Lupus/APS and cod liver oil
I'm currently on lifelong warfarin,
statins
, vit D, hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate injections. The inflammatory arthritis is very painful, would cod liver oil be safe to take with anticoagulants? I think the oil would help with the inflammation. Many thanks

Can statin side effects occur six months after starting?
I know I have to weigh up the benefits of
statins
over side effects but I have read a number of posts from people who have switched
statins
due to side effects with positive results.

I'm new here - advice on possible hypothyroid blood tests
Total Cholesterol 10.4 mmol/L LDL 7.2 HDL 2.5 Triglycerides 1.6 The doctor said my TSH was a little high, but was more concerned about my high cholesterol, with seemingly no reason for it (don't smoke/drink, recently lost 3 stone - not obese, exercise well, no family history) and wanted me to take
statins

Angina, always normal cholesterol - hereditary
I can see the logic of putting me on
statins
BUT how can they tell what dose to give me if the blood tests are always normal?

Back again with an IF experience to share
It's not just about losing weight anymore, I aim to be in a position where I can stop taking
statins
and blood pressure tablets. I bought a blood pressure monitor in February and since I've been fasting my blood pressure has gone from hypertension range to 112/65mmHg.

🌈May be helpful to someone
I refused
statins
as I couldn’t face more side effects etc My RLS was already at its worst & then for me a slow miracle happened. I decided at the age of 67 to start running! I used the Couch to 5K program never having run in my life since school days.

Blurred Vision/Atorvastatin?
but I also notice that
Statins
particularly Atorvastatin can cause this. Obviously I am going to speak to the GP surgery later but I was wondering if anyone had had or heard of similar problems?

What do you think?
Though am grateful to the doctors in hospital where I had the operation, upon my return home I felt the need to see a specialist here in the UK to discuss the medications I was given and the “length of time” I was told take them (have concerns about
Statins
for example).
