Unusual swelling with lymphodeema
Hi I have a tendency to get swelling on the outer aspect of my right thigh, the leg that gets the worst lymphodeema. I have lymphodeema which originated in the right leg, & gradually increased to affect my left leg & abdo, badly... Stomach can go up & down with fluid like I'm pregnant & then gradually

GP cholesterol results.
Hi folks, So I have just had my cholesterol test done by my GP with the following results. HDL - 1.5 LDL - 6.8 TRIGLYCERIDES - 1.7 Total 8.3 risk factor 26% They want to start me on Statins asap. I am keen to avoid drugs and believe that some of the increased numbers above could actually be good

Statin Prescribing - UK NICE & QOF Guidance
The Quality Outcomes Framework does sometimes appear to be payment for prescribing statins, or gets described as such, but the actual wording is somewhat more nuanced than that. And it specifically recognises that not everyone should be on statins including patient saying no: [i]

ezetimibe
I have been on 10 mg daily of ezetimibe for 3 months and my overall cholesterol level remains the same at 6.2! Has anyone else found this drug ineffective?

Source of NDT or T3?
Looking for some advice. I’ve been having hypothyroid symptoms for years, with FT3 at the very bottom end and often below range the few times I got the doctor to test it. Morning oral temp at 35.8-36.0C Only a couple of times did it approach 50% of range and that was using desiccated thyroid supplements

Genetic background strongly influences the impact of carrying the Thr92Ala-DIO2 polymorphism in the male mouse
Are you male? Are you a mouse? Do you carry the Thr92Ala-DIO2 allele? Can you wait for the publication of this paper? Can you wait for the human version of this trial? And do you consider it necessary to wait for the eventual publication of the human trial before considering T3? It is undoubtedly

New blood pressure drugs
Hi all I have had a lot of issues with BP meds currently on Felodipine 7.5mg and in general they are by far the best I have used. However I am an insomniac and Felodipine has definitely exacerbated this. No sleep at all last night. GP prescribed Mirtazapine to help but I only took half a dose and was

Lipid results
Since my last post regarding elevated finger prick sample for cholesterol, I am now in receipt of my formal blood test results for lipid profile which are borderline and need to speak to Doctor. I do have a GP follow up next week to discuss these but wondered if anyone on here can interpret them and

High Cholesterol
Any advice please on my lipid results taken from a finger prick sample when attending an appointment at Our Future Health research programme. They were elevated . Total cholesterol 7.6 mmol/L HDL 1.22 mmol/AL Triglycerides 4.72 mmol/L They did not record LDL unfortunately. It was non-fasting.
