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

Cholesterol 5:2
I am 56 with ectopics, aorta regurgitation & aorta dilatation and lupus. My cholesterol has come back at 5:2. Not sure whether to start statins - GP says it’s up to me at this stage. Just would welcome any views. Thank you.

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

Statins n stents
As other members experienced anxiety and depression after MI stents , had heart attack 6 years ago and feel it’s totally ruined my life . The anxiety attacks are real and totally debilitating and the symptoms mimic heart attack to the letter , I’ve wrap myself in cotton wool I feel , if I do anything

Cholesterol Medication.
Hello all, Had HA in May, whilst in hospital my cholesterol was 5.9, had recent blood test and cholesterol is now 2.87. This is due to medication and diet changes, My question is will I be able to come off statins or is it a life medication now? Thanks.

Statins Reduce COVID-19 Severity, Likely by Removing Cholesterol That Virus Uses to Infect.
There are no Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatments for COVID-19, the pandemic infection caused by a novel coronavirus. While several therapies are being tested in clinical trials, current standard of care involves providing patients with fluids and fever-reducing medications. To speed

Statins and AVR
Has anyone taken up the offer to take Statins as a way to reduce the risk of a stroke or heart attack when they have had the Aorta Valve Replaced?

Liver function tests
I had chest pains a few weeks ago, went to A&E and after 8 hours I was discharged, told to take it easy and see the cardiac nurse. I am now down for echocardiogram, reviewing my other arteries and existing stents (full metal jacket of 4 stents), possible angiogram, stress test, plus full review of meds

Husband was wrong : not hard headed after all!
Hi all, Flew 8 hours from Canada to Switzerland last week to find out if I can ultimately receive FUS PTT. It turns out that yes, except for low skull density ratio (SDR) of 0.34, measured with CAT scan during assessment. Soooo, husband was wrong all these years, I am not hard headed after all! It

Three common medications lower risk and mortality for lung cancer.
All three medications are common—approximately 35 million people take a statin to control cholesterol; more than 120 million people take metformin to control diabetes and between 6 and 10 million people take aspirin daily. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of aspirin, metformin

New paper
We've just had published in Frontiers (downloadable) a paper which, using the results of a large meta-analysis, challenges the authors' relationship of TSH to risk factors in other diseases, and by a better, more focussed analysis shows it is FT4 that is more important. FT3 was not considered so that

NDT and T3 use given support by US workers
This publication just out in Thyroid journal discusses using NDT (DTE) and T3 in suitable circumstances. It is I believe the opening of the door that has closed against NDT and T3 use, and in the future should encourage properly designed trials. They acknowledge the existence of a subset of patients

Balanitis for 3 months
I’ve been dealing with a fungal infection / Balanitis for the past 3 months 1/2. It started when I had smegma underneath my foreskin built up that caused redness. I was prescribed Ketoconazole and Desitin which got rid of the infection in 3 weeks. I was dealing with a bit of tip issues towards the end
