High Cholesterol and hypothyroidism query re levothyroxine
Hi, I understand there's a link between high cholesterol, triglycerides etc and hypothyroidism. The consultant told me that if I'm taking medication for hypothyroidism then the link between lipid issues and thyroid no longer apply. All the tests show that my cholesterol levels are too high despite taking

Statin doses?
I take 20mg of Rosuvastatin daily and my cholesterol and Hdl are very good. My doctor prescribed 20mg a day but I heard from a friend that its better to take at least 40mg a day as statins keep the vessels pliable and dont just help with cholesterol reduction. I dont like the side effects of statins

Should I stay on statins?
Hi all I was prescribed 80mg of atrovastatin because I have high cholesterol and severe damage to the iliac arteries. I was given the tablets prior to my diagnosis of Hyperthyroidism and had been dutifully taking them until I read that my cholesterol level would like decrease without the use of statins

high MCH
Hello, I am hoping for some advice regarding my annual g.p blood test. My MCH was 33.3 range 27-32, it was flagged up on the results, my g.p said he was not concerned about it as its always been on the high side & proceeded to tell me how it was important to lower my cholesterol, which is 7 (HDL 2.72

Three years in and not sure what next step to take
Hello everyone. I'll try not to waffle on too much in this post but I wanted to give at least as much of the story as is needed as I'd like to ask for opinions on what to do next as I don't know what to do. For info, I'm a 37 year old male. About three years ago I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism

B VITAMINS ARE VITAL. I did not recover from Hashi's til I took individual B vitamins
DO YOU REALLY NEED ALL 8 B VITAMINS? Most medical students are taught that people do not need vitamins and supplements. If you eat a balanced diet, they are told, you get all of the nutrients needed. I was told this in medical school and it is still the mantra being disseminated decades later. The
