I was diagnosed as having a 'borderline' underactive thyroid in July 2018. Initially I was prescribed 50mcg of Levothyroxine which was then increased to 75mcg following my first set of blood tests. My following TSH test result was 3.4 and I have been taking 75mcg ever since. Over the last year I have

Statins & Metformin
For those interested in the full text of the recent study: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cam4.2862 Of particular interest is Table 3. Note that Lovastatin did very poorly, but not many men were using it. Simvastatin, which had more users than the other statins combined, was disappointing
