High Cholesterol diagnosis
Had diagnosis of high cholesterol early 2017 and got referred to the Lipid Clinic at hospital. I have been told my LDL Cholesterol is at present 2 times what it should be. The doctor advised taking 10 mg Simvastin or Ezetimibe. I am currently refusing this, as I have heard so much bad stuff about statins

Cholesterol numbers
Hi All Am hoping, as raised cholesterol can be a thyroid symptom, that someone here may be able to help with this? The first set of numbers are from Feb 2018 the second from June 2018. Is that an unremarkable increase or a marked increase? As in has it crept up a little bit or way more than you would

Any advice on oedema of the feet in the heat?
Hi all, I have mild CKD with very few symptoms (stage 3). This current heatwave in the U.K. is playing merry hell with my feet though. My husband says I look like a hobbit :-) my feet are fine when I wake up but by the time I go to bed they are huge and very painful (and in bad days my ankles too). I'm

Relationship between serum cholesterol and Graves' orbitopathy (GO): a confirmatory study
The abstract of this paper is like many others in that it switches between "high cholesterol" and "low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol". Well, perhaps it all makes more sense in the full paper? (Though that is behind a paywall.) Still, the simple observation of an association is interesting and

Hepatic Encepalopathy medications (Lactulose and Rifamixin OR L-ornithine and L-aspartate)
Which medication would be better to treat HE. The doctor is giving my mom L-ornithine and L-aspartate. My mom has HE and is suffering from delusions which are getting worse. I told my sister that Lactulose is a common medication to treat HE as I have read on the internet and told her to ask the doctor
