Blood test results - assuming Hypo?
Hello this is my first time posting on here. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos due to high antibodies probably 10ish years ago. I've had hypo symptoms in all that time but have never been medicated as my GP insists everything has been normal. I've been having recurring vertigo recently and at an ENT

Any Tips/Advice for Vascular Surgery Appointment coming up…?
I have been referred to see Vascular Surgery and my appointment is in a few weeks. The physio I am seeing for neck and shoulder pain asked my GP to refer me due to frequent left sided pain in my neck arm and shoulder blade and also facial symptoms on left side. She wants to make sure there isn’t anything

Help, Can anybody interpret these results?
Can someone help me make sense of these test results? MC = Medichecks. NHS = GP Surgery, BH = Blue Horizon. What is screaming at me over these last 6 bloods is that they are all fasting, taken around 9.00am. The very last results were based on supplementation of B12 sublingual spray 300 mcg x1 day Thorpe

Hi folks, So I have just had my cholesterol test done by my GP with the following results. HDL - 1.5 LDL - 6.8 TRIGLYCERIDES - 1.7 Total 8.3 risk factor 26% They want to start me on Statins asap. I am keen to avoid drugs and believe that some of the increased numbers above could actually be good

PBC and Cholesterol
My total cholesterol level has shot up to 6.39. My internist wants me on a statin (Atorvastatin) with it's many negative side effects. I've been researching other cholesterol lowering medication options and many sites (including the Mayo Clinic) list bile acid sequestrants - including Cholestyramine

Following LeoPa's “On CLL, diet and possible connections.”
I am also curious about the preferred energy source of CLL cells. Particularly the cholesterol role. If the CLL cells use cholesterol do they use whatever is present, or is there a signaling going on telling/initiating production—that causes cholesterol to rise? Below are a few articles I found on

My wife has a pacemaker: the result of an investigation into infrequent episodes of syncope. As part of the investigative process she was fitted with a 14 day holter monitor which detected one episode of paroxysmal AF. She was prescribed Edoxaban. On the advice of her cardiologist she also takes peridoprol
