Relationship between serum cholesterol and Graves' orbitopathy (GO): a confirmatory study
The abstract of this paper is like many others in that it switches between "high cholesterol" and "low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol". Well, perhaps it all makes more sense in the full paper? (Though that is behind a paywall.) Still, the simple observation of an association is interesting and

Actemra update
I haven't written or even read much on here for a while. There was a perfect storm, coming from all directions, for a depression to set in. I was completely dysfunctional, any little thing made me cry or rage and I could not concentrate on anything. I'm better now, I've talked myself out of the depression

My cholesterol is 8.2
Hello everyone, this is my first post here. After getting an urgent letter to go to my docotor as soon as possible, I was told that my cholesterol level is at 8.2 and was prescribed some pills (didn't pick them up yet). I am 28 years old 174cm tall and I weigh aroun 77kgs - so yes, I am overweight. Unfortunatley

Statins
See comments on both this forum and the Thyroid one about the advisability or not of taking statins. I have a chadvasc score of 3, old lady! and high blood pressure. I take Dabigatran along with various bp meds and because of the statins no-one bothers to re-test my cholesterol level. I half-heartedly

New results. Dose adjustment? Reason for macrocytosis?
Hi Everyone, My husband would really appreciate any wisdom on his latest results. He's been on NDT for the last seven months, gradually increasing the dose. Currently on 1.5 Thyrogold a day. I think this makes 75ug of T4 plus 19ug of T3. He was on Naturethroid but problems with supply and then a new

Low serum free thyroxine level is correlated with lipid profile in depressive patients with suicide attempt
I really don't know what to say about this abstract. Unless I am getting it entirely wrong, don't total cholesterol and triglycerides tend to [u]rise [/u]with low FT4? Anyway, it has certainly previously been reported that it is vital to consider the possibility of statins causing or worsening depression

Triglycerides
If trigs are lowest ever by LDL and total cholesterol are high does this mean that despite the figures, this is a good result as VLDL in LDL is actually also very low?

Help with interpreting various blood results
Hi, I recently had a blood test for various things. (I have Psoriatic Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Sjörgren's Syndrome, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and some of the tests are because of the meds I take). I was hoping someone could interpret my results, i.e. if there's anything I should be concerned about. I'm

What Every PWP Needs To Know About Probiotics For Their Symptoms and Quality of Life
There are many potential reasons why probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics may be useful for PWPs. Although the great majority of PD / probiotic studies involve animals, there are many human studies that show benefits that would definitely be useful for PWPs! In this first study, it is shown that probiotics
