Latest Bloods - Dr requested a review
An update after my last post in February. Dr put my Levo up by 25mcg, so I have been taking 125mcg per day since the beginning of March. Due to no appts, I’ve eventually got the bloods done that I requested through the GP. They’ve just texted me a routine appt for May, after the Dr has reviewed my results

statins update
well, 6 days, 6 tablets and I was barely able to move through pain and exhaustion! As for brain fog and memory loss, don’t get me started on them 🤣 For years I have believed statins were toxic…… well, it turns out they are for me! 3 days of not taking them and I am returning to normal. i am now exploring

Which scan or test?
I'm writing on behalf of a friend. They had a stent nearly 10 years ago. Very overweight, on blood pressure medication, statins, aspirin and spray under the tongue. Just lately they've been getting a lot of chest pain, using spray more and unable to walk far without getting breathless. Blood pressure

Statins - lowering blood cholesterol enhances the action of immune cells, thus slowing the growth of prostate cancer
Interesting article ccording to Cedars-sinai. Not sure if anyone has given some thought to this? https://www.cedars-sinai.edu/research/news/cedars-science/2022/statins-slow-growth-of-prostate-cancer.html

Atorvastatin and raised blood sugar
I was on simvastatin 40mg for many years and 2 years ago my Dr changed my medication to 20mg atorvastatin. My blood sugar has increased to the point of needing lifestyle changes. Has anyone noticed the link between statins and diabetes or is it just me?

Stenosis (blocking!) of the LAD - will it now be monitored?
Morning everyone, happy Saturday. As you'll know from my previous posts, I was discovered to have a large hole in my heart at the end of last year. I've had a tonne of tests to assess it and I have now been referred for surgical closure (OHS) in London which should hopefully happen in the coming months

heart and asthma
I have chronic asthma. Over last year or so I’ve become increasingly breathless. my chest is heavy and tight and I struggle to breathe on any exertion. Even getting dressed and bathing is a big problem, on the last few months I’ve got chest pain if I don’t stop to reset when getting so breathless. I

Back on Besremi next week!
Hi Everybody, Finally had the visit with the liver specialist at Chapel Hill. Good news is I can start taking Besremi again. Bad news is I have fatty liver disease and it was more extensive and serious than we had expected. On a scale of 1-4 I rank the beginnings of a 3. 4 is cirrhosis of the liver

Do statins help with PAD pain?
I seem to be posting a lot lately, so thanks if you've taken the time to read and respond. Much appreciated. I've been experiencing what my GP calls intermittent claudication of the calf muscles, otherwise known as PAD. I have had high cholesterol since I was a young adult but have remained fit and

symptoms before a heart attack
hi everyone, I’m a 50 year old female with mild coronary artery disease and likely familial hypercholesterolaemia. I have a strong family history of early death from heart disease and my dad died at 57 having had several HA’s in his 30’s/40’s followed by a triple bypass at 44. Although he died very suddenly

Most used Statin
Hi everyone I’m considering going on a statin. Years ago I was on simvastatin but I was take off it by a cardiologist after he did my blood test, because in his words, it was affecting my bones. Recently my GP as been trying to get me to take it again but they’re not having any luck. I’m resisting.
