Statins
v=0MSNUjQt0u0 I find it fascinating that doctors are aware that
statins
don't work on dialysis patients, even the KDIGO guidelines say not to prescribe them, and yet doctors still will go ahead and lower LDL using
statins
. I know I am on one ...

Statins - get informed and know the risks
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/
statins
/considerations/ For me personally the issue is people are frequently already being treated with
statins
long before a diagnosis of hypothyroidism has ever been made.

Cholesterol rising?
If it is then - given it is a natural consequence -
statins
seems to be the ONLY answer. Is that correct? I also read that
statins
can reverse arterial plaque - is that correct?

Statins and Cholesterol
I have been told that my blood test shows that my Cholesterol is 6.9.Are
statins
and prednisolone compatible? Not enthusiastic about adding any medications into the mix.

Geranylgeraniol (GG), Tocotrienols, Ubiquinol (CoQ10), & statins and their relationship w/ lipids, heart health and APC patient treatments.
The biq question, as I see it, is "what causes
statins
to slow prostate cancer growth/increase CSS mortality?" Is it the direct action of the statin on the cancer, or the effect of the statin lowering cholesterol, which causes the slowing of the cancer?

Low Blood pressure concern
I am taking 1.25mg of both bisoprolol and ramipril amongst others, all in the morning (apart from
statins
at night), but it was suggested to me at the cardiac rehab clinic on Friday that I take ramipril in the evening to spread out the blood pressure lowering meds, and that the ramipril would work better

Bit scared, actually
Doctor told me to stop smoking now, stop alcohol, reduce salt, exercise three times a week and take
statins
and bp meds. I was told that although my ecg was normal, my bloods showed I was worryingly close to a cardiac event. I feel scared but hopeful.

TSH LEVELS
Firstly how do hypothyroid sufferers fair with taking
statins
? I’m arthritic as well as suffering from hypothyroidism Don’t want to take
statins
if it makes me ache more! Has anyone on site taken or take
statins
successfully?? Secondly just had a TSH test. My levels were 0.16.

How long trouble-free?
Due to
statins
, my cholesterol is excellent (total 2.75, , LDL 0.9, HDL 1.2). I have remained disciplined in terms of regular exercise (walk 5 km daily and 3 times a week in the gym strength training), medicines and diet (no meat, no processed food).

statins
I have fibromyalgia, which gives me this, so am hoping
statins
don’t aggravate it. The pharmacist said people don’t realise that
statins
affect magnesium in the body and you need extra. Any thoughts on this?

Pins and needles
Looks like this is quite a well established side effect of
statins
. I am on 80g atorvastatin. Have also just realised it cd be the ramopril.

Cholesterol Levels?
If you have had this happen, were you on medication (
statins
) to lower your cholesterol at the time? Thanks for any info.

very high cholesterol & blood pressure
I really really do not want to go in to
statins
. I’ve got an under active thyroid which I take levothyroxine for. I eat healthy, don’t drink excessively (currently haven’t had a drink for a month). I need to exercise more and I’m also about 20 pounds overweight.

Are statins essential if you are suffering from AF and/or past strokes? And how much is 'good'?
Just seeking some views on what constitutes the 'correct' level of
statins
to take in various situations. I have been taking 10 mg of simvastatine for six months and found this is no problem for me and it has marginally reduced what was a very low LDL cholesterol level in the first place.

statins update
As for brain fog and memory loss, don’t get me started on them 🤣 For years I have believed
statins
were toxic…… well, it turns out they are for me! 3 days of not taking them and I am returning to normal. i am now exploring other options through diet and exercise.
