HypoThyroid Madness
I need support with my thyroid concerns. I have been hypothyroid sinceI was about 24. I don't take the medicine because I like natraul healing. I got my bloodwork done the other day and needless to say it was not good. I have started back taking my levolthrotyne @ 100mcg. My YAH is 33.8. I am worried

Hi there. My blood test results for cholesterol came back about 2-3 months ago and my cholesterol level skyrocketed from 6.4 up to 9.6 and i'm only 19. Is it common to have heart disease this early? Unfortunately high cholesterol is inherited from my mothers side but for a 19 year old I fear a cholesterol

DR ELLIE CANNON: Is my GP on the level about cholesterol?
Here is an interesting Q&A: Q. I recently had a cholesterol test and it showed a reading of seven, which my GP considered to be within acceptable limits. I questioned this, saying that I thought anything over five was considered high. I am 63, slightly overweight, have normal blood pressure and stopped

I have been a member of this forum for about 2 years and have learned a lot from others as to how they are coping with their symptoms and the treatments they are using.

High HDL v High LDL v Low Trig's
There are two studies that show high HDL is protective of heart disease even when LDL is elevated or Triglycerides are elevated (but not both). So if your HDL is good and your Trigs are low stop worrying. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4871717/ One guy has has offered £3k to antone who

High Cholesterol, High Triglycerides, High Blood Pressure and Atherosclerosis: A Potential Remedy?
PWPs seem to have a myriad of health issues in conjunction with PD. Four very common ones are atherosclerosis (AS), high blood pressure (HBP), high triglycerides (HT) and high cholesterol (HC). Wouldn't it be great if there were one supplement that could potentially treat all four problems at the same

Endocrinologist visit
Dear all, Comments are very welcome, direction guidance also. I had my 2nd endo visit, the first one I noted on the forum as was observed as a crappy letter which it was. I was ready to take forward the advice I received last time from #fightfor your thyroid# 🤸♀️ I didn’t take my normal medication
