Statins
Hi all, quick update. Been to the doctors today. She suggested I stopped taking the statins as that’s what could be the cause off my aching bones. Have to go back Monday for full blood test as the heart attack can also cause arthritis 😬😬 but she is confident that it’s the statins. I have to see if

Turmeric
Does anyone know if it's ok to have turmeric and black pepper mix whilst taking Methotrexate, Prednisone, Asprin, Statins and Omeprazole? As Tumeric is known to reduce Inflammation. Thank you.

Statins and RLS
I developed my RLS after taking statins for high cholesterol. The statins ruined the muscles in my legs and caused RLS. I stopped taking the statins, but the RLS remained and have had them for over 20 years. Has anyone gotten RLS after taking statins and having leg or other muscle problems. If so

Off Beta Blockers
Age 50. Been on Metoprolol (beta blocker), statins and aspirin since July 2018. Had 1 stent fitted end of August 2018. Then on the clopidogrel as well. All pretty good since then. Saw surgeon in Dec and he advised coming off the metoprolol as my BP was surprisingly low. So reduced to half dose for two

Statins
After a first unexpected angina attack was given 20 mg Atoravastatin by hospital. After a follow up at cardiac clinic was told to take 80 mg. Has anyone else suffered side effects from large dose. 80mg made me really ill. Have been reduced to 40 mg but not much better. Ok on 20 mg.

First Endo meeting - Results in
It only took 10 weeks (to the day) to receive the letter from the endo after my referral to him. 10 weeks for feedback! Atrocious really. I was referred to rule out Addisons, which he did at the time, and he has now ruled out Cushings. The letter bangs on about my blood pressure and cholesterol

Test results what do they mean? Have gone online so have previous results when I was complaining of fatigue, confusion over last 5 years...
Felt fairly rubbish over the last 2 months- feeling sleepy if sat back unless using the PC, hence watch TV on a night and o stuff on PC otherwise I would drop off, or reach for something to eat to keep me awake! Hence the expanded waistline.... Appreciate your comments - is it the thyroid, B12, or

Beta Blockers?
I would really like to pick up on a point I raised a while ago regarding Beta Blockers. Brief history, I had an out-of-the-blue episode of Angina and was admitted/diagnosed with 95% blockages of LAD and 50% right, fitted with 2 stents to LAD. Echo is completely normal and did not have a HA, although

Statins & ADT.
New study below. ("... online 7 December 2018", but I don't recall it being posted here yet.) "The national VA database was used to identify all men diagnosed with CaP who were treated with ADT for at least 6 months between 2000 and 2008 with follow-up through May 2016." "A total of 87,346 patients

Which Simvastatin to add?
Husband stoped metforminnafter aevere neck pain and had lactic acid test showed 2.5 repeated test 10 days out still the same but muscle pain is gone.. Dr thinks since he works out with weights and cardio five days a week it can cause lactic level to go up.. also came across article on statins.. He

Stents
Morning all, I’m after some advice please. My husband, who is 47, has just been diagnosed with a couple of clogged arteries, has been put on statins, blood thinning drugs and will have to have a couple of stents fitted. This has come as a massive shock to us. After having had some chest pain, no history

David Diamond on Cholesterol
I've posted Diamond's videos elsewhere, but here's another that I just came across that very effectively debunks the still-pervasive hypothesis about cholesterol and heart disease: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYlhG8_nZe0 It's terribly sad that the medical establishment are so obsessed with cholesterol

Treatments for C3G
There are no medicines that specifically treat C3G. Instead, current treatments aim to keep blood pressure, proteinuria (protein in the urine) and blood cholesterol levels low, and to control the immune system (the body’s defense against infections). The term C3G includes two conditions - dense deposit

Sleep
Hi I just wanted to share. Not sure if this has been mentioned. As some off you maybe aware I had sleeping problems. I was advised by my cardio nurse to take my statins earlier than I was... instead off taking mine at 9pm I'm now taking them at 7pm and it's made a massive difference. Hope this helps

Going round in Circles!
My last TSH was 23.5. Cholesterol 7.8. Finally got referred to an endocrinologist who wasn't a bit concerned at the results but said it could be supplements I was taking interfering with readings. He asked if I was talking statins for cholesterol but I said I was waiting for my thyroid to settle as that
