Advice Please and thanks!
Looks like I am in range? I don’t understand why I feel so bad still and the last two days have cramps in both my legs from top to bottom. My results are; TSH - 1.250 (0.27-4.2) Free T4 - 15.100 (10.8 - 25.5) Unfortunately these are the only tests my GP will do yearly. I asked for B12 and Vit D he will

Coming off statins
A few days ago I was reading a posting from a guy who was going to, or had stopped taking his statins because of leg pain and I can't find this posting. Perhaps he could remind me who he is, or PM me? The reason for this is that I want to either do the same or reduce my doseage asap, possibly after year

Fizzing Joints
Good Morning. It's a change of weather here in the UK. I have Hashimotos and seem to be getting a flare up in my joints and lots of horrible " fizzing" in my arms and legs, plus the joints in my hands and wrists ( and now feet ) are aching much more than in the summer. Rather like someone has stuck

Atorvastatin - when to take?
Is there a definitive answer? Night only? Or any time just so long as you're consistent? I've seen information (including on my prescription) that says Atorvastatin should be taken at night like some other statins - apparently as this will be effective targeting increased production of cholesterol by

A possibly interesting publication revealing 10-fold increase in inflammatory molecule in microvascular angina patients.

On W&W until 2017 when I had one cycle of FCR, after a bad reaction in intensive care with neutropenic sepsis

Diabetes?
I am now 6 months into repeated symptoms. First one is sore penis and red glands - dr thinks it is balanitis. Kept mostly under control with Daktacort cream. Second symptom is 5 occasions of dark pee when dehydrated (all have happened after hot day, playing golf etc). I need to drink 2/3 litres of water

statins recommended
Current Dr insisting i go on Statins,but very reluctant because previously i had bad experience with mood swings,muscle problems etc on various Statins. Just had Blood pressure test for a week with an Average of 122over78. Not much wrong with that,through eating and exercising sensibly. Need evidence
