Statins and Hydroxychloroquine
Has anyone ever experienced a reaction when taking
statins
and hydroxychloroquine? I have had Palindromic RA for four years and hydroxyl has kept it under control with just occasional flares.

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!

statins
.

Do Drs get a bonus for prescribing certain drugs ?
Does anybody know if Gps get a hand out for prescribing
statins
? There has been a lot of controversy in regard to this topic. Late yesterday afternoon I had a call from my surgery. It was a Dr I had never heard of or had I spoken to her before. She was suggesting I were put on
statins
!

low TSH higher cholesterol
My father was unwell on
statins
so I am anti. Should I increase my levo and still refuse
statins
as it seems that would be logical for me. My diet is healthy, although I am not totally gluten free, I don’t buy or eat much bread but do cook from scratch.

Adding calcium in order to strengthen bones
I do take vitamin K2 Question 2: Will
statins
do anything for my heart health? A low cholesterol count doesn't mean less calcification as I understood and I am not sure
statins
will lower cholesterol levels.

Travel Insurance questions on Acalabrutinib
While on the subject- does anyone know whether saying you are on
Statins
(high cholesterol) helps with getting travel insurance or not. I have been given the option of starting
Statins
or not by GP - it’s up to me.

Statins and prednisolone
Consulting Google while waiting for a GP slot, I decided to stop the
statins
and within a day or two relief from the digestive disorder was just great.I realise I will probably need to reinstate the
statins
when I'll hope for a smoother passage.

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 .

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

Cholesterol Help Please?
Doctor rang me a few minutes ago going on about my liver enzymes that are creeping up and my cholesterol, she said that was high at 7 and wanted to give me
statins
to which I refused point blank, I told her
statins
had almost disabled my brother until he managed to get off them.

When to take my T3
I take
statins
and BP meds in the morning and my Levo at night. Or should I just take it at night with my Levo.
