Anybody try LDN?
I was wondering if anyone has tried low dose naltrexone (LDN) for their PMR? My Functional Medicine GP has said that she has successfully treated many of her patients with a variety of conditions using this medication at very low doses. I am sure my Rheumatologist would not agree to prescribing since

Preventing Heart Disease When You Have Rheumatoid Arthritis: Which Tests Do You Need?
A lipoprotein panel should yield several numbers: total cholesterol,
LDL
cholesterol (the “bad” kind, which contributes to the buildup of plaque in your arteries), HDL cholesterol (the “good” kind, which helps remove
LDL
from your arteries), and triglycerides (another type of blood fat).

GP and Cardiologist Disagree On Statins
After bloods tests, he wanted me on statins and BP meds (BP is -140ish/90 and
LDL
of 159. Normal HCL, triglycerides, normal blood sugar. My Calcium test scored was 1.4 which is not 0 but it's barely over the threshold into the minimal category.

Treatments for Hashimotos antibodies
Hi all, I have already gone gluten free and have started supplementing properly particularly with selenium to lower my Hashimotos antibodies, just been upped on levothyroxine to 100mg to get my TSH under 2.5 as I will be trying to conceive soon.

More on SAD and keto
I haven’t had a problem with alcohol, just the standard American diet ie SAD diet. It’s pretty standard in keto world that HDL goes up and triglycerides go down. When you go low carb you almost invariably go high fat. Thus it would seem to me to lower the saturated fat in blood plasma keto is the way

Cholesterol levels, what's the latest advice?
After my heart attack 8 years ago I was put on Atorvastatin 80mg. I was 65. I asked my consultant what my levels should be and he said as long as my total cholesterol was comfortably below 4 mmol/l he was happy. After a bit of experimentation I found that 40mg kept me at a total Chol3.6, HDL1.64, LDL1.6
