Thyroid levels / cholesterol link
I do not want to take
statins
- tried it once and could barely walk after two weeks - Ideally I’d like to persuade her to try some levothyroxine to bring my TSH down to around 1 which was the level where I felt better than I do now.

New to site - diagnosed hypothyroidism with high cholesterol
I expect dr will want me to go on
statins
which I am reluctant to do as I also saw something about them not being good for those with under active thyroid. I have family history of heart disease - father died of heart attack at 58 and his mother at 64 of heart attack.

For those on statins: adding dipyridamole might be a good idea
the drug dipyridamole can be used to block statin-induced SREBP activation and augment apoptosis in statin-insensitive PCa cells. In this study fluvastatin was used, maybe not the best option against PCA. Dipyridamole can be taken instead/with aspirin, and there is a version with aspirin in it (Aggrenox

Statins And Fake News
It seems that up to 1 in 3 may not be taking their prescribed
statins
because of the negativity around
statins
in the media and elsewhere. As a result many people may be shortening their lives.

Statins cause heart failure
I just read a link on one of the posts about
statins
quoting a report from 2015 and published in the Clinical review of Pharmacology . It states that
statins
can cause heart failure by damaging the heart muscle. Does anyone know if this is true as it's very concerning if it is.

Is SVT a problem that always needs medication?
(also on BP tabs for years now controlled for a long time .. and
statins
). I am 75 and very happy with life! The missing beats have stopped .. just the occasional feeling of 'flutter'. Am I heading for something worse? Do I really need to start this medication?

Recent "research"
These people are likely to be prescribed
statins
which cause calcification in the arteries as well as lowering of cholesterol, to suggest that if the taker also takes vitamin D that is the culprit is rubbish.

Simvastatin-induced erythromelalgia: less is more
This forum, Thyroid UK, is particularly aware of
statins
and their contra-indications. Furthermore, the whole cholesterol orthodoxy is questioned regularly.

HEART ATTACK RISK ASSOCIATED WITH ADT...
Anyone have real data re: true risk of heart attack as a result of ADT....All my life I have had high cholesterol....diet makes little difference...refused
Statins
. My Calcium Score is presently Zero ( or WAS 2 years ago).... Will probably consider a statin as part of pca protocol....

Starting Lipitor 10mg......maybe?
As my cholesterol sticks stubbornly around 5, I have decided that I really should start taking
statins
....tonight! Which is 7 days before my next INR check.....I have been very resistant to this for ages.

Statins and PMR: Thought you might be interested in this - especially if you take statins
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3402515/#s1title This is a study from The Netherlands about the association between statin use and the development of PMR.

Alternatives to Statins
They are expensive and so currently are only recommended for people in these groups who can’t get their cholesterol levels low enough by taking
statins
, or who are intolerant to
statins
. PCSK9 inhibitors have to be given as injections every two or four weeks.
