Disappointment at a Consultation
So I saw the consultant and basically nothing's changed. TC 5.0mmol/L, LDL 3.7 (target 4.2), HDL 1.0, Tri 0.3, all within 0.1 of last year IIRC. I've put on a little weight and waist and my CK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatine_kinase) levels are up, but I was borderline-underweight before and those

Statins and SLE - which statins are safe to use with SLE?
Having High Cholesterol of 8.2 and a host of AI conditions I was prescribed Simvastatin. After 6 weeks of muscle pain, fatigue and finally shingles (which has subsequently lasted 4 mths) I stopped taking Simvastatin. My GP just said "stop taking it then" and hasn't suggested an alternative..... Is there

The Test Approaches
I see the consultant in March and now it's February so I start thinking about the blood test more. For various reasons, it's going to be further ahead of the appointment than usual, so I'm now trying to make sure there are no significant gaps in my medication, diet or exercise for a week or two, to see

I only ask this question because I am experiencing troublesome side effects very similar to simvastatin, mostly painful muscle cramps and very disturbing dreams, since I have been taking fibrates. Husband also says I underwent personality changes but this could have been stress over Christmas and lack

Wondering what to do about a possible side-effect (multiple Qs)
I joined this site after I had two strange lumps appear in under a month. They were red, smooth, slightly raised and a bit under 1cm across. The first lump was diagnosed by a GP as an infected hair follicle and he put me on high-dose ibuprofen to deal with the swelling. The swelling stopped hurting

Thyroid Prescriptions In England - 2009
The world of thyroid opened to me a few years ago when someone very close plummeted into the hell of severe hypothyroidism. Since then there is an imperative to try to help other thyroid sufferers.
