Statins
I have had RLS for close to 20 years and it has progressively got worse. I am on Pexola 1mg at night. I had heart surgery six years ago and am on 5mg of Zuvamor as a precautionary measure. Should I rather take my heart medication in the morning as I am now reading that it can affect the RLS?

Hi All, I said to my doctor the other day, this is my first go at 52, therefore I don't know what I know. I had a heart attack 5 years ago and had my main artery stented, apparently all other arteries were fine. They put me on 80MG Statin and 5 MG bisopromol. In the last 6 months due to the fact I generally

Statins.
I recently stopped taking my statin as I found a definite correlation between how well I slept. I have always taken my statin Atorvastatin as prescribed one at night before I go to bed.I could be literally falling asleep and took the statin and hey presto suddenly no longer tired. Plus as it is with

Good morning,
I hope everyone is as well as can be. A little about me. From roughly the age of 18, I could feel something going on in my heart. Eventually I happened to marry someone who’s Mum was a cardiology tech at the Local hospital. I had a really bad run of it one weekend and managed to get a tracing done

prevastatin 10mg
my Doctors have been trying to get my cholesterol down further they tried three statins I asked to try a very low dose ofPrevastatin 10mg started this 4th July. I haven’t experienced any side effects so far that’s good but I am very nervous as I know statins can effect your liver. This last week

Hives on scalp
I haven't posted for a while but I developed Hives on my scalp, few itchy spots on my upper body and itchy ears in February. Was given fexofenadine and lotion which calmed the itching down but never went away, every time I've tried to stop the antihistamine I have to start it again. I've got oral lichen

Antihistamines
Hi. I've been using Nasacort to relieve allergies for a year or so. It seems to be getting less effective. What other antihistamines can RLS sufferers use safely.? Also what statins are O.K.to use? Great group. Lots of information. Thanks. Jim

statins
I’m currently not taking statins. My GP has just called to say we’d like to put you on them, risk of stroke at 15% apparently and anyone over 10 should be treated. I politely said I felt I had enough going on drugwise, without adding another. anyone else any experience of how this would fit with steroids

I’m type 1 diabetic, my whole cholesterol was 4.6 and my bad cholesterol was 3.0 Tried two statins didn’t agree with me, now went to lipid clinic, was put on Rosuvastatin which agrees with me, the only problem is my sugar levels go skyrocketing for a good few hours after i take it. This is concerning

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

I’m confused
So I posted before last year as had been having chest pain and pain in my left shoulder and arm which woke me from sleep on several occasions. I was referred to chest pain clinic at local hospital and tests and scans has revealed a considerable blockage in LAD. I went for angioplasty and they concluded
