Advice on Results Please
Hello, I've been trying to find my sweet spot since starting HRT and discovering I was undermedicated. I've just had my latest test results back although I keep having issues with the blood samples for Medichecks so some tests have been redone and other are missing. Anyone else have issues with this

Long Term Zoloft/Sertraline, or other SSRI Treatment, might increase Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis and stroke risk
Effects of Long Term Zoloft/Sertraline Treatment and Depression on Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis in Premenopausal Female Primates.This study was done on female monkeys only. Thus, it might be safe to assume that male monkeys would have had similar results. These results could be caused by depression

Raised cholesterol
I have been advised to take cholesterol medication by nhs endocrinologist. He did genetic testing for familial hyperlipidemia, which was negative, but had an anomaly. I was given Atorvastatin which I haven’t tried as it seems to be one that has worse side effects for patients with thyroid disease.

Association of cholesterol level with dopamine loss and motor deficits in Parkinson's disease: A cross-sectional study
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36209467/ TC - total cholesterol
Conclusions: This study suggests that TC levels affect parkinsonian motor symptoms, especially in low cholesterol status, while the severity of axial motor symptoms is negatively associated with TC levels only in statin users.

Claudication in the legs
I have recently joined. I wish I had done so two years ago. I have just read a description of Claudication of the legs and realised that is exactly what I have been experiencing. Having had Claudication of the jaw during GCA I can’t think why I didn’t relate it. Possibly because old GP mentioned steroid

Hi everyone, I just joined. My name is Anna and I am from Denmark. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto´s disease in December 2002, based on a high TSH, low FT4, and high anti-TPO and anti-TG levels. I was told it was very easy to manage, and that all I needed to do was to take levothyroxine until my TSH
