Do statins help with PAD pain?
I seem to be posting a lot lately, so thanks if you've taken the time to read and respond. Much appreciated. I've been experiencing what my GP calls intermittent claudication of the calf muscles, otherwise known as PAD. I have had high cholesterol since I was a young adult but have remained fit and

symptoms before a heart attack
hi everyone, I’m a 50 year old female with mild coronary artery disease and likely familial hypercholesterolaemia. I have a strong family history of early death from heart disease and my dad died at 57 having had several HA’s in his 30’s/40’s followed by a triple bypass at 44. Although he died very suddenly

Preconception Thyrotropin Levels and Thyroid Function at Early Gestation in Women With Hashimoto Thyroiditis
Of course, research is necessary. We can all make lots of assumptions, guesses, which turn out to be entirely wrong. But this paper does seem to endorse what many here have said. If you are going to become pregnant, that itself will tend to raise TSH levels. If you want to keep below any chosen TSH

Most used Statin
Hi everyone I’m considering going on a statin. Years ago I was on simvastatin but I was take off it by a cardiologist after he did my blood test, because in his words, it was affecting my bones. Recently my GP as been trying to get me to take it again but they’re not having any luck. I’m resisting.

Link twixt Levo dosage and cholesterol
Just read some of the interaction regarding this matter from 3 years ago. Found it very encouraging and strengthen my resolve to stand my ground. I do not want to take Statins and now feel there is hope. Encouraging - high cholesterol = longer life span Statins can lead to shorter life span. Hmm

Nexletol
Nexletol is a new cholesterol-lowering drug that has shown promise in reducing the risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular problems. It also appears to avoid the muscle pains experienced by some with statins. When I find out more I will let you know.

Hypo and cholesterol advice please
Hello I’m looking for some advice please prior to a GP appt. I’ve had a phone call with the GP and said how tired I’m feeling but I also had raised cholesterol (no numbers GP test).

Early 50s male, healthy till hypothyroidism my first few months experience of treatment
I don't usually share info on the internet, but as a lot of material out there is aimed at women or Americans (I mean no offence to either!) I thought I'd stay my experience so far.

Is Simvastatin more effective than the other statins, against PCa?
Patrick O'Shea and others interesting in the effects of statins on prostate cancer suppression, do you find anything about this study that reinforces the use of Simvastatin over other statins, or is it insignificant because it's not a study on men? I didn't try to translate the amount/dosage in this

Low thyroid, high cholesterol
I'm interested in the effect an under active thyroid has on cholesterol levels. I have been taking Levothyroxine for 15 years and according to tests, my thyroid function is now within the normal range. A recent blood test shows my cholesterol levels as overall high (7). I have read that thyroid can affect

Advice for my 76yr old Hypothyroid mum
Advice for my mum please if that's OK. My mum is hypo - she takes 75mcg of levothyroxine. For years she has struggled with sleep, being cold and brain fog. She has just accepted this as being old age and when she has asked her gp - they just say her results are in range and that's the end of that. I

I have high cholesterol and my primary is urging me to take a statin, pravastatin, 10 mg. Years ago. I took Lipitor and stopped it because of side effects. Now, I'm CKD 3b (gfr=32) and so fearful that my kidney function will decline if I start the statins. My kidney doctor who was great just left area

Hypo and statins
Hi all I am a treated Graves patient and feel well on my Levo dose. No problems there. However my cholesterol (LDL) is high and has been for a long time. I’m guessing my GP will be advising I take statins at my next check up. Anyone any experience of taking both? Any problems? I have seen the Nice
