Blood tests private
Hi everyone, I’m due for a check up at the Endo this month, and this time would like to go armed with test results. Besides the normal TSH, T4, T3, vits etc what is the best overall test to do privately ? I suffer with high cholesterol as well and fed up with being told to go on statins ! Also suffering

Statin Hell or Statin Saviour?
Daily Mail today www.dailymail.com/health/article-6764117 statins DO save lives. So who do you believe? My latest blood test taken in January (not a good time to have it done) was as follows: serum cholesterol 9, serum triglycerides 1.1, serum HDL 1.39, serum cholesterol HDL ration 6.5, non HDL

Endocrinologist visit
Dear all, Comments are very welcome, direction guidance also. I had my 2nd endo visit, the first one I noted on the forum as was observed as a crappy letter which it was. I was ready to take forward the advice I received last time from #fightfor your thyroid# 🤸♀️ I didn’t take my normal medication

Praluent injections
I’ve just started Praluent injections as I’m intolerant to statins! After 1st injection I have chest tightness and intermittent breathlessness. I had the same with statins. Has anyone else had similar effects? Not sure if I should see if symptoms settle until next injection in 2 weeks or contact consultant

So. First fab report is that nail lady fixed my poorly nails and they feel amazing. I phoned for bloods

Low iron high cholesterol
Does anyone know if low iron causes high cholesterol? My cholesterol is very high after taking 40 mgs of statins a day. Just found out my iron is low. I have googled a few things about it but haven't found out much.

Latest Update
Good afternoon all. I went in and had another stent fitted on the 5th of February after a bit of a wait and 3 ambulance call outs, the third one they kept me in as they said I was a high risk. I am feeling much better and not getting so out of breath. The consultant thinks my problem is genetic and I

So confused
I was diagnosed with very mild build up in 2 small arteries the only reason they gave me the scan was because I pushed for it, Drs kept telling me my chest pain which i get every day, was anxiety, even after the diagnosis they said the amount of build up didn't warrant how much pain I was getting, I

Ezetimibe
Does anyone on here take zetia or ezetimibe for cholesterol? I cannot tolerate the pain that statins cause and my cholesterol has gone up since I have been off Lipitor.

I have some atheroma
I have had a CT angiogram recently and i have a narrowing of the right coronary artery at the beginning. In the left CA there was the appearance of a possible lesion in the mid left anterior descending but they thought this was artifactual and so not related to me (does this mean it was a screen fault

Statins
On the back of TheAwfulToad's post re Dwight Lundell, consider this: If you've had a heart attack and take statins for 5 years as a consequence, trusting you are doing the right thing, your extended lifespan would be considerable and worth putting up with the side effects up to and including rhabdomyolysis
