Feeling really low at the minute. Sorry this is a long one but just want to write it all down.
After Nstemi in March, I went back to work in April. Was feeling pretty good apart from a burning sensation in the chest area not quite every day. I am on the gold standard meds, apparently and the GP advised that my 3 months was up to and to stop clopidogrel on 14 June. Which I did. He increased my

Can You Refuse Certain Blood Tests
I had a consult with a Livi doctor last week for non thyroid related issue, he wanted me to have a load of bloods done. I've checked online and see what he's ordered. It includes B12, which is pointless as I'm on jabs and have been for years, so B12 always very high. ( the lab always moan and point this

does anyone ever question their drs advice and medication prescribed or procedures?
four years ago I felt like a different person… I trusted drs, believed in medication prescribed and did what I was told without questioning … always playing by the rules and being a good human being to others. that all changed after my own heart issues, I’ve had a lot of time to read research papers

I've never taken statins. First, my GP said to take them to lower my cholesterol. But my cholesterol is naturally very low, I said. Is it, he replied, let's have a look. He scrolled down my file on his computer. Oh yes, he said, so it is. Then he said statins were recommended for diabetics, among other

Advice please
I have been recommended by my GP to take statins but I have an under active thyroid and take levethoroxine. He has said the risk is muscle damage but to me that makes no sense as your heart is just a big muscle. He has also claimed diet alone is not effective as I have a 10% risk of heart attack or

New Study Suggests that Millions Fewer Americans May Need to Take Statins
I just read this article (not the actual research article) that suggests that potentially 40% of Americans taking statins may not need to take them. What are your thoughts? https://apple.news/A2w_8AMmESbq59-D5UuGClg

I've been on 40mg Atorvastatin since my HA in May 2021. Last November I noticed I was doing a lot more itching. Had a blood test, my bilirubin and ALT levels were raised. Whilst trying to sort that out, I noticed u was breaking out in blotches/red spots and what look like small fungal patches. My GP

should I start interferon?
I’d be grateful for any advice or guidance on starting Interferon for ET CalR mutation. I was diagnosed with ET approximately 12 years ago when I was 57. I took Hydroxycarbamide in increasing doses over an approximate 6 year period when the efficacy of the drug began to wane. I was then prescribed
