Borderline results. Can I do anything to stop underactive thyroid?
I was referred to lipid clinic 2 years ago for high cholesterol which has been monitored as I had high good cholesterol result. It has lowered but at my last visit consultant says he is monitoring my thyroid results as they are borderline but my antibodies are ok. He says there is nothing I can do to

Cholesterol Test 4 months ago
Hi I am new here- I went to the doctors to get some help with stopping smoking - I had a session of hypnotherapy by a doctor in the doctors surgery ( more of relaxation and going to a place in my head that is calming and a pressure point for when I had a craving) - I am pleased to say that along with

How diet changed my life
In December 2014 my wife Ella and I were enjoying a holiday in Sri Lanka and that's when I noticed feeling tired. It's not that I was falling asleep all the time but I just didn't seem to have the extra energy that I should have had considering I was on holiday. I expect to be tired when I'm working

Is a Normal TSH Synonymous with “Euthyroidism” in Levothyroxine Monotherapy?
Maybe there is a distinct lack of references to diogenes' papers, but yet another paper which questions universal levothyroxine monotherapy. [If already posted, let me know and I will delete this duplication.] [i]Is a Normal TSH Synonymous with “Euthyroidism” in Levothyroxine Monotherapy? Sarah J.

Has anyone tried the NHS/BHF on line heart age calculator?
I put my details into the on line calculator and was completely astonished by the result. It concluded that my heart age is 18 years older than my actual age!!! One of the questions is "Have you ever suffered from AF?"...so I confirmed in the yes box. I put all the same details in again, this time answering

UNDERACTIVE THYROID AND STATINS
Hi all I have just been diagnosed as being a type 2 diabetic (just on the very border) and have had a cholesterol test done on the orders of the GP. It was a non-fasting one but it came back at 5.8 - no idea of the breakdown into HDL/LDL as the surgery did not ask for that to be done. I have to see

Extensive Plaque build up in LAD from a CT Calcium Score Result
Hi: My Cholesterol test results have always been perfect. I am 71 and has treated Type 2 Diabetes for some 30 years. My blood pressure is perfect and well controlled. Can you tell me why I have this extensive plaque? Is it caused by my smoking 3 rolled tobacco smoke a day? I have never experienced

New study below [1]. Today's NY Times front-page story - [2]. The article is good, as far as it goes, but is misses some background. So many bad things about dietary advice in the U.S. over the past 60 years can be traced back to Ancel Keys. [3] I was amused to read in the 2nd paragraph of
