So I saw my new GP again on Tuesday. He took a scan of a letter from my medical folder to add to his notes on me, then made me appointments for blood test (next week) and lipid clinic. He warned me that I should ask for a copy of my blood test results because the test lab and clinic are at different

Thinking of discharging myself from lipid clinic
Due to go to the clinic in April, but I am seriously thinking of not going as it seems so pointless. I know exactly what will happen, they will take my blood pressure, weigh me and then I will be given a lecture on taking statins which I am refusing to take because of bad side effects. My condition

Did anyone see article in Evening Standard on 2 January : The Constant Dieter written by Lucy Cavendish?
This article on dieting suggests that the Intermittent Fasting Diet 'has been proven by the Horizon TV programme to reduce weight...and to bring down cholesterol levels'. I could not resist a comment: Lowering cholesterol levels is one thing and keeping the level down is another. The Horizon reporter

Merry Christmas and update
Hi All, I hope that we can all find the strength to overcome our individual gremlins and have a good Christmas be it with family, friends or in the peace and quiet of our own homes. I've gone from feeling really positive a few weeks back to feeling just lame and lethargic. This week I have gone back

Connection Between Hypothyroidism and High Cholesterol?
Although I have a good diet, and am not overweight, without meds my cholesterol is high. One GP tells me there is no connection between an underactive thyroid and high cholesterol, another says there is. Since April of this year I have been on Atorvastatin, until I read the leaflet which tells me
