Liver test results normalised with gut microbiome approach
I saw the liver specialist on Thursday and my liver test results have completely normalised. I did a trial with a naturopath with gut micriobiome testing, supplementation and dietary change based on that testing and a follow-up micriobiome test 3 months later. My intestinal permeability has healed and

drug interactions
An FYI for those of you on Ibrance and Simvastatin. Unfortunately I had a bad reaction to the combination of these 2 meds. Despite the fact that I’ve been taking them for 6 years with no problems, last week I developed what’s called Rhabdomyolosis. It basically causes muscle breakdown. CK levels are

Statin Use Is Associated with Better Prognosis of Patients with Prostate Cancer after Definite Therapies:
A new meta-analysis of statin use and prostate cancer-specific mortality [PCSM] and all-cause mortality [ACM], below [1]. The analysis included 24 studies with 369,206 individuals. It has been known for a century that solid tumors accumulate cholesterol. That may be reason enough to initiate statin

rosuvastatin.
Hello again. Having had horrible side effects on atorvastatin and simvastatin, the stroke consultant wants me to try rosuvastatin 5mg 3 times a week. Has anyone any experience of this statin as an intermittent dose ? Doc and consultant just do not want to give up on the statins… thanks.

ENTRESTO 49/51 (+ Bisoprolol, Eplerenone, Aspirin, Simvastatin, Omeprazole, Dapagloflozin, Furosemide, Mexiletine).
My husband (79) has been on Entresto for nearly 2 years. Has no energy or strength and is tired most of the time with breathing problems after a very short walk in the garden. Hasn't seen cardiologist or had his EF checked since prescription issued. GP will not change any medication cos of heart problems

Latest Consensus on Omega-3, Aspirin & Curcumin?
So in finishing up my deep dive into supplements, these were the three I had the most trouble making any definitive personal conclusions about so I wanted to do a review before putting them to bed to get any last input. My general feeling is without well-designed long-term studies (not retrospective

CoQ10 Good or Bad? Necessary? Reaching a Conclusion, Coenzyme Q10, Statins, Prostate Cancer
I've reached the point of exhaustion on research. I feel I have a good a reasonable good grasp on everything, except CoQ10. And interestingly out of all the drugs and supplements discussed in this forum it is one discussed relatively much less than virtually all the other supplements and drugs. It's

Really bad neck and upper back pain only two days in of taking simvastatin 20mg/day
I did try atorvastatin nearly a year ago and got muscle and joint pain within a few days, then I stopped taking them.

Review of Top 10 Prescribed Drugs and Their Interaction with Dental Treatment
Yet another paper which hints at quite a bit - bit then is behind a paywall. If anyone has access, just knowing the outline of what they say could be very interesting. We have had many question the impact of thyroid issues on their teeth and dental treatment. [i]Dent Clin North Am. 2016 Apr;60(2):

Hashimoto's, levothyroxine intolerance. Help please anyone?
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in February 2021, following a routine blood test, and put on 25mcg levothyroxine and was fine. In June 2021 my dose was increased to 50mcg. Again, I thought I was fine, although in hindsight, I think I may have been having side effects, but due to working etc missed

Numb feeling in toes
I’ve recently started having a numb feeling in my toes. I notice it more at night, in bed, but I think it’s there in the daytime too - just not so conscious of it. Toes are not cold. Could it be a side effect of Bisoprolol? (I take 2:5 in the morning / also Ramipril 5mg, Simvastatin 40 mg, Ranexa 375
