Statin side effects
Hi, I'm new to this community. I have been on 80mg of Atorvastatin for the last 14 months but have noticed a marked deterioration in my short term memory and a need to think about tasks that were previously automatic, a few people in similar circumstances have mentioned this as a potential side effect

Leg pain
8 days ago had a stent fitted in my RCA, previously had two stents fitted last August after a Heart Attack. Amongst other things , over the last couple of days my right calf has become very painful, it almost feels like I have got pins and needles, with frequent sharp pains. It is very uncomfortable

High Cholesterol, High Triglycerides, High Blood Pressure and Atherosclerosis: A Potential Remedy?
PWPs seem to have a myriad of health issues in conjunction with PD. Four very common ones are atherosclerosis (AS), high blood pressure (HBP), high triglycerides (HT) and high cholesterol (HC). Wouldn't it be great if there were one supplement that could potentially treat all four problems at the same

New, first diagnosed back in 2005
I've had several different docs. Now in a new state for the past 15 months. Having a hard time starting healthcare all over. Just turned 65 and went through all the confusion of Medicare. . .that was not fun. Have a partner...so not totally alone, but feel pretty isolated. Miss my community garden. Lawn

Levothyroxine and Atorvastatin
Can anyone tell me if there is any interaction between Levothyroxine & atorvastatin. My 76 year old mum had been on Levothyroxine for over 25 years at 75mg and has been fine. Her cholesterol was high a few years ago and they put her on Atorvastatin. She showed symptoms of her thyroid medication not

Statins v Fibrates
Anyone tried Fibrates? I am one of the many who can't tolerate statins and my GP gave me Bezalip Mono a slow release fibrate which I took for a few months without any issues. Went for a test and my cholesterol was 5.5 and my GP wanted it lower so changed me to Fenofibrate. Upshot was the old backache

Very Interesting! Heart patients taking statins face a higher risk of type 2 DIABETES.
Heart patients taking statins face a higher risk of type 2 DIABETES as study adds further fuel to scientific row over the cholesterol-busting pills •The life-saving pills are scientifically proven to lower the risk of heart disease •But they are controversial among medics because of their potential

New Test Results (feedback please) and Mixed Endo Results (US)
I would love some feedback on these labs from you wonderful people. Met with endo and they completed first round of testing (after gp refused to do any increase in NDT medication even though symptoms AND fT3/4 levels were worse). There was good and bad. Endo will not do rT3, saliva cortisol, active

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

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
