Lipitor side effect symptoms
I am now 68 years old and had been on Crestor and Lipofen for several years. Didn't equate side effects (Symptoms) with using it. First periodically I would experience mild swelling of my hands and weakness in my arms and legs. Cramps in my calves. No equation to the drugs at this time. 5 years

Statins & PCa Mortality
New meta-analysis below. About 11 years ago my doctor offered me a statin for my "high" cholesterol, which had just risen a little above 200. I refused. I felt that the case against cholesterol was simplistic & that a complex subject had been reduced to one villain - LDL cholesterol. On Monday, I was

High Cholesterol
I went to see my doctor on Friday after having a phone call to say my cholesterol was 7.4, all he was interested in was prescribing statins. I declined the offer and he told me I had a 18% chance of having a heart attack in the next 10 years, he hardly looked at me, whilst doing this. I asked how he

Thyroid gene testing?
I am female, aged 51, and living in the UK. Is there a link between Factor V Leiden and Hypothyroidism, and as I am heterozygote for Factor V Leiden, should I have the D102 Genetic Test to see if I have a thyroid faulty gene. I ask this because my thyroid problem is proving very difficult to treat

Grass fed Goat Meat and shrimps in LCHF
My own experience is that when ever I consume shrimps...my total
cholesterol
shoots up. Both LDL and
HDL
raises.....But HDL more.Ofcoz HDL goes better and better thanLDL. If we say no impact of dietary cholesterol on blood cholesterol than why such things happen??

Starting NDT now or wait?? High cholesterol worries
Hi all, This is my first post although I have been following the forum for a couple of months now. Love this forum, it's so active and helpful! Now I feel it is time to start asking for help.

Done it
I did my first 5k run just 2 days ago. Can't believe I have actually completed this programme. Now I'll have to do 2 more Week 9 runs - I can't imagine running now without the lovely Laura to give me encouragement. My daughters have both completed Couch 2 5k and I was inspired to have a go when I was

Am I worrying over nothing? FH?
So I bought the book The Great Cholesterol Con. Had a little read through. Can't say I agreed with alot of what he said. He mentioned FH. I couldn't understand what he was saying about it, but he did say something about 5 year olds dying from chd. Well this alarmed me. My uncle at 51 had a heart attack
