOSIS Late 2022 I saw a nurse as I was taking longer

Are statins essential if you are suffering from AF and/or past strokes? And how much is 'good'?
Just seeking some views on what constitutes the 'correct' level of statins to take in various situations. I have been taking 10 mg of simvastatine for six months and found this is no problem for me and it has marginally reduced what was a very low LDL cholesterol level in the first place. But my doctor

Looking for advice after recent chest pain.
Bloods from August this year showed a
cholesterol
of 5, triglycerides of 1.5,
HDL
of 1.3, LDL of 3, and HbA1c of 37. ECG on 28th November showed sinus rhythm with a PR interval of 140ms, QTc of 412ms and there was no ischemia. I had a previous exercise tolerance test in 2016 which was positive.

Recent TSH reading came back at 0.02..is this as bad as the GP surgery pharmacist suggests??
Hope this makes sense. Around September last year amongst usual symptoms of Carpal tunnel, IBS, tiredness, aches, weight gain etc I developed a new issue. Initially I thought I'd damaged my left shoulder rotator cuff..I couldn't remember damaging it but I suddenly couldn't raise my left arm past shoulder

TSH in normal range but...
Non

raised and MCH at 32.2. To be tested again in three months, but doing the Thyroid UK checklist I was astonished at how many of the symptoms I have.

HDL
, 0.9 triglycerides and total/HDL ratio of 3. I get tested once a year or so.
