Cholesterol prevention Lequio Inqlisiran offered by GP
I have Atrial Fibrilation and pacemaker fitted, and therefore I know that there is a higher risk of stroke, so I had tried
statins
, but found that bad s/e were making symptoms of my Fibromyalgia much worse and I stopped it.

Blood tests
I was told by my GP that this could be because of the
statins
I am on so she recommended that I come off these and have a blood test again in a months time. So in December I had blood tests and was told that my ALT had normalised.

Help boosting thyroid without medication?
Hello all I have posted before as my thyroid function is poor but always comes back in range (my TSH never rises even with low levels) so no chance of medication on the NHS (other than
statins
for high cholesterol which I refuse).

Atorvastatin + Asprin
I completed my first week of
Statins
and Asprin, and I have to say I feel awful. I am getting an array of side effects. I'm sure some of you had this but I wanted to know do these calm down as your body adjusts or is it wise to call my doctor Monday and ask for a change.

Statins! Oh the pain
Hi I have been on
statins
since having my HA in late August in Turkey on holiday. I was put on Turkish drugs and apart from fatigue I was fine on these. I have since been on Atorvstatin 80mg but I have suffered really badly with aching legs and arms.

Interesting study on combination of statins and metformin in high-risk patient outcomes
I'd been on
statins
forever (hyperlipidemia), but added metformin when the rumor went around (Snuffy Myers I believe) that it did good things for PCa patients.

stubborn hypertension
Then put on
statins
and clopidogril and an increase of Ramipril and new med Felodopine as BP had increased. Still trying to get it down under 140/90, nearly there, losing a stone and a half helped. Should do more exercise. Hoping for better results next week when it is checked.

UK General Election. Campaign for better Treatment of RLS
Iron therapy, including iron infusions should be available as first line treatment and GPs should know the extensive list of medications that actually trigger and worsen RLS, including anti depressants, sedating anti histamines,
statins
, beta blockers and PPI meds.
