PBC and Cholesterol
My total cholesterol level has shot up to 6.39. My internist wants me on a statin (Atorvastatin) with it's many negative side effects. I've been researching other cholesterol lowering medication options and many sites (including the Mayo Clinic) list bile acid sequestrants - including Cholestyramine

Neurologist in South of England
Hi fellow RLS people. Can anyone suggest a private neurologist in UK preferably South of England who will prescribe opioids? My doctor didn’t want to prescribe codeine (although had done so in the past). In the past I have also tried DA, gabepentin, clonazepam, amitriptiline, and some sleeping tablets

experiences of armour?
hi all - I had my appointment with a thyroid U.K. recommended doctor. I’ve been worried for a while about availability of thyroid S and the changing strengths between batches amongst other things. Felt more comfortable being under someone that can prescribe NDT or T3 going forwards. Especially as

Clear blue test with evap line but looks like a positive... I GOT MY PERIOD SO IT OBVIOUSLY WAS A NEGATIVE.
I purchased a 2 pavk of clear blue pregnancy test the first one had a very faint line almost making think was it an early positive. I decided to take the second test first thing the following morning. Within 3 minutes it wasn't a perfect + sign but I literally swore I had to be pregnant. I looked online

Apixaban and iron
I am taking Apixaban 5mg bd and iron bisglycinate 60mg. Is the iron reducing the effectiveness of the Apixaban and vice versa? If so, what is the solution to raising the ferritin levels?

CLL Progressing To Next Stage
Today I had a phone consult with my haematologist who informed me CLL has progressed and that at my next appt in 6 weeks’ time he’d discuss with me my options I have to confess to being largely ignorant about the disease (call it burying my head in the sand) and wondered what these options/treatments

**sensitive post** OTD pregnancy result
Hi all, I took my pregnancy test on Monday (my OTD) and managed to wait without any prior testing and to my shock it was a clear positive.

Rheumie appt. - Speechless!
I have just returned from my 6 monthly appt with my Rheumatologist. She was talking ‘at me’ before I’d even sat down. Maybe I was rude but I interrupted her and said “Good Morning”. I have reduced to 4.5 mgms Pred and thought she would be pleased by this, but she asked why I was not off Pred altogether
