Lipitor side effect symptoms
I am now 68 years old and had been on Crestor and Lipofen for several years. Didn't equate side effects (Symptoms) with using it. First periodically I would experience mild swelling of my hands and weakness in my arms and legs. Cramps in my calves. No equation to the drugs at this time. 5 years

Visceral fat
New study below. But first, some background. There are many PCa studies that report increased mortality in obese men. From a 2014 meta-analysis [1]: "In total, 17 studies, which included 3,569,926 individuals overall, were selected according to predefined inclusion criteria." "... obesity was significantly

High Cholesterol
I went to see my doctor on Friday after having a phone call to say my cholesterol was 7.4, all he was interested in was prescribing statins. I declined the offer and he told me I had a 18% chance of having a heart attack in the next 10 years, he hardly looked at me, whilst doing this. I asked how he

Thyroid gene testing?
I am female, aged 51, and living in the UK. Is there a link between Factor V Leiden and Hypothyroidism, and as I am heterozygote for Factor V Leiden, should I have the D102 Genetic Test to see if I have a thyroid faulty gene. I ask this because my thyroid problem is proving very difficult to treat

Starting NDT now or wait?? High cholesterol worries
Hi all, This is my first post although I have been following the forum for a couple of months now. Love this forum, it's so active and helpful! Now I feel it is time to start asking for help.

Is Vegetable Oil Really Good for You?
(Reuters Health) - Cooking with vegetable oil to reduce saturated fats can lower cholesterol, but it may not help curb the risk of heart disease or add years to your life, U.S. researchers say. Plenty of previous research has linked polyunsaturated fat in vegetable oil, nuts and seeds with a lower risk

Done it
I did my first 5k run just 2 days ago. Can't believe I have actually completed this programme. Now I'll have to do 2 more Week 9 runs - I can't imagine running now without the lovely Laura to give me encouragement.

Statins & PCa Mortality
New meta-analysis below. About 11 years ago my doctor offered me a statin for my "high" cholesterol, which had just risen a little above 200. I refused. I felt that the case against cholesterol was simplistic & that a complex subject had been reduced to one villain - LDL cholesterol. On Monday, I was

Help with Blue Horizon blood test results
Hello, I have just received some blood test results and would be extremely appreciative if anyone could help me with interpreting them. I take 3 grains of Armour daily plus medication for Addison's disease. My limited understanding of my thyroid results would be that they are a little on the low side

Grass fed Goat Meat and shrimps in LCHF
It is said that dietary cholesterol has got very minor impact on blood cholesterol level. How about shrimps??? My own experience is that when ever I consume shrimps...my total cholesterol shoots up. Both LDL and HDL raises.....But HDL more.Ofcoz HDL goes better and better thanLDL. If we say no impact

Is 'LCHF' more useful than 'STATIN' to lower LDL????
Plz correct me if I am wrong..... It is said that 'STATIN' is wonder drug and is helpful for lowering LDL. However, Total Cholesterol = HDL +LDL+ ( Triglycerides/5) Now it is also known fact that by cutting carbs your Triglycerides falls like rock.......also by eating healthy fats and by correcting your

Am I worrying over nothing? FH?
So I bought the book The Great Cholesterol Con. Had a little read through. Can't say I agreed with alot of what he said. He mentioned FH. I couldn't understand what he was saying about it, but he did say something about 5 year olds dying from chd. Well this alarmed me. My uncle at 51 had a heart attack
