Statin intolerance
Trying hard to take statins after heart bypass. Have managed to get my cholesterol level down to normal without statins and result came back from lab “no further action” but rang my doctor anyway to discuss the fact I should be on them as a precautionary measure . He put me on Ezetimibe 10 mg but no

Blood test results- hubby had private testing done!
We decided that he should have some basic tests done to see if there was anything that could account for aches/pains/tiredness/irritability etc. and we've got a few unusual results I was hoping someone could help us with! Here are his results from Thriva- for context, he has no diagnosed conditions.

Low but in range test results?
hello dear wise people I have been 'lurking' for a while here trying to learn, but I still can't make any sense of my results, so decided to post here, hoping for some help. My symptoms are mostly fatigue and brainfog - I'm still functioning, working etc but I feel like a shadow of my former self. I

Shrinkage of the Brain
My wife was suffering for over 4 years with PSP. During the treatment, brain scan MRI showed that her brain was slightly shrunk. Many of the other patients too had brain disfigurement. It is on this that I would like to comment. As all know, 60 -65% of the brain is cholesterol. According to the Ayurvedic

Underactive thyroid / M.E. help needed analysing blood test results
I was diagnosed with an under active thyroid aged 14 after 4 years of feeling ill and put on 125 mg of levothyroxine. Unfortunately at the same time I was diagnosed with glandular fever. I have spent years oscillating between feeling well and hardly being able to get out of bed . I practice yoga, rest

Medichecks results - help in interpreting please

Hello!
I am new to the group but have enjoyed reading your posts and getting a feel for the site. I have learnt a lot, thank you and hope to start Vitamin B1 HDL once I get the sign-off from my neurologist. I am taking 8mg Ropinirole Daily but from reading Dr Constantini’s protocol and various posts, it seems

Cholesterol Levels
I have been under a Cardiologist because I had an abnormal ECG and I am only 35 but I do suffer from severe health anxiety following a trauma I had a few years ago. Anyway, I saw the Cardiologist who said the abnormality in the ECG was purely positional (I had a normal one since) the echocardiogram

First anniversary of RALP, my PSA has crept up from 0.02 to 0.04 (GS 4+5=9, pT3b). During this period, I was taking monthly tests except during the recent lock-down when there was a 3.5 months gap. Prior to the latest test I didn't take any medicine or supplement, statines included, for 8 days. Analyzing

Apixaban (Eliquis) - Damage to Liver, Kidneys, Thrombocytopenia - Dilemma
I have a major dilemma. My dilemma is this: do I continue taking the blood thinner (Apixaban) and bring about damage to my kidneys and liver, OR do I stop taking it and take chance having a stroke? But again, there is another huge fear: blood thinners do cause, in some people, hemorrhagic stroke.
