Cholesterol 7.5 and can't take medication.
My digestive system just won't cope with medication. My cholesterol is 7.5 and mostly the bad sort. The practice nurse says it is genetic and all I can do is eat lots of oily fish to build up the good cholesterol. I tried the fasting diet ( 500 calories 2 days a week). I only managed one day and don't

The Effect of Exercise on Cholesterol Levels
So after all the reregistrations and referrals (see my past blog posts), I finally reached the hospital lipid clinic about on time, a year after my last appointment at my previous clinic. I find hospitals profoundly irritating and badly-designed places and thanks in part to the confusing map they posted

Confused by cardiologists arguing over the role of cholesterol in causing cardiovascular disease?
Sometimes I feel very confused by some cardiologists debunking the role of cholesterol in cardiovascular disease. Just came across this well balanced and very informative article. http://wp.me/p2urWY-ow

24 hour Urine collection.
I have CKD stage4/5. I have just had a Fistula made a couple of weeks ago but getting different opinions from the doctors. Kidney function is 15%. Now, I am told because I am only 4.11 tall or short, My readings may not be accurate due to less muscle mass than a taller person. I now need to do a 24 hour

Travelling by Car with Oxygen Cylinders, is there any restrictions on the amount you can carry in a vehicle.
Hi, i have recently posted on another thread about getting out and about more, maybe for a short holiday. I suffer from Neurofibramatosis and Pulmonary Hypertension, and therefore require 12 litres of oxygen per minute 24 hours a day. We would like to know if there are any restrictions etc on carrying

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
