Left hand and arm pins and needles and goes to sleep ?
I used to get pins and needles in hands and arms but been SI B12 for over three years once every 2 weeks and went away and only used to happen after the 2 week period in week 3 when symptoms used to start to return. Now I get it quite often and wondering is it B12 related or is it to do with something

Confused
I have been drinking aa bit more than usual and have had a liver function test that came back as Gamma high, I checked with receptionist and she said it was 43!! What is a normal Gamma reading? I also take statins could this be part of it. I have been advised to cut down which I am trying to do, but

Will start improving diet tomorrow as three meats family roast tonight - kids and grandkids coming over! How do others find

PMG/Thyroid - Steroids
Two years ago I decided to have the shingles injection as having my twin grandchildren I didn't want to worry if they ever got chicken pox, etc. It wasn't until I was diagnosed with PMG did I investigate whether the shingles jab could have caused my PMG which developed a few months after the injection

Dear friends of Thyroid UK Can I please once again ask for advice. My last up date was about discharging myself from the endocrinologist, I was wasting his time & mine as he wouldn’t prescribe my T3 which I continue self source. He explained he couldn’t prescribe the T3 but could up my Levo to 125

Exercise????

Almonds, aspirin and statins - "Apolipoprotein B underlies the causal relationship of circulating blood lipids with coronary heart disease"
For those interested in such things, a couple of publications point to the protein known as ApoB as causative of/correlating with coronary heart disease: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/19004895v1 https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.119.315019. ApoB is found in a number of lipoproteins

Flawed cholesterol study makes headlines
"A controversial study has argued that if you have a high LDL (bad) cholesterol level when you are aged over 60, you will live longer, there is no increased risk of cardiovascular disease and that statins will have little effect. But can we trust these bold claims?" >> My personal lived experience

Australian saturated fat & cholesterol documentary (both parts)
A two-part documentary, The Heart of the Matter, which pulled in a huge audience of almost 1.5 million people per episode, reporter Maryanne Demasi suggested that high cholesterol does NOT cause heart disease and most people are wasting their time taking cholesterol-reducing drugs called statins. This

Statins, neuromuscular degenerative disease and an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-like syndrome: an analysis of individual case safety report
CONCLUSION: We emphasise the rarity of this possible association, and also the need for further study to establish whether a causal relationship exists. We do advocate that trial discontinuation of a statin should be considered in patients with serious neuromuscular disease such as the ALS-like syndrome

Mevalonate Pathway Disruption
Statins work by disrupting the mevalonate pathway, of which CoQ10 is a part. Not surprising there are so many adverse effects.
