Pain and stiffness
Hi It’s been a long time since I have been on here. I am hypothyroid and Over the last year my levels have been all over the place, needing less thyroxine in the warmer months (75mg) as I was symptomatic of being a bit hyper, and more in the winter (100mg) when my levels dropped off and went the opposite

Statins and CLL.
I am new to this forum. I Was diagnosed early Jan 2020 with CLL stage A, watch and wait. Next blood test April. I feel anxious and depressed about the whole situation and can't accept it as real but I suppose I will eventually. I am now aware of every twinge and pain I get and think that it's cancer

Confused
Hi everyone, I had a HA jan 30th this yr so it’s all very new to me. I feel well recovered from the attack but have been having problems with my meds. I had some problems with my legs, feeling very heavy and like I’m dragging my legs through water it got to the stage where I was stopping every few minutes

Heart med side affects
I’m currently, with my GP, experimenting with statins. Was on Atorvastatin 40mg for 3 years but wondered if I couldn’t feel better day to day. Symptoms were, muscle aches and pains and odd days of chronic fatigue. After stopping the med for 1 month I felt better than I had for a long time. Then switched

COULD FATIGUE BE CAUSED BY ATORAVASTATIN
A couple of days after I started Atorvastatin 20mg just over two weeks ago I was so heavy tired I couldn't go to church or a walk with my daughter. I have busy Fridays. Again this Saturday completely wiped out and did nothing and missed a quiz night which I really enjoy. I don't want to give up my Friday

Cholbiomex3
Has anybody taken Cholbiomex3 to reduce their cholesterol? It contains a probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum, Vitamin B3 (nicotinamide) and red yeast rice rich in monacolin K. The reviews read very good although some folk had the same reactions as they did from statins due to the addition of monacolin
