medichecks results different from GP
March in order to get some information other than the GP test who wanted to reduce my Levo and put me on
Statins
. I take 100mcg daily and feel well on this dosage, when I was on 75mcg, I felt lethargic and not myself. The new results are CRP HS. 1.510 mg/L.

Advice on medications
So she has put me on
statins
. I told her that I don't eat anything rubbish and I have a very healthy lifestyle. Does anyone know or have been on these to give me a bit of advice, I have heard of some horror stories about
statins
and the side effects.

esetimibe
I’m unable to take
statins
having tried several I landed up with rhabid( whatever the word is) loosing muscle and feeling very poorly. I have been prescribed estemibe. I have stomache problems with all the heart meds and I have persisted with estemibe because I’ve got genetic high cholesterol.

weight, diet and statins?
I had a recent blood test and my GP picked up on my cholesterol level at 6.5 and wanted to start me on
statins
. I’m not keen (more bloody pills!) and we agreed to let me try to reduce it a bit myself first.

Starting Statins.
After recent blood tests Surgery decided I should be on
Statins
. Atorvastatin now perscibed but not started. Seems to be a safety net as Cholesterol is within normal limits .

Advice needed.
He's on various medication for blood pressure, blood thinners and
statins
. He was took to A and E Tues. They suspected a small heart attack as his troponin level was slightly raised. He has fluid on the lungs and between the lining and chest wall. No infection.

Why would my FT4 change?
I have been asked to come in and discuss my blood results with the GP, my cholesterol is also elevated but I do not want to take
statins
. My FT4 was 10 and I am taking 120mg a day of NDT, they did not measure TSH. What is an "ideal" FT4 level whilst on medication. Thanks D

I’m not afraid to take

, but would just prefer to do this myself.

MCTD diagnosis, finally!
He wanted to treat me with
statins
, which I have not bought or taken. I'm well aware of what will ensue, especially since my body is going mental dealing with the inflammation.

Statins with an under active thyroid.
The NHS website says you don't give
statins
to people with an under active thyroid. Strangely, they haven't considered that my BP and inflammation are also elevated. Also, I keep crashing physically, have muscle weakness and joint pain.

Statins: 2024 update
they seem useful, even if it’s not an interventional trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38164036/
