2 1/2 year update and Rheumy consultation
To save you delving into my history too much here is a recap and update. I was diagnosed June 2020 and started on 15mg Pred. In 2021 I got down to about 8/7mg but a flare pushed me up again. I tried again a while later but the pain got bad and last summer I went back to 15mg. I was half way through

Statins & Steroids
I’ve been advised to take statins due to high cholesterol levels of 7.0, Serum triglycerides 2.3, HDL 2.5, HDL ratio 2.8, LDL 3.4, non HDL 4.5. I’m reluctant to take more meds but I’m unclear of the meaning of all the results and if I should take statins or not. I’ve read some articles stating that

good blood test results
I was dreading these last blood tests as I’d been not feeling 100% of late for no particular reason. However: I was over the moon to learn that my bloods were ‘normal’. Kidney function even better: sodium going in the right direction and ferritin serum level significantly improved. just one fly

Vitamin K2 (MK 7) worth it ?
I was reading an article yesterday about vitamin K2 ( Mk 7), helping the slow down of blocking arteries. I have never been one for taking supplements as most don't seem to be worth it and have been discounted by various "experts". After my bypass in 2021 I did my best to lose weight, eat healthier etc

vitamin k2 thoughts ?
Hello Ladies and Gents There’s a lot of reading matter online about the claimed benefits of taking k2 to keep calcium from arteries and transporting it to bones where it should be. Does anyone have any info on any possible negative effects of k2 on heart patients on statins? otherwise it would seem

TSH is just the 'opinion' of your Pituitary about your dose ~ but your Pituitary's 'opinion' is a bit warped once you take Thyroid Hormone.
These first two papers can be used to prove that on T4 monotherapy , a dose that is enough to 'satisfy' the hypothalamus /pituitary (ie. lowers TSH to the bottom end of the ref range) , does not necessarily provide 'enough' T3 to all the other tissues... some other tissues can remain hypothyroid despite
