Hemochromatisis with a Ferritin of 394.0 ug/L - range for women is - 13.0 - 150.0 yg/L -
However, I think now that my use of Sertraline combined with
Statins
initially was an error, i.e. I tried to look at my past medical history which seemed to support this new revelation. I think that I will now try to find out my own DNA so any help in this connection will be much appreciated.

Stopping Lipitor
was wondering - when any of you stopped you
statins
was there a large spike in your cholesterol on the next test?

Trying to reduce cholestrol while staying gluten free
However the doctors despite this want to give me
statins
because my cholesterol was 6.5. I have heard that stress can be a factor in high cholesterol and I have had a lot of that over the last 8 months. I have refused
statins
but I do need to reduce my cholestrol.

Statins and PMR/GCa
“Well many people have been taking
statins
without developing PMR/GCA. That’s true of course, but then perhaps no one put two and two together!

Never ending
I had a small heart attack in March,I had 2 stents and since then have suffered with pericarditis, struggled to tolerate
statins
and now have Costochondritis with sternum and left side rib pain. I have been advised not to over exert myself, use ice packs and ibuprofen gel. So far no improvement.

Statins and PMR/GCA
Has anyone heard or read about a connection between
statins
may be being a trigger for PMR or GCA? I have read something about this, but not sure of the outcome of the research.

Sleepwalking update
Having done some research (medication leaflets and Dr Google) it can be a side effect of
statins
and beta blockers. Update: My doctor has taken me off the statin because of all the side effects I am having and because my cholesterol is down to a good level (2.7).

Correlation is not Causation - suggestion for BHF
Hi - some studies here in Oz have shown many patients stop taking their
statins
because they get muscle soreness, a fairly rare side effect.

Statins concern
Concern is re.
statins
. Husband has been taking two types of statin for some time. I am convinced they are affecting his short term memory (of course he denies this!). Have attempted to gather info. from peer reviewed articles on internet but not enough research appears to have been done.

Enzalutamide NFG* for me. Clinical trials beckon.
I remain on Zolodex of course and MO added metformin and
statins
to my cocktail of drugs to no avail. Probably not a surprise since I became castrate resistant 3 months after starting Zolodex (2017). So what's next? I am looking at 2 clinical trials at Peter Mac in Melbourne. 1. Galahad trial.

British Doctor Quits Statins for 5 Years Then Gets a Coronary CT Scan to See the Results
I came across this video this morning on Youtube and thought everyone would find it of interest: https://youtu.be/nS0Qr7wRr9o The name of the doctor is identified in the video. Eat right, move, supplement and measure regularly! Accountability is the key to changing habits.

Levothyroxine and herbal remedies
St.John's Wort and ginseng may reduce efficacy of
statins
and warfarin. Apparently women are nearly twice as likely as men to add supplements to presribed medicines. I am only reporting!

'No evidence' having high levels of bad cholesterol causes heart disease. Where do we go now?

Care Oncology Clinic, or if not - what?
I'm thinking of contacting the Care Oncology Clinic BUT I am feeling fine and am quite resistant to the idea of taking antibiotics and
statins
which are possibly unnecessary. I eat healthily and avoid sugar and carbohydrates as much as possible.
