Fear over risk of CVD / Heart problems
However in May 2023, I again just felt off and decided again to check but this time get a full health check blood test, this is where things got scary, my total cholesterol, my
LDL
cholesterol had both jumped to borderline high, not enough to be on statins, but not in the optimal ranges.

Low Carb, High Fat - Well That Didn't Work Did It!
Recently I had some blood tests done and the results were: HbA1c - no real change (-1 mmol/mol) Cholesterol - total increased from 3.2 to 4.1 with most of the increase being
LDL
(bad) cholesterol.

Microvascular Meds
I have lowered my dose of Atorvastatin to 20mg and will try this alternate days going forward (my
LDL
is really low now) but I wonder if the aspirin in combination could be causing a vasodilation. Has anyone on this combo or similar had any experience of this? Any advice?

Potential underactive thyroid
hi, I’ve had to go private for fertility investigations after loss and have had some more intensive thyroid testing done after the NHS advised no concerns. I’m hoping someone can give me some guidance based on my results as I’m quite lost with what to do/where to go next. TSH levels Oct 2019:

PSA rising during triplet therapy. What to ask the oncologist?
Hello to this wonderfully helpful community, my dad's initial PSA was extremely high (3103), so I don't know what to expect. The treatment has been going for four months and a half since ADT (2 months and a half since Zytiga and Docetaxel was added). He started ADT on December, Zytiga and Docetaxel

LDN and PMR
Almost three months into my use of low-dose naltrexone, in hopes of replacing prednisone eventually, I have learned that the power of LDN to combat inflammation, while real, is much less than prednisone, so that at 10mg of prednisone, LDN's ability to replace or even significantly supplement the steroid

Do natural supplements work to reduce high cholesterol?
I haven't seen the results but my GP mentioned 300 for my
LDL
(bad cholesterol). Interestingly my good cholesterol (HDL) was also high which she found quite surprising. She mentioned taking statins. I declined for various reason which she understood.

Diverticulosis, ER Trip, Phone call with Rheumy
From previous blood work April 28th, Cholesterol is 6.42 (most of it
LDL
). Told them it could be cauda equina which got me seen about 5 hours later, before many many people as Waiting Room was packed to capacity and they were sending the accompanying guests/care givers out.
