Hypo and statins
Hi all I am a treated Graves patient and feel well on my Levo dose. No problems there. However my cholesterol (LDL) is high and has been for a long time. I’m guessing my GP will be advising I take statins at my next check up. Anyone any experience of taking both? Any problems? I have seen the Nice

High Cholesterol
The Pharmacist at my GP practice rang me 2 days ago, to tell me my recent blood test results indicated high cholesterol. He asked whether I ate a lot of fatty food, and said I must reduce this latest result. I am going to ask him if I should try Statins, although they

my husband insists nosebleeds are the body releasing pressure. I get them since I was in my 30’s, and because if the anticoagulants, bleed quite profusely for a little while. This morning I thought I would check my bp at the same time, to prove him wrong. haha - was 215/124 😱😱😱😱 within the space

Do natural supplements work to reduce high cholesterol?
While strictly not a PMR issue I know there are a few whose cholesterol has risen markedly since being diagnosed. I am one of them. I have always had high-ish cholesterol but my last fasting blood test showed everything else perfectly normal but my cholesterol was up. I haven't seen the results

Oral Thrush Conundrum
I have been at stage 2 for a few years. I am on three immunosuppresents (one for kidney and two for psoriatic arthritis). Dealing with thrush is a constant. My former nephorologist refused to give me anything stronger than Nystatin. Told her multiple times it didn't work, and multiple times was re-prescribed

Between a Rock and a Hardplace!
👋 Hi Everyone, this will probably seem like a 1st world problem to most people on this forum, I'm sure but I wonder if anyone else has lost a little sleep 😴 over my current dilemma? I had Bypass surgery late September 2022. This was purely precautionary following my diagnosis of a severe stenosis

Heart attack symptoms in women

Constant oral thrush on Fostair
I am constantly struggling with oral thrush on the roof of my mouth and now painfully in my throat. I take 2 puffs morning / 2 puffs night Fostair. I use a spacer, brush my teeth, rinse my mouth and it still keeps happening. Usually Nystatin works but this time (after finishing antibiotics) it’s not

It Is NOT just Prednisolone
I have just posted this on another thread. How our bodies and muscles in particular, react to this drug is critical to the way we need to address dosage and approach. Here is my take on how this condition moulds us and progresses. Confusing symptoms occur and they are similar to many conditions so

genetics and cholesterol. Statins
your body produces cholesterol with the levels very much affected by your genetics. I did everything possible to bring mine down and it barely budged. Your decision but I’m on statins and take Coenzyme Q10 supplements as statins affect their levels. Afib doesn’t give you high cholesterol.

Afib and cholesterol
Have any of you been put on statins just because you have Afib ? As you all know I had my ablation last November and recently had my bloods done and my cholesterol was 5.7 so I was told by the doctors receptionist that I have two choices I either book an appointment to see the nurse about it or I can

Statins
Hi, I’ve just had my results from a health check I have raised cholesterol, the Dr is suggesting I go on Statin tablets. I am taking 1100 mg of Gabapentin, any advice please.

Getting circumcised after 7 months of battling with constant Balanitis
I got Balanitis from seemingly nowhere 7 months ago. As soon as I realized something felt off down there I took a trip to the Dr, believing that it would be a relatively easy fix. I was prescribed Clotrimazole, I was so relieved on the way home, thankful for modern medicine. If only I’d known how premature
