Cholesterol and Low T3
It’s just so scary and frustrating because I really don’t want to be forced onto
Statins
if as I suspect my T3 is low (which it has been on a private test in the past). Would love to hear how others have managed to get the T3 they need in the UK?

Some drugs including
statins
, may inhibit endogenous CoQ10 synthesis. There are also chronic diseases with lower levels of CoQ10 in tissues and organs. High doses of CoQ10 may increase both circulating and intracellular levels, but there are conflicting results regarding bioavailability.

STATINS
I know that several people take
statins
. I thought you may be interested in New European Guidelines which ‘Drastically’ reduce statin eligibility. In fact they essentially “eliminate a statin indication in women.” https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/976715?

He has had 2 stress tests in the 6 years since diagnosis which have been normal and he is on
statins

Bempedoic Acid
It has been suggested that I start taking Bempedoic acid (Nustendi) tablets in addition to Ezetimbe - (which I have been taking for years) - as I have Familial Hypercholesterolaemia and am unable to tolerate
Statins
. I am just awaiting results of blood tests before I start the drug.

Statins and side effects
This report has made me rethink whether I should start again and make absolutely certain that the pain is caused by the
statins
and not by other things such as diet, foodstuffs, drink, other pills, exercise etc. or even a mental block!

I'm trying to have a baby as it maybe my last chance.
I was put on
statins
to lower my cholesterol. It was recommended by the doctors to try for a baby due to the
statins
. My partner wasn't kin for a baby due not wanting me to come off the
statins
, being at risk of a heart attack and a stroke.

High HDL & High LDL/Statin will be negative for liver right? My liver enzymes are elevated already.
My question is, won't
statins
negatively impact my liver? I've read online that they do and because of my already high reading of liver enzymes should I not take them? He's calling in a Rx for the cholesterol issue today. By the way, yesterday was my first day on Wellbutrin.

I have run out of feathers to spit!
She then wanted me to try
statins
as my cholesterol was slightly raised. I pointed out when my thyroid levels were good, my cholesterol was good, but we would not know now...
