Update on Cardiac scan results, need a little advice
I was on 80mg
Statins
aspirin(75mg) Rampril/Bisoprolol(both 1:25mg)when I was discharge, now in that time I was taken off all
statins
due to a deranged Liver. Then Bisoprol/rampril due to side effects and low blood pressure. Finally Aspirin.

Advice please
Feeling nervous about the interactions of all the drugs, especially as info on
Statins
says muscle ache and inflammation of pancreas and liver as possible side effects, will taking
Statins
cause my PMR to flare?

statins recommended
Current Dr insisting i go on
Statins
,but very reluctant because previously i had bad experience with mood swings,muscle problems etc on various
Statins
. Just had Blood pressure test for a week with an Average of 122over78. Not much wrong with that,through eating and exercising sensibly.

Advice Please and thanks!
I did get my cholesterol done which after going gluten and dairy free has gone down a little which is great as they wanted me on
statins
which I think I def would have refused. I am 49 and I am not sure if my symptoms would be from my thyroid or maybe menopause which he won’t test for either.

CLL and Statins
Here is the question, has anyone experienced a quick or sudden change in their blood counts since taking Atorvastatin? Hi All, I am reasonably new to this forum but was diagnosed with CLL in 2009. On W&W until 2017 when I had one cycle of FCR, after a bad reaction in intensive care with neutropenic sepsis

Do supplements help to increase GFR?
I’m a new member who have recently been diagnosed with stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease ( CKD ) and besides prescribing
Statins
for my High Cholesterol (which is 5.5) my doctor will not offer any further help at this time.

STATINS OR NOT?
Been to see my consultant and he suggests I take

Atorvastatin - when to take?
I've seen information (including on my prescription) that says Atorvastatin should be taken at night like some other
statins
- apparently as this will be effective targeting increased production of cholesterol by the body at night.

I’m going to be on
statins
to lower cholesterol but there are some things I can do: cholesterol lowering spread instead of butter on toast (I found that Tesco’s spread tastes fine); no more jam on my toast; don’t skip evening meals. The other thing is alcohol!

Cholesterol and Statins
I think more and more that worrying about cholesterol is the wrong thing to do. I believe we should be looking more at Beige Carbs and sugar, reducing obesity and the body will look after the rest. I came across this article that supports that theory https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5/9/e007118.full

I've refused
statins
as my cholesterol was sky high before hypo diagnosis but is gradually reducing through diet/ levo. Blood sugar average is below diabetic range. I'm not overweight ( but at the upper edge of 'normal' ).

Diabetes?
I am on warfarin,
statins
, allopurinol and omeprazole and have had 5 courses of antibiotics over the last 6 months as Dr originally thought it might be UTI then they thought possibly urethritis.

Anti-Androgen Abiraterone Acetate Improves the Therapeutic Efficacy of Statins on Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Cells.
Importantly, in combination treatments,
statins
specifically enhanced growth suppression with added effects by anti-androgen abiraterone acetate on the CR PCa cells. Thus,
statins
can be used in conjunction with abiraterone acetate to enhance anti-androgen therapy for CR PCa."

CholBiome reduces Cholesterol
I had a reading of over 6 and I’m allergic to
statins
. My doctor put me on Ezetimebe which brought it down to 6. Then I found out about Cholbiome which can only be described as a food supplement as it hasn’t gone through medical trials yet.
