Timing of various medications? What do most of you do?
It seems that both
statins
and ACE inhibitors are best given at night while pain meds need to be taken a few hours before pain is at its worst.

We are cured, again (again)
It was originally envisaged that sobetirome could be used to stimulate hepatic pathways that lower cholesterol without harmful side effects and might be used in conjunction with
statins
. Obviously, they didn't bother with Sobetrirome, and just went with
statins
to lower cholesterol levels.

Flu vaccine
the vaccine can cause muscle aches and the radiation of aches from the point or injection to the further away parts of my body seems strange, I’m wondering if the length of time these aches are lasting are down to the heart meds, or whether I’m just having an achy time for some other reason, possibly

Cholesterol and thyroid blood test results
But anyway i have been asked about using
statins
if the need arose and it got worse. But been advised about diet and lifestyle. I do eat rubbish often. Old bad habits after 30 years shift work. Another Cholesterol blood test in 6 months. Thyroid tests again in 7 weeks to make sure is okay

Statins n stents
As other members experienced anxiety and depression after MI stents , had heart attack 6 years ago and feel it’s totally ruined my life . The anxiety attacks are real and totally debilitating and the symptoms mimic heart attack to the letter , I’ve wrap myself in cotton wool I feel , if I do anything

Cholesterol rising after losing 2 stone!
GP ha suggested 20 mg statin but not taken my BP....Feeling deflated as thought weight loss plus exercise would have cracked this...Any ideas please - thinking of giving up red meat and some processed floods, milk butter etc - would it make a difference to avoid the
statins
does anyone think.

Statins Reduce COVID-19 Severity, Likely by Removing Cholesterol That Virus Uses to Infect.
UC San Diego Health researchers recently reported that
statins
— widely used cholesterol-lowering medications — are associated with reduced risk of developing severe COVID-19 disease, as well as faster recovery times.

Is this unusual ?
Next 7 days walked 60 miles - kept getting out of breath. 10 days later no symptoms but went to GP who put me on aspirin and
statins
and referred to cardiology.

diabetes and statins
I have type 2 diabetes and am overweight, now a nurse who has never seen me says I should take
statins
from what I've read,
statins
can cause diabetes, also, my cholesterol levels are fine, so why does she think I need to be on
Statins
?

High ALT linked to Cholesterol?
I have started on low dose
statins
and a low fat diet. Apparently my ALT was raised 4 years ago on a liver function test but this was never mentioned to me.
