Post test results for Ezetrol 10 mg
I promised my partner, my heart specialist to test this product in order to lower my supposedly high cholesterol (total chol. 7,74; HDL :1,66; LDLc: 5,4; Tri.:1,49 mmol) . As I couldn't put up with terrible cramp with Atorvastine I was to try the Ezetrol, so I did a 2 month trial. This is what happened

The second time it happened, the thumping continued and I felt really

Statins
Hi My husband has A/F, he has no symptoms, it was detected by chance, when going for a pre op for a small operation, he’s 72, he’s on warfarin, bisoprolol, ramipril & a statin. With all the bad press about statins, we were wondering if you guys out there with A/F, take statins. His cholesterol level

LWMDR results --- After Lab Test
The blood test was taken on 7th March 2015 and the FBS and PPBS were shooting up to 190 and 230 respectively in April 2015. By end of April 2015, I decided to try out LWMDR , with the idea of bringing the sugar values under control, "to start with". I started LWMDR on 28th April 2015. Inbetween, twice

Cholesterol con and more
Hi there, just back after a few weeks of reading the Cholesterol Con book; although I really enjoyed reading the book and I feel that he has a lot of common sense and relative truths in his favor, however I'm still anxious about not doing anything to lower the LDL levels. So having seen a heart specialist

Did all the 'right' things and cholesterol got MUCH worse?!
Last July my total cholesterol was 5.2, LDL 3.9, HDL 1.6, Trigs 0.22. I had been taking Liptor 10mg every other day, but even that small amount was causing unacceptable side-effects (yes, I tried other kinds too), so I stopped. I lost 50lbs, started exercising moderately/intensively for a minimum of

Hair loss is really upsetting me! Any info pls? :'(
I've lost half of my hair and it's not stopping! The Endo and GP are doing nothing! I've read that Levothyroxine and other synthetic thyroid meds are linked to hair loss too! Now I am afraid to take recommended dose, because when I wasn't on any meds, my hair wasn't falling out as bad as now! Is NDT
