Scoop on latest rheumi visit.
I had my 8th injection of Actemra last week, before I could get the next batch, I needed the rheumi's OK. My rheumi has no interest in any of my symptoms, practically the whole time I'm sitting in a chair across from him, he is typing away, making it very hard to even get a word in! He showed me my

High cholesterol
This is my first post. I am 32 years old and I have hypothyroidism too. I was initially found to have high cholesterol back in 2016. My HDL level was 5.8 (<5.0) I have also been getting white plaques of skin around my eyes, the nurse said that is indicative of high cholesterol and I have had those since

Do these cholesterol levels need further treatment or are they okay? Aged 21
Hi, I recently had a blood test at work and haven't had chance to take the results to my GP yet. I should start by saying I have a family history of heart disease/problems. My maternal grandmother had a stroke in her late 40s and died of a heart attack aged 54. My mother is displaying signs of what could

High Cholesterol diagnosis
Had diagnosis of high cholesterol early 2017 and got referred to the Lipid Clinic at hospital. I have been told my LDL Cholesterol is at present 2 times what it should be. The doctor advised taking 10 mg Simvastin or Ezetimibe. I am currently refusing this, as I have heard so much bad stuff about statins

Cholesterol numbers
Hi All Am hoping, as raised cholesterol can be a thyroid symptom, that someone here may be able to help with this? The first set of numbers are from Feb 2018 the second from June 2018. Is that an unremarkable increase or a marked increase? As in has it crept up a little bit or way more than you would

Current symptoms are low body temperature (compared to what was my "normal" temp of 37.1. Over the last few months it ranges

Went from Stage 3 to Stage 5 in 2 years - low protein diet?
I was first diagnosed with CKD in August 2006. I noticed blood in my urine and went to an urgent care and they sent me immediately to the ER. My BP at the ER was 260/140. The doctor in the ER tried to lower my BP too fast and I passed out and almost went into a seizure. I was in the hospital for a week
