Hello everyone.....
As of last Friday, my doctor has put me on
statins
to reduce my cholesterol level and also a daily low dose of Asprin. He said this was for prevention of HA and stroke, as I've never had one. I had Mild Diffuse Coronary artery disease diagnosed when I was 28, and it showed mild atherosclerosis.

statins
for life.

Statins
Are most RA patients on
statins
? The rheumatologist has never mentioned them. My GP surgery recently asked me to attend an RA health check . A surprise as they never have done before. He did bloods for cholesterol, diabetes and something else which I can’t remember . Blood pressure, weight etc.

Utterly confused.......
The meds prescribed were Metformin and
Statins
. Looking at ways to reverse it, the information is opposite to what SN was. With SN, it was natural food only, no processed, so real cheese, butter, cream, full-fat Greek yogurt - all correctly portioned out of course.

Any suggestions for how to improve my poos
I expect this is probably being caused by the cocktail of meds I am taking - Methotrexate, Prednisone , Omeprazole, folic acid, Alendronic Acid,
statins
, and Vitamin D. However, I am wondering if there is anything I could be doing to improve this? Suggestions gratefully received.

statins & underactive thyroid
The nurse asked how I felt about going on
statins
although she said I am low risk due to my lifestyle & diet. I’m not keen on going on
statins
because I heard that they are not good to take if you have an underactive thyroid.

Looks Like My Cholesterol Is High, Yikes
I'm sure my GP will eventually get the report and be urging me to go on
statins
which I'll be declining. Will the fact I'm on T4/ T3 combi help. T3 cant make cholesterol worse can it? Very alarmed.

BP Still too high. Meds include, Ramapril. Bisoprolol. Sertraline. Omeprazole.
Statins
have been suggested, but we decided to see if we could bring that down with changes to lifesyle at first. I did have a reading of 7.3 twently years ago however. So these levels are pretty much unchanged. Any advice on what may work to get my BP down from anyone with a similar experience?
