introduction
I did have good support from GP, who requested urgent liver scan when
statins
caused problems and 6 mth blood tests. However the receptionist now insists I see locum GPs for reviews of
statins
due to leg pain -I now feel dumped by both secondary and primary care.

Cholesterol level and Q Risk
I'm very sensitive to meds of any kind so don't want to take
statins
. Any opinion about the Q risks please and how others view them?

starting statins and blood thinners
I just found out that I had a silent stroke in the past according to a recent MRA. I am starting a med that keeps platelets from sticking together and a statin. I am scared to death of the side effects. Any advice?

High Cholesterol
Obviously I will be contacting the dr for more information, but just wondered if anyone experienced high cholesterol caused by underactive thyroid and if thyroid medication reduced cholesterol levels without needing
statins
. Thank you

Insurance company issues
I've got private health insurance (since 2021, never used), but when I contacted them they said that because I've been on
statins
since 2015 and am also on amlodipine to moderate blood pressure that I am probably excluded from claiming on grounds of pre-existing conditions.

Medication
My gp gas tried me with different
statins
but they always cause side effects. My knees aways cause a lot of pain on these medications. I've recently had blood tests my gp has called me in for an assessment. I know he's going to push meds on me.

Test results
Hi everyone, I've received the following test results and have been advised to take
statins
. Do you think these results look like I could get my levels down with diet and exercise? My surgery obviously doesn't think so... Many thanks

liver
I thought the tiredness might be caused by Keppra a drug I take for epilepsy, I’m also on
statins
… but anyway the GP did a blood test, the Serum Alanine transaminase was ‘out of range’ at 54 u/l.

statins
Doc wants me to start
statins
and I’ve always been very reluctant due to a bad reaction but recently had a call from the Pharmacist for a review and she said I could take one statin once a week and it would still help, not everyday which is usual!

Methotrexate and Prednisolone GPA
I have been on methotrexate and prednisolone for nearly three years for Vasculitis GPA along with blood thinners and
statins
etc, was also on Mycophenolate for first 2 years. I have been told Rituximab not suitable for me.
