Hi
It sounds as if you are having a bad time. I don't have restless leg syndrome although I do have a vascular blockage in one leg and osteo-arthritis. A couple of years ago it was so bad that after walking 2 or 3 hundred yards my leg felt as though it would explode and I had to stop and rest it. My

Guilty Pleasures
I’m 68 and had double bypass 5 months ago. No symptoms, no heart attack, I was otherwise fit and well. Was found by chance. I’ve been blessed with a good recovery and it is now becoming just a tough memory. I’m so thankful that my journey has been relatively straight forward. I’m 170 pounds, lost 15

CHANGE OF BP MEDICATION - INTERACTION WITH SIMVASTATIN 40MG
As posted previously I was switched from attenolol; to Amlodipine 5mg. However apparently Amlodipine does not interact well with statins 40mg. So the GP has now put me on Lercanidipine 10mg. I post this as info in case anyone has concerns with Amlodipine and Statins being taken together and are

Stopping Statins for 2 weeks
Hi, I have recently been prescribed Clarithromycin antibiotics for a chest infection. I can’t take my Statins (Simvastatin 80 mg, 1 per day) with these antibiotics. I will be taking them for 2 weeks and if I get further infections, I will be taking them for another 2 weeks (recently diagnosed with Bronchiectasis

Ezetimibe side-effects
I've been prescribed two statins in the past although I've never had a heart attack. My cholesterol is on the high side. SSSAfter the 2nd dose of simvastatin I woke at night gasping for breath. My doctor switched to rosuvastatin and 30 minutes after taking the only tablet I experienced numbness, tingling

Statistics on the Statins - to take or not?
This is what my GP surgery sent - instead of the usual ‘annual conversation’ putting the onus on me to contact them if I want to talk about it. Interesting way of presenting the stats, still won’t persuade me though. So 15/100 will have a stroke. 5 will not because of taking statins. If inflammation

Side effects of statins.
Hi. I was started on Atorvastatin following my nstemi in Oct 20...in Dec my cardiac specialist stopped my statin to see if it was a contributing factor to my shortness of breath... Within 24hrs of stopping them, my breathing was better... My GP then started me on pravastatin....after only a few days

Stroke and mbc
Hi everyone, Happy New Year to all! I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced what I have had. I have always been basically healthy, don't smoke, exercise, active... In October 2018, I had a cryptogenic stroke - they never found what triggered it. Happily no sequelae. Lost all my self confidence

Statins
My GP wants me to start on statins based on an analysis of my cholesterol level and various other factors including postcode (not sure why this is a consideration as I live in a fairly ordinary surburban area). When I read up on statins I was rather put off when I read about the risk of type 2 diabetes

Concerned about latest Cholesterol Results
I am a 35 year old female in the UK weighing 145lbs. Had lipid profile done as part of routine bloods. These results have gone up since my last test 6 months ago. ***Please note I DID NOT fast for this test as I was unaware the GP was doing my cholesterol *** I have also done the American conversion

Israeli experts show that some already widely used drugs help fight COVID-19.
I stumbled across this while searching for vaccine safety information for my wife- she has both LUPUS and antiphosopholipid syndrome. Looks like statins, Pepcid, Anti-cholesterol fibrates, and even Viagra can help tamp it down. I'm on 3 of them plus Vit D & C. Time to make a reservation at my favorite

Fit as a fiddle til 51 when the bad genes from Mum and Dad kicked in. They both smoked and Dad had TB & Rheumatic fever as a lad, so he was suddenly carried away by a heart attack aged 51 and she ended up with a teflon aorta ten years later. I was surprised as I was a cyclist and kept very fit, stopped

Statins side effects
I have been through all the statins and the alternative to statins they all have bad side effects for me so I am unable to take any of them. I am now on the Repatha injection self administered every 2 weeks, no side effects and cholesterol down to 1!

Statins and Type 2 Diabetes
Not strictly speaking an MPN question but I’d be interested to know if anyone has had a similar experience of statins and insulin resistance as a possible side effect. When I was first diagnosed with ET 17 years ago my GP put me on Simvastatin to reduce my cholesterol, which was only slightly high, and
