Newly diagnosed and seeking help
Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with an under active thyroid. Initially my GP diagnosed angina but the cardiologist disagreed and suggested thyroid problems were the cause of my symptoms of extreme fatigue and breathlessness. My cholesterol had also gone from normal to very high prompting prescription

STATINS AND ITCHY SKIN
Hi all. On 20mg atorvastatin. Been on them for 12 months now. Mentioned in my last post about hair loss... Now I'm noticing I'm itching all over??? My body and scalp. Do you think this could be related? Now I've also been prescribed 30mg isosorbide mononitrate about 2 months ago, and it's just

COC Protocol
Has anyone tried the COC Protocol for breast cancer? They prescribe repurposed combinations of existing licensed medications that are used to treat conditions other than cancer. I gather they are off -patent drugs that aren't worth the drug companies time because they are unable to profit from them.

I've just had 3 days of heck with this cholesterol lowering drug. It could be all the E numbers or the povidone but my bs has been high for the three days along with many side effects. I certainly couldn't go through another day of it, so I'm giving up. The reason I was trying it is because I

Can hyperlipidemia cause Hughes Syndrome?
I was just recommended to this site because I mentioned that 23 years ago (at age 36) my then cardiologist said along with my off the charts lipids, that my blood was "so sticky that they could not even get a real true accurate lipid count." I have assumed that it has been the statins and fibrates that

Why take statins when my angiogram came out clear?
I have had all major heart tests : CATscan, Cardiac MRI, Angiogram, as well as ECGs and blood tests this past year. The scans and angiogram came out completely clear. The doctor at the angiogram called my arteries "pristine"! And yet I have had high cholesterol (7+) sometimes going down to 5 for the

How fast do statins work?
Hello, I was wondering how quickly do statins start to work - lower cholesterol? Is 1 week after starting it, long enough for a blood test to show if it works? Thank you

STATINS AND HAIR THINNING
Hello. My question is this.... I have been on Atorvastatin 20mg for a year now. Have no muscle problems whatsoever but have noticed that my hair has got really thin and is coming out. I have changed my diet for the better and take vitamins so I do not think at all it's anything to do with what I eat

Blocked Artery
I live in Spain and was diagnosed with Angina some years ago and prescribed medication. After a few years my condition got worse I was given an angiogram, when they discovered a totally blocked artery. I was told that it was impossible to fit a stent and that it was not necessary to have a heart bypass

Benefits of diet and fasting
Had a physical last March, was okay, but Cholesterol again high for over 5th year in a row +245. Next day Doc said "you need to go on Statins" I said cant i try natural approaches? He said "they dont work." I heard so much about how bad statins are so I changed my diet, no more fast food, processed

Not the news I wanted
Well - that’s a bit of a bummer - following my recent set of blood tests, I received a phone call from the surgery; in a rather too enthusiastic voice (I thought) I was told ‘you are officially diabetic......‘ ‘Your previous result was 48 and your last one was 52 - I’m putting that down as steroid-induced

Feeling so scared
I just came out of hospital 2 weeks ago. I had a ''massive'' heart attack the nurse said which spooked me a bit. Because of where we live I got taken to 3 hospitals in one day. I am a retired nurse of 22 years ago and should know better but I am so scared and frightened. Usually I am in control. Had

Cholesterol and thyroid test results
Following on from my post 4 months ago - my GP agreed to raise my thyroxine dose to 100mcg and see what happened to my cholesterol. I feel a little bit better for the raised levothyroxine but still get very tired in the afternoon and evening (basically only have any energy in the morning) and still

statins and prednisone dilemma
I’m 62yrs ,130 pounds, female .I’m following a keto diet and walk or swim most days. I was diagnosed with PMR November 2019 and have tapered to 15mg of prednisone from 30 mg .

Thyroid hormones are better diagnostics than TSH
This letter from us has been published in the journal Thyroid. It defends a paper by others who have shown by a large study that FT4 is better than TSH in diagnostic utility. Unfortunately FT3 wasn't done, but at least the focus has moved away from TSH.
