After a recent blood test that shows I have high cholesterol my doctor has prescribed statins. Without even talking to me! However I have read that people with BAM cannot tolerate statins. Anyone out there had a similar problem,?.

Following LeoPa's “On CLL, diet and possible connections.”
I am also curious about the preferred energy source of CLL cells. Particularly the cholesterol role. If the CLL cells use cholesterol do they use whatever is present, or is there a signaling going on telling/initiating production—that causes cholesterol to rise? Below are a few articles I found on

High Cholesterol
My wife has a pacemaker: the result of an investigation into infrequent episodes of syncope. As part of the investigative process she was fitted with a 14 day holter monitor which detected one episode of paroxysmal AF. She was prescribed Edoxaban. On the advice of her cardiologist she also takes peridoprol

Cholesterol - great podcast
Thank you to all who replied to my recent question about statins. I cam across this today quite by accident and it clearly explains all about cholesterol and statins. Well worth a listen. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5DwxMcnzgVHGgSVnk5v318V/do-cholesterol-lowering-drinks-and-spreads-actually-work

Statins or not?
Briefly, after many years of uncontrolled AF and five unsuccessful ablations, I had a Pace and Ablate procedure. After a few months I began to have horrendous VT episodes which were much worse than AF, and more serious. I developed moderate impairment and could not climb the stairs easily. Soon,

Statins
I was reading about statins -- my rheum dr wants me to take one but my primary care thinks that since imaging ofmy heart showed that there aren't blockages it was not necessary and would just increase PMR symptoms. Now I'm reading that it can cause PMR symptoms so while making this decision, don't know

Newly diagnosed and trying to process what happens next...
Hi all In October last year I had a bout of light headedness and palpitations. It all cleared up after a couple of days, but was placed on a low dose of beta blockers and had subsequent investigations. Yesterday I received a copy letter explaining that I have been diagnosed with Coronary Artery Disease

Allendronic Acid and Cholesterol
Telephone consultation this morning went as I thought it would. What dosage of Prednisolone are you on? 2.75mg I answered. So you will be coming down to 2mg? No, I taper by a quarter of a mg every 5 weeks. I will be tapering to 2.5mg. And so it went on! I am advised that I need to start taking Allendronic

Muscle pain
Good morning. I am getting pretty debilitating muscle pain in my core - around my groin and up above. I think maybe these are my rectus abdominis muscles. It’s strange because it has happened before and I don’t’ recall doing anything to cause it. It’s very painful, has lasted days and doesn’t seem to

Does anyone else experience constant anxiety about their health?
Last year I was experiencing irregular heartbeats that were keeping me awake at night. I went to my doctor who referred me to a heart consultant who arranged all kinds of scans and tests.The result was I have ectopic heartbeats and not to worry. Put on betablockers and statins. But I still worry about

medichecks results different from GP
I did a home test back in. March in order to get some information other than the GP test who wanted to reduce my Levo and put me on Statins. I take 100mcg daily and feel well on this dosage, when I was on 75mcg, I felt lethargic and not myself. The new results are CRP HS. 1.510 mg/L. (Range < 3
