Gastritis
Has anyone found that since having Lupus that they now have stomach problems. I first developed gastritis a few years ago when my GP gave me statins. Normally eat reasonably healthily but 2 weeks ago I shared the most delicious fish & chips with friends and have suffered badly ever since.

Cholestrol after coming off HRT
Has anyone who came off HRT noted notable increases in cholestrol and, if so, did it subsequently fall once the body becomes used to its new female hormone level? My 64-yr old mum's cholestrol has risen since she came off HRT to a serum total now 7.4mmol/l (0-5) or 286mg/dl. Im aware of other (possibly

How long to lower your cholesterol
My cholesterol has been bubbling round the high for a few years now, high bad neutralised by high good. Recent tests say the both have gone the wrong way. I exercise a lot and take no meds and trying to keep it that way for as long as possible. If I make a serious effort to turn this around, lower

We are cured, again (again)
It was on the website, myelin.org (now defunct), that I first learned about Sobetrirome and it's role in upregulating ABCD2. I believe myelin.org was run by Lorenzo Odone's parents. It was there that I first read about Ampyra as well. But, I digress. It was originally envisaged that sobetirome

Spot on penis glans
This spot appeared one the glans of my penis a few months ago. It was way worse before and it has gradually cleared up. I have spent hundreds of dollars at dermatologists. First appointment, the dermatologist told me it was a fungal infection. I was prescribed Nystatin cream and it didn’t really help

Diffuse coronary artery disease
Angiogram recently resulted in a diagnosis of diffuse coronary artery disease not amenable to stenting with recommended treatment beta-blockers, aspirin and statins. Does anyone have further information about this condition ? Thanks.

Timing of various medications? What do most of you do?
I've just read a 2013 article in AARP's "The Daily" regarding when to take various medications (https://www.aarp.org/health/drugs-supplements/info-12-2013/timing-of-daily-medications). Cancer drugs are not mentioned except to suggest that certain cancer cells may be more vulnerable when other cells

Levothyroxine intolerance
I have felt dreadfully ill ever since I started taking Levothyroxine when I became hypothyroid in October 18 following RAI treatment in June 18. I was suffering side-effects from the carbimazole and was told that it was easier to treat an under-active thyroid than an overactive one. The deterioration

Is this unusual ?
Had chest pain etc at start of a walking holiday abroad. Next 7 days walked 60 miles - kept getting out of breath. 10 days later no symptoms but went to GP who put me on aspirin and statins and referred to cardiology. Due to covid took 6 months to get scan - not conclusive but confirmed I had a problem

The can of worms that is Statins!
I have just had a discussion with mum about taking statins, she is going for a definite no to them (someone we know had bad side effects). I know they are one of the most common drugs taken, and that they do have side effects, worse for some than others. Has anyone not taken them when prescribed? Has
