Elevated cholesterol but no signs of inflammation?
I have closely followed all the debates about statins, and sugar vs. saturated fat, and am a believer that the pharmaceutical industry has vastly overplayed the benefits of statins. I have been on statins for the past eight years, but decided to give myself a break from them, and came off them for seven

Fed up of being messed about by the NHS
About a year ago I had a couple of nasty skin infections so I went to the GP for antibiotics and she ran a comprehensive set of tests. As it was before christmas, I didn't bother ringing up for the results but went back because I still had a boil and saw a trainee GP who told me my cholesterol was 8.2

Does anyone know if it is safe to scuba dive with enlarged spleen, portal hypertension and varices?
I have auto immune hepatitis which has led to cirrhosis, portal hypertension and varices (these are small and have never needed banding). I'm going to Egypt at the end of January (having finally found insurance!) and was wondering if anyone knows anything about scuba diving with an enlarged spleen and

Cholesterol still high, why?
Despite following all the rules about diet & exercise, my LDL levels are 4.5, & my HDL 2. I can`t understand why. I`m female, 61, non smoker with a family history of heart disease, & I`m scared stiff despite the practice nurse telling me that it`s no big deal. I tried statins, but they didn`t suit me

Spoke to soon!
I posted last week that my cholesterol was down to 4.5, well i had an appointment with the practice nurse yesterday, & she said that was just the LDL level. My overall cholesterol is just as high as it was before, & now I`m despairing of ever getting it back to normal. The nurse said that it`s nothing

Spreading the Word
I have just come back from a GP appointment to get some more cholestagel. He asked if I would mind speaking to a fifth year medical student and he left the room. What an opportunity to tell the next generation of doctors about statin side effects, risk versus benefits, the disparity of genetic testing

Duloxetine
Does anybody know if it is alright to take Duloxetine at the same time as Levothroxine, my chemist says it is fine, but just thought, I would ask for any advice. I take them first thing in the morning, I can,t take the Duloxetine late in the day as it keeps me awake. I also take 10mg of Amitriptyline

What are the latest NHS guidelines for home blood pressure monitoring?
I was told by my doctor to take it twice a day [I think she said random times, not sure on that] and take it twice/three times with a minute or two in between. Then choose the lowest number and to do this for a week, working out an average reading. NOW she says goalposts have changed and to take 2 readings

£650.00 health check on NHS?, cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure? Please read the health section on the copy of Sunday Mail.
Result: Action required My cholesterol test gives me a slightly raised level of 5.53. I’m confused as Diana is vegetarian and I’m hardly overweight at 6ft 3in with a size 34 waist. But we eat far too much cheese and lashings of butter. It’s no disaster – I’ve no family history of heart problems. I’
