High Cholesterol
I'm a participant in the Whitehall Stress and Health study and recent tests as part of that have revealed high LDL (ie "bad") cholesterol - 4mmol/l as opposed to the recommended mount of less than 3mmol/l. I'm 4 years post op and otherwise doing ok. Has anybody else found high cholesterol and what

"Not diabetic at this stage"
I recently got myself referred to an endocrinologist by having some blue horizon tests which showed that, while my tsh etc is technically in range, my antibodies are out of control. The endo was a total let down, and I've finally got a copy of the letter she sent to my GP discharging me. She says I look

T3 for one month! and I'm a new person! WOW

how low is low T3?
Hi all, I have just been to the Doctor and gotten some inconclusive test results I guess. I am to keep a journal and go back after 2 months. I went with the symptoms of being extremely tired/fatigued. To the point getting through a normal day is almost impossible. The fatigue is my main concern but other

LDL / HDL Ratio, Is it a big deal
Good Day to every one: My blood work report (as of 12th Dec) revealed as Total Cholesterol 121 (normal) HDL was 48 (OK) LDL was 63 (OK) Triglycerides 78 (good) - due to the reason that this # was way above 200 six months ago. Cholesterol / HDL ratio was 2.5 (seems to be within range).

Low HDL, recommended statins... Experiences?
My cholesterol levels have been monitored closely for the last few years. The concern has been my HDL which has been low and not improved, even with diet. At my last test 4 weeks ago, overall cholesterol was 3.91 mmol/L with my LDL at 2.61 mmol/L (normal) and HDL at 0.76 mmol/L (low)... However, it

Complex Carbs Are Highly Nutritious, but Simple Carbs Are Not

Metabolic Syndrome
One of the things that struck home hard for me at the Neurologists yesterday is he said that studies show that people with metabolic syndrome have a tendency to have their Parkinson's progress faster than those that don't have it. For that reason a healthy life style is of most importance in the treatment

Blood Test Results - Comments Please
Having had my blood tests through the NHS the request for FT3 was not done! Therefore I have had it done privately now. I am considering asking my GP for some T3 as I do not think the Levo is quite working as well as I would like. If any of you more experienced under active thyroid sufferers know of

I'm new here, just got a print out of my blood test results for Thyroid and they also did a Cholesterol tests.
I have an underatcive Thyroid and this was my checkup so asked for the blood results to be printed (thanks to the Thyroid community here). I see they also did Serum lipid level tests and I'm a little concerned on the results although my Doctor did not mention them. I am hoping this is related as since

Good Cholesterol Vs Bad Cholesterol and Factor involved in It
For a long time cholesterol in totality was seen as a bad thing for your body although the truth was a little more complicated than that. Cholesterol primarily is divided into two types, one of which can be categorized as bad cholesterol and the other as good cholesterol. Let's have an in-depth look

Rollercoaster of a Month
Thank you to everyone who commented on my kidney & NSAIDs post. Kidneys were given the ok, slightly inflamed but no damage. The aim was still to reduce NSAIDs but without an alternative, I was struggling and felt I wasn't getting the support. In the end I decided to change rheumatologist and so GP referred

Comments Please on my latest Blood Test Results
I have had the results for my blood test. Unfortunately the blood draw had to be taken at 4.30pm and I had taken my medication (50mcg of Levothyroxine) first thing in the morning then eaten breakfast and dinner. The receptionist advised me that the results are normal except the Cholesterol level which

Non-PCa Prescription Drugs: Metformin
There are well over three thousand PubMed hits for <cancer metformin>, so I suppose there might be something to the rumor that Metformin has anti-cancer properties. LOL. Bottom line: For someone with PCa, I feel that study [6a] trumps all others. Which is why I increased my daily Metformin dose to
