11 years and counting, but still not under control
In between all this we've had counselling, for Anxiety, Depression and medication to help, read books and tried exercise, some helped but she has come off all that and now is solely on Thyroxin &
Statins
10mgs. Where do we go from here ? If a Specialist, which one is any good ?

STATINS AND ITCHY SKIN
Hi all. On 20mg atorvastatin. Been on them for 12 months now. Mentioned in my last post about hair loss... Now I'm noticing I'm itching all over??? My body and scalp. Do you think this could be related? Now I've also been prescribed 30mg isosorbide mononitrate about 2 months ago, and it's just

Is somatostatin an anticancer drug?
Many of the skilled contributors in this forum explained that some
statins
are also very effective against prostate cancer too. I would be very grateful if you could help us to find a good solution, maybe for both cancers together? Claud

Advice
on 50mg levothyroxine since September 2006 (started on 25mg in the March 2006) I have never had anything else tested only TSH with my GP, currently TSH is at 3.4 which I am told is in the range (but near the top of the range) I also have a total cholesterol reading of 5.9, which I am now taking

Why take statins when my angiogram came out clear?
My GP now wants me to take
statins
. I want to really concentrate on lowering my bad cholesterol naturally. I understand that
statins
can, among other things, affect your liver! If I already have some sort of liver issue but my arteries are "pristine", why should I take
statins
?

Newly diagnosed and seeking help
My cholesterol had also gone from normal to very high prompting prescription for
statins
. Other blood test results were normal except TSH which was 11.61. GP was reluctant to prescribe Levothyroxine but relented due to my symptoms, prescribing 25 mg/day.

Ezetimibe
The reason I was trying it is because I can't tolerate other
statins
. Does anyone else know about this drug? .

How fast do statins work?
Hello, I was wondering how quickly do
statins
start to work - lower cholesterol? Is 1 week after starting it, long enough for a blood test to show if it works? Thank you

COC Protocol
I am interested in hearing experiences and results with the four drugs prescribed by Care Oncology : Metformin,
statins
, Menbendazole and Doxycycline. I believe Jane Mclelland who wrote the book "How to Starve Cancer". may have used this type of drug cocktail with great success.

Can hyperlipidemia cause Hughes Syndrome?
I have assumed that it has been the
statins
and fibrates that have "unstuck" my blood all this time. Could extreme combined familial hyperlipidemia alone cause "sticky blood" or should I ask for a Hughes Syndrome blood test.

STATINS AND HAIR THINNING
Hello. My question is this.... I have been on Atorvastatin 20mg for a year now. Have no muscle problems whatsoever but have noticed that my hair has got really thin and is coming out. I have changed my diet for the better and take vitamins so I do not think at all it's anything to do with what I eat

High LDL, genetic?
I'm not on
statins
for which I won't go into right now. It has been suggested that my LDL could be genetic and that it could be impossible to control through lifestyle changes alone.
