Cholesterol best values, latest scientific studies
I have total
cholesterol
at 250,
HDl
at 60 and LDl at 190, triglycerides at 100, (values corresponding to Spain). The latest scientific studies say that I have very good values to live many years but the doctors say that I am very bad and I have to take statins.

High cholesterol
I have recently signed up the Our Future Health programme. I was invited along for a blood test and a finger prick cholesterol test. The cholesterol result came back as 10.14 and I was told to go to my GP. I had a cholesterol blood test at my doctors surgery in July and it came back as 6.1. I thought

Advice on blood results please- why no improvement in T3?
hi everyone, advice welcome for my recent Medichecks test please. I introduced 6.5mcg of T3 in September and took my levo down to 75/100 on alternate days, I hoped this would increase my % of T3 as I am a poor converter and have two copies of faulty DIO2 gene. I also hoped this increase in T3 would

Blood test and elevated ALT concerned
However my cardiologist is reluctant to change even my total
cholesterol
is 2.1 LDL 0.8 Tri 0.7
Hdl
1.0 I am 44,quite fit always and now I am doing good diet, exercises and walk regularly. Does statin elevate ALT? Should I request for further testing?

What's in a word?
I recently attended a Primary Care Network meeting as a patient, and in talking about
cholesterol
, referred to
HDL
. Admonished for using jargon, I then said high-density lipoprotein: that resulted in blank looks. Perhaps it's not easy to convert medical-speak into plain English.

Euthyroid Sick Syndrome
Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has been diagnosed with Euthyroid Sick Syndrome or thinks they may have it? I am now beginning to think that my problems are due to this and not Hypothyroidism. Am thinking of getting a reverse T3 test but it's quite expensive.This cannot be treated with meds so

Triglycerides
I’m very pleased to say my total cholesterol has gone from 6.4 to 4.6 from March this year to August. I worked hard with diet mainly and exercise. However my triglycerides weren’t included in this blood test. Has anyone found that due to their thyroid problems that their triglycerides are raised?
