Pain near kidneys?
Just wondering if anyone else has had issues like I'm enduring at the moment I'm usually a well guy but just lately lots of intermittent pain on my left side that comes and goes just under ribs... I'm currently suffering from what I suspect is going to be laryngitis with a bad cough and chest...and

IFAB negative - should I pursue diagnosis?
Hi I'm new here and was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to proceed with my GP? I'm 55 years old and for the last year or so I have been suffering from hot flashes, extreme fatigue, depression, palpitations and back pain. I had a heart attack 6 years ago so my GP investigated for heart arrythmia

Trying to reduce cholestrol while staying gluten free
Hi I have Hashimoto disease so I decided to go gluten free about a year ago. I was on 100mg but now been reduced to 75mg all good. The other day I was sent to hospital with a possible TIA (small stroke) I had a CT and neck scan and nothing showed up? However the doctors despite this want to give me statins

Statins and PMR/GCa
Thank you for all the replies I got as to an as yet unproven relationship between statins and PMR/GCA. I am still looking into it all. There is a study going on at the NIH, Bethesda, Maryland, U.S.A. At the moment re PMR/GCA. I am wondering if this might come up. I will have to ask my Rheumatologist

Statins and PMR/GCA
Has anyone heard or read about a connection between statins may be being a trigger for PMR or GCA? I have read something about this, but not sure of the outcome of the research.

Statin
The doctor wants My LDL cholesterol to be lower and has put me on a statin drug. He will test my liver enzymes after 30 days. Have any of you with PBC experienced elevated liver enzymes from statins?

Care Oncology Clinic, or if not - what?
On October 11th I will be having my review appointment. If fine I will have been NED for one year. I'm now wondering where to go from here. I'm a bit disappointed with the oncology reviews which now seem to be carried out exclusively by registrars, a different one each time. One in particular upset

I want to die of heart disease
Every so often there's a post from someone worrying about their cholesterol, so I thought it might be apposite to crimp off a few thoughts on the subject. Here's the thing: we're all going to die. We don't want it to happen too soon, but once we get ancient, creaky, and crinkly, we're pretty much ready

Cirrhosis makes me sleep all day & night -- any remedies?
Hi! I'm new here. I have had NASH for many years and it has now turned into cirrhosis. I have numerous varices, and had a near-fatal episode of bleeding from my varices a few years ago. The varices have responded well to banding, but I am now astonishingly tired. Sleeping 18 to 22 hours a day is not

Statins concern

Plaque Regression?
On September 10th, 2018 I had a Carotid Intima Media Thickness Test (CIMT) performed. The purpose of the test is to determine the degree of plaque accumulation and stenosis occurring in the arteries leading to the brain. This test is sometimes used as a screening tool by doctors to identify people who

Anxiety
I am still getting episodes of anxiety post HA and Angioplasty. I am taking Atorvastatin and I can see it’s a side effect of the drug - should I ask to switch to another drug or do all statins cause anxiety? I mentioned it to my GP but she just looked at me blankly which didn’t fill me with confidence

Statin use/cholesterol management during venetoclax
Has anyone had to use statins/cholestorol reducing meds during venetoclax? In particular has anyone used ezetrol or crestor? My Dad was on statins prior to commencing venetoclax and he is hoping to continue with the statins if they will not cause any trouble.
