CLL and worsening allergy but poor immunity
Came across a great article on the relationship between inflammation, allergies and a poor immunity in CLL. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3844117/ Every now and then I hear about people with CLL on the forums saying that they never really get properly sick. So for example a cold comes

Liver function was normal before took atarvostatin - started on 80 mg & reduction to 20 mg showed continuing abnormality. GP now reluctant to put me back on statins & is looking for something

How to lower cholesterol.
Hi, I'm Christine 61 and have just found out I have high cholesterol and need to get it down with gentle exercise and healthy eating because I don't want to go on statins if I can sort it myself. There are certain foods that help to lower it but when I've looked it up it's such a mine field I don't

Statins and blood sugar
7 months into my cardiac journey and daily morning dose of blood pressure meds, clopidogrel Apixaban, lanzaprozol and atorvastatin (40ng) and for the last couple of weeks I have been waking in the early hours with what I can only describe as internal shakiness and then sweating. It passes quickly but

Maybe Gastritis?
About 7 months ago after a recent trip to the USA I had a bad bout of Gastroenteritis. A week or so afterwards I started to get bloating symptoms after eating. I also started taking Statins at this point due to high cholesterol. I went to see GP who tested me for H.pylori bacteria which came back negative

High cholesterol despite other positives
So I reversed my type 2 diabetes ..HbA1c now 41 from 70, I lost 2 stone in weight and am no longer overweight, liver function tests all back to normal and I exercise REGULARLY.. And yet my cholesterol is still 8 (HDL 1.6 and ratio 5) So am not happy.. The diabetic nurse urged me to go back on statins

CAN STATINS CAUSE THYROID PROBLEMS?
Hi All I posted here 3 weeks ago that a short 12 week course of statins from Jan 17 ending in April 17 gave me muscle problems. I have had very many investigations (biopsy, Mri, Emg, CK bloods) and all have been 'normal' However, the muscle problems have not only persisted but progressed. The rheumatologist
