Hashimotos / Hypothyroidism and Cholesterol - Should I be concerned?
Hi everyone. This community is great, and I'm happy to have found it. Some of you may recall I posted a couple months ago and shared my blood levels. I have been told I'm hypothyroid / Hashimotos (or borderline heading there). Until recently I have not paid too much attention to my cholesterol levels

Hello helpful peeps! I’m needing a bit of advice before seeing my GP again tomorrow. Sorry this is a long post! Having been on Levo since August (50mcg, then up to 75mcg) I finally saw an Endo a few weeks ago. He told me that a blood test done in 2013 identified that I had Hashimotos - but I’d never

I had a massive stroke in 2009 and then two heart attacks in 2013 and 2014. I was put onto statins. Three years ago the statin I was taking was changed by my doctor. He prescribed Ezetrol. Unfortunately my medical aid would not pay for this medicine and so over and above my monthly medical aid contribution
