I saw a consultant recently who wanted me to take Ezetimibe and Rosuvastatin (I had a heart attack 4 yrs ago and two stents inserted in one artery). I refused. I stopped taking Atorvastatin (10mg) about a year ago and the powers that be don't like it! Instead, I'm taking 7000mg of Beetroot extract and

Is FH as dangerous as we're lead to believe ?
I've posted about this study before, but as there are a fair number of new people on the board, it's worth repeating because it's one of the few studies that attempts to look at what happens in familial hypercholesterolemia without selection for early cardiovascular disease. To explain this simply

total confusion
So I went to see a so called top doctor in Belgium the other day, supposedly one of the best. Before going there, I had extensive labs done (blood and 24 h urine). I feel pretty well overall, work full-time, lead a normal life...I feel tired from time to time, but who doesn't...?! Anyway, it seems

Dr Shirine Boardman
I understand that Dr Boardman is happy for her name to appear in postings. Has anyone been referred to her via their NHS GP rather than privately? I'm seeing my GP next week and am hoping the opportunity will arise for me to ask for a referral. I'll be discussing: 1) results of MRI head scan to determine
