levo with statin
Is it safe for me to use atorvastatin, a statin medication, to lower my cholesterol levels while also taking levothyroxine?

LCHF / IF for August?
Hi all The title means Low Carbohydrate High Fat / Intermittent fasting. Both are ways of eating that can help people loose weight without the need to count calories or eat less and without the need to go hungry. Both ways of eating can also help to ease several health conditions. IF and LCHF work

Plant Sterols for reduction of cholesterol
Not necessarily related to PMR as I have had high cholesterol since I first started having blood tests years ago. My 'good' and 'bad' have always been about the same level. My current GP suggested statins. I declined. She then suggested trying plant sterols. I've ordered a couple pf packs from

Amlodipine v. L-Arginine
I take Amlodipine daily, prescribed for my cardiac condition. Amlodipine is a drug which reduces blood-pressure, isn't it? so ought I to avoid taking L-Arginine, as a supplement , which would also have a B-P lowering effect? I would like to overcome my ED without using Blue Pills, you see.

Statins and Malcolm Kendrick's: The Great Cholestrol Con!
I saw Helvella's post regarding the article in the Guardian on NHS checks; I did post this elsewhere, but I guess would only be visible to folk following the original post, so I thought it may be helpful to post separately. Some on here may well be aware of this work: The work of Malcolm Kendrick

'But you look OK'
I don't look OK, spinal curvature, so I've never had this. Can folks explain to me where the idiots who say this are coming from? Broken limbs, skin conditions, people don't look OK. Systemic conditions, heart, liver, kidneys, GI, people being correctly treated look OK. My SIL has myeloma - but she

Are statins essential if you are suffering from AF and/or past strokes? And how much is 'good'?
Just seeking some views on what constitutes the 'correct' level of statins to take in various situations. I have been taking 10 mg of simvastatine for six months and found this is no problem for me and it has marginally reduced what was a very low LDL cholesterol level in the first place. But my doctor

Greetings
Hello all. I joined this forum today as my doctor has told me I need to get from 87kg, 13.7st, 191.8lb to 70kg. That is a loss of 17kg, 2.7st, 37.5lb. This is assuming my conversions are correct. Recently I was diagnosed with Diabetes T2, Metabolic Syndrome, and Multifactorial chylomicronemia syndrome

I've signed up for Tim Spector's ZOE study looking at blood sugars and gut health
I've long had an interest in how the foods we eat affect inflammation and weight and generally follow low -carb eating, although I often lapse and am not as diciplined as Id like to be. So this sounds fascinating to me, especially as I'm also interested in gut-health science. Taking part starts by

magnesium, potassium, taurine combo supplement?
I was doing some research and came across this plan which suggests taking the above 3 supplements. I'm aware magnesium has been discussed and recommended but wasn't ware of the combination. Does anyone take all 3 or have any links to other articles regarding the benefits? Does anyone have a UK source

Prednisone and Blood Sugar Levels
I am wondering what other member’s experience has been with prednisone and increasing A1c levels? I had been very consistently in the normal range for long term blood sugar levels until I started the prednisone last August. Since the prednisone, my levels have gradually crept up into the pre-diabetic

Help with Keto
Hi everyone. I'm Paul from Birmingham. I'm new to this group. Following recent bloods (I have RA) my Rheumatology nurse called me and advised that I was pre diabetic. She told me about a low carb diet and sent me some information to get me started. I was quite alarmed by the diagnosis and decided to

Hashimotos Disease and Diabetes type 2
I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes type 2. I’m active, not overweight and eat a very healthy diet. I understand that a side effect of Levothyroxine could possibly be responsible for glucose resistance. Does anyone have any further information? 🦋
