Hypothyroid, Cardiac syndrome x and low ferritin
I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid TSH 20.9 (0.3-5.5) Serum Free T4 7.9 (11.5-22.7) 8 months ago by a new GP who said my thyroid would have been underactive for 'some time'. About 18 months before this I began to have 'angina' like pain. I experience a crushing feeling in my chest and deadness

Simvastatin and Tildiem
What's this all about? Received a memo from my GP stating that mixing Simvastatin and Tildiem can cause muscle aches and pains and they're switching me to Atorvastatin!! How many times have I told them that it was Atorvastatin that caused my muscle weakness?? I know having Fibro doesn't help but do

Are you on STATINS too?
A few months ago my GP urged me to start taking statins to help keep my Cholsterol low. As soon as I started I found that the daily dose of Warfarin needed to keep me near to an INR of 3.5 fell from 9mg to 8mg. A week or so ago, due to a medical scare, the doctors asked me to increase my Statin daily

STRESSED ABOUT HIGH CHOLESTEROL
I was started to Simvastatin a number of years ago after diet changes did do anything to my levels. Simvastatin did not bring my levels down at all so was put on Lipitor 20mg but when my levels were still not coming down significantly it was combined with Ezetimibe 10mg. My levels came down from

Statins
I have just read a very interesting article due to be published in Wednesday's Daily Mail about statins and sleep. It appears the statin Simvastatin has been linked with causing both sleep disturbance and weight gain. I am on this statin and suffer from both these things. I would be interested in hearing

Have been told to take Stanol by consultant, not having much luck finding it. Anyone heard of it?
First lipid consultation yesterday has left me reeling! All too much too fast and would appreciate some perspective if anyone has any advice to offer. LDL 5.2, overall 7.3. Had to stop simvastatin, have a genetic muscle problem. Consultant changed blood pressure tablets, told me to stop eating practically

Possible side effects since moving on to generic atorvastatin - continue or stop taking meds?
Hi everyone. I only discovered Heart UK a few days ago, and have already received a wealth of useful diet information. I'd like some advise regarding (possibly) coming off statins, I'll try to keep this as short and to the point as possible! I'm 42, male, and have been taking Lipitor 20mg (atorvastatin

He's referred me to a lipid clinic but I've no idea what to expect. I've tried to start eating healthy by lowering the saturated

Lack of knowledge and awareness of APS amongst the medical profession. Region-Northwest of England
Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with APS in 2007 following 3 DVTs and a bilateral Pulmonary Emobolism. My long term medication consists of Warfarin and 40mg Simvastatin daily. My INR range is between 3-4 but very rarely meets this reading despite weekly blood tests. These tests are made up of venous

Dispersible Aspirin 75mg tablets
My doctor has put me on these in additon to Fenofibrate. On the leaflet with the tablets it states "Refrain from alcohol when taking these tablets" By no means am I a drinker, but I do like a glass of wine with meals and maybe a couple of pints at the weekend. Does this mean I can no longer do this?

My visit to the lipid clinic
I went last Thursday to get the results of a blood test and the doctor confirmed that I do have Type 111 hyperlipidaemia. so he changed my medication form Bezalip mon which I have been on for years and relaced it with Fenofibrate and soluble aspirin (both once daily). My cholesterol figer has reduced
