Test results and what to ask my GP
My results showed not just high cholesterol, but also: Serum TSH 8.7 Serum free T4 12.8 So there's a note about me being subclinical hypothyroid and another about
statins
. So I'm guessing the GP is just going to want to put me on
statins
.

I mention the
statins
as a couple of people who I've spoken to have told me similar stories of other people.

PMR and statins
He was then put on
statins
, and every week for the last three he has had a flare, not sure if it’s coming off them, even though he has come off by slow tapering, or could it be the
statins
? Hence he is now back on 2mg daily. Wondered if anyone else has had any problems with
statins
?

Statins
I suggested the issue may be the
statins
but that was dismissed as he said if it was, it would affect all my muscles and not just my arm and back. Has anyone else experienced this and is he right, would the pain not just be restricted to certain areas?

NICE guidance on statins
I recall seeing a reference to NICE guidance suggesting that
statins
should not be prescribed unless hypothyroidism has been eliminated. I’m struggling to find it and should be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. Many thanks

Do Drs get a bonus for prescribing certain drugs ?
Does anybody know if Gps get a hand out for prescribing
statins
? There has been a lot of controversy in regard to this topic. Late yesterday afternoon I had a call from my surgery. It was a Dr I had never heard of or had I spoken to her before. She was suggesting I were put on
statins
!

I’m afraid to stop

Statins and Hydroxychloroquine
Has anyone ever experienced a reaction when taking

low TSH higher cholesterol
My father was unwell on
statins
so I am anti. Should I increase my levo and still refuse
statins
as it seems that would be logical for me. My diet is healthy, although I am not totally gluten free, I don’t buy or eat much bread but do cook from scratch.

Adding calcium in order to strengthen bones
I do take vitamin K2 Question 2: Will
statins
do anything for my heart health? A low cholesterol count doesn't mean less calcification as I understood and I am not sure
statins
will lower cholesterol levels.

Cholesterol Help Please?
Doctor rang me a few minutes ago going on about my liver enzymes that are creeping up and my cholesterol, she said that was high at 7 and wanted to give me
statins
to which I refused point blank, I told her
statins
had almost disabled my brother until he managed to get off them.
