Cholesterol
Hi all I’m sure this has been asked before but as a newbie to LCHF I’m afraid I am going to ask. Will this plan not increase my cholesterol? Reason for q I have high cholesterol it is a family trait. After refusing for years at my last face to face with my dr I gave in and started taking statins. Mainly

Statins
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone else might be having problems with Statins? I'm currently taking 1x 10mg of Rosuvastatin a day and I have the feeling that it's making me ill. I wake up most morning shaking inside and my anxiety is now kicking in. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers. Paul

High TSH
Wonder if anybody has had the same experience as me - I was recently admitted to hospital for a severe asthma attack and when they done a blood test they said my TSH was high and to get another blood test when I was discharged to get it double checked and perhaps make a appointment with the consultant
