Should I start taking meds?

[JCFM]

This is my cholesterol levels of the past 15 years.

My Doctor wants me to start taking meds, should I?

Have you ever had a complete thyroid test (TSH, FT3, FT4, T3 and antibodies)?

[JCFM in reply to Batty1]

Not complete, but I was tested on some years you can see above. Don't believe I had an antibodies test done.

Other than these constant above normal values, I've also had constantly slightly above normal (>6), from my leukogram, Eosinophils, ie. in 2023, 7.6

Just give me the pill! That's the mantra of patients - and big pharma is right there to oblige! Switch your diet - mostly vegetarian. Supplements: Pantethine, Citrus Bergamot Extract, Artichoke Extract, Berberine, Amla, and blueberry tea.

[JCFM in reply to DicCarlson]

Thanks, will look at those supplements. I will try to avoid pills if I can, not a fan of pills per se, but aware they might be needed depending on the situation.
