PMR and statins
He was then put on
statins
, and every week for the last three he has had a flare, not sure if it’s coming off them, even though he has come off by slow tapering, or could it be the
statins
? Hence he is now back on 2mg daily. Wondered if anyone else has had any problems with
statins
?

I’m afraid to stop
statins
as a high cholesterol was blamed for my heart attack.

Cholesterol
Hello all, Following a recent blood test, I've received a message from my GP saying my cholesterol is a bit high and advising lifestyle changes and offering
statins
. I'm currently researching
statins
trying to make an informed decision. I read that they are advised for CVD.

Statins and Hydroxychloroquine
Has anyone ever experienced a reaction when taking
statins

Do Drs get a bonus for prescribing certain drugs ?
Does anybody know if Gps get a hand out for prescribing
statins
? There has been a lot of controversy in regard to this topic. Late yesterday afternoon I had a call from my surgery. It was a Dr I had never heard of or had I spoken to her before. She was suggesting I were put on
statins
!

Test results and what to ask my GP
My results showed not just high cholesterol, but also: Serum TSH 8.7 Serum free T4 12.8 So there's a note about me being subclinical hypothyroid and another about
statins
. So I'm guessing the GP is just going to want to put me on
statins
.

low TSH higher cholesterol
My father was unwell on
statins
so I am anti. Should I increase my levo and still refuse
statins
as it seems that would be logical for me. My diet is healthy, although I am not totally gluten free, I don’t buy or eat much bread but do cook from scratch.

NICE guidance on statins
I recall seeing a reference to NICE guidance suggesting that
statins
should not be prescribed unless hypothyroidism has been eliminated. I’m struggling to find it and should be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. Many thanks
