Has anyone had trouble with different brands of medication
Since 2006 I have suffered from Hashimotos. About two months after I started taking Levothyroxine (in increasing dosage until the level was right) I had horrendous eyelid swelling...so bad I thought I was losing my sight when in fact, the lids had swelled right down over the eyes. I naturally thought

Atorvastatin and anxiety update
Hi, I posted three months ago about having symptoms of anxiety and depression (excessive sweating, loss of appetite, diarrhoea, weight loss, bad dreams, restlessness at night) that I thought might be linked to Atorvastatin. I had been switched from Simvastatin (which I don't think caused any side effects

Which Simvastatin to add?
Husband stoped metforminnafter aevere neck pain and had lactic acid test showed 2.5 repeated test 10 days out still the same but muscle pain is gone.. Dr thinks since he works out with weights and cardio five days a week it can cause lactic level to go up.. also came across article on statins.. He

Off label medication - how to choose
Ian Frizzels recent vlog about his MP's intervention regarding the prescription for Exanatide inspired this post. I hope he contributes. It's unashamedly selfish. Having tried to establish DIP on first diagnosis, I switched to research for disease modifying "new hopes" after the DATscan. My dilemma

Flecainide or statins?
I have been on flecainide 50 mg twice a day since my ablation in August and I also take Simvastatin, Bisopropol , levothyroxine and apixaban. For a few weeks now I have been having aching and painful joints- especially my fingers and hips, and numbness and tingling in my arm and leg- had blood tests

Why I want to research active microbiome therapies for Parkinsons
Why I think the microbiome is key (Stick with it – links to poo coming up…) Having been diagnosed with PD, and offered regular Sinemet therapy, I resolved to look for alternatives and hope for a cure. Dopamine – whilst central to PD and effectively the definition of the disease, appears to be only part

Is Atorvastatin causing my anxiety?
Hi, I was happily on Simvastatin for years, then my GP changed me to Atorvastatin because a blood test showed that my cholesterol was high. A few weeks after starting the Atorvastatin I developed horrible anxiety, bad dreams and my husband says I spend all night jumping around and twitching (no wonder

Bisoprolol and Nasonex (corticosteroid)
I have been on 2.5 mg of bisoprolol for 14 years following a heart attack. I had a stent and was also prescibed 40mg simvastatin, 5mg lisinopril and low dose aspirin. About 10 years ago I dropped the lisinopril as my blood pressure was never really very high and I was developing sinus issues (drip) which

Cholesterol biosynthesis & Enzalutamide resistance
New study below. Looks like Simvastatin might prolong the effectiveness of Xtandi. Some will know that I favor the use of statins to shut off certain escape paths in therapies that involve the androgen receptor axis. In particular, I favor Simvastatin, but other statins that are also highly lipiphilic
