Utrogeatan and Hashi-soybean lecithin issues?
Hi everyone, I recently started with bioidentixal HRt (oestrodose and Ultrogestan(progesterone). I have hashimotoes so do not eat soy or gluten. Having taken it for about a month I noticed the corners of my inner eyes red and inflamed which is what I get when I consume allergens. On researching I found

High Cholesterol and Hyperthyroidism
I have been diagnosed with high cholesterol 7.04 with my LDL being 5.2 My HDL and Triglyercerides are within range. My diet is very good except I eat good quality dairy and some red meat. I also exercise daily. I take Berberine and a fish oil daily. Diet only contributes about 10% of cholesterol

Cholesterol, Hypothyroidism, Statins
The issue of elevated cholesterol in those with undiagnosed/under medicated hypothyroidism used to be commonly known. Not so now, the information is out there but not sufficiently joined up and prominent in many doctors minds to be a frontline consideration. Thus we need to be well versed so we can

Lp(a) results are in ….
I’ve recently had bloods taken to test for FH and Lp(a) levels. I had a heart attack in 2022 at aged 51 and was started on a whole ton of medications afterwards including Atorvastatin 80mg and then a bit later adding in 10mg Ezetimibe. My LDL cholesterol has not been able to reach the target of 1.4

Plant Sterols
Has anyone found taking plant sterols have reduced their high cholesterol? My fasting blood test shows my LDL is 3.94. Dr insisting I take Atorvastatin. I like to try alternatives first.

Blood pressure medication
Sorry to bother people I am suffering from bad brain fog (or maybe just stupidity ) but I need to go back on medication for high blood pressure and all I can recall is that calcium channel blockers are not suitable but cannot remember which tablets are OK. Any suggestions would be gratefully received

Disopyramide Replacement?
Hi all, I have been on Disopyramide (Rhythmodan Retard 250mg) for the past 5/6 years, but now finding it almost impossible to obtain from the pharmacists in the Wiltshire area, so I am looking for an alternative. Back in January, my GP switched me to Bisprolol, but that didn't work as its rate rather

vimpat / lacosamide stopped fully working
the Vimpat stopped working to completely resolve my RLS. Recent MRIs showed multiple Tarlov cysts on my spine, which is possibly causing the left leg pain and movement. It is positional and separate from the RLS in both legs in my arms and body. I see a new neurosurgeon next week. I’ve had multiple

Interesting research
Just saw this interesting research on DNA cause of inflammatory bowel disease, but they say it might also apply to autoimmune liver diseases. https://amp.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/jun/05/bowel-disease-hope-researchers-find-biological-pathway They hope treatments will be in use within 5

Good News!!!
My dr. approved the buprenorphine for me. I am thinking positive that it will work. She is giving me the patch. I am excited. I have to discontinue the horizant though which surprised me and of course discontinue the oxycodone. Hopefully now you won't have to listen to me complaining and I will

Interesting update for those in the UK whose GP practice has Buprenorphine red listed
Finally, after months of hitting my head against a brick wall with my GP practice, where Buprenorphine is firmly red-listed (and the partners flatly refuse to change their stance, even after being presented with all the research we know about on this site), I have been able to obtain an NHS prescription
