Help boosting thyroid without medication?
Hello all I have posted before as my thyroid function is poor but always comes back in range (my TSH never rises even with low levels) so no chance of medication on the NHS (other than statins for high cholesterol which I refuse). I did some recent tests TSH 1.95 (0.27-4.2) T4 14.6 (12-22) T3

Worrying blood test results ...
Hello, This is my first post - last week I noticed some quite dark patches under both arms. Was seen by GP in an hour ... gave me Clotrimazole Cream which has reduced the tone of my skin. GP said it was acanthosis nigricans... ,?? Sent me for bloods including LFT and various tests FBC. These came

My Angina Story - 2024
Hi - telling my story since I'm feeling a little confused and down, and wanted to share. Last year in 2023 I was diagnosed with high blood pressure (it's been a little high for past 20 years) but GP wanted to bring it down consistently so put onto Ramipril that did the job nicely. It was early Jan

Statin drugs with ITP
Because of high LDL I started taking a statin drug a couple of months ago. I was shocked to see my platelets dropped from about 112 to 90 in just a couple of months. Is anyone else on this list on statins, and did it affect your platelett levels?

Interaction between aspirin and pred.
By way of brief summary I have had PMR since 2020. Over that time I have flared four/five times on tapering to about 5mg. I am currently on 7/6.5mg on a slow taper. Last Saturday I received a letter from my cardiologist saying that parts of my heart are not receiving an adequate blood supply. That

starting statins and blood thinners
I just found out that I had a silent stroke in the past according to a recent MRA. I am starting a med that keeps platelets from sticking together and a statin. I am scared to death of the side effects. Any advice?

Any suggestions for how to improve my poos
Hello all. My apologies for the title of this post, but I didn’t know how to phrase it. I was diagnosed with GCA in January 2023 and have been on Prednisone ever since, along with other meds that are given to mitigate the side effects of the Pred. I also started Methotrexate this January. My first attempt

Genetic Side-Effects
I thought I had escaped Statin side-effects until a post here made me realise the Achilles Heel problem I'd had for a long time was probably Statin-related.

Atorvastatin
My cholesterol was always low until I went through the dreaded menopause which turned me upside down and inside out! My anxiety shot through the roof and my cholesterol with it! I’ve always been slim fit and healthy. Never smoked and drank minimal alcohol. My diet is very healthy. No red meat or processed

Micro vascular angina
Hi everyone . I’ve always been, what I considered, fit and healthy; a regular and keen runner - training for a half marathon, healthy eater and wonderful home life.

Anyone else have Tendon Issues?
For 7.8 years, I have been taking Letrozole and Ibrance. Recently, an MRI showed that my right gluteus minimus tendon fully tore and retracted for no apparent reason. Because statins can be a factor, I immediately quit taking atorvastatin. I also found a study that claimed aromatase inhibitors can also

8 months post Nstemi and quadruple CABG
it’s not all been a linear progress but it has been pretty darn good. Back ggedt issue I’ve had is with my statins. I thought it was the Bisoprolol (1.25mg ) and ramipril (half a 1.25mg tablet) that was making me dizzy , fatigued and zombie like every afternoon to early evening. Plus I had cognitive

Do Drs get a bonus for prescribing certain drugs ?
Does anybody know if Gps get a hand out for prescribing statins ? There has been a lot of controversy in regard to this topic. Late yesterday afternoon I had a call from my surgery. It was a Dr I had never heard of or had I spoken to her before. She was suggesting I were put on statins! I asked for

T3 looks low to me! I have a goitre....help please.
I'm waiting for and Ultrasound scan for goitre. I had to push for T3/T4 blood test after gp took TSH and was then fixated on high cholesterol levels. I did some research and found that cholesterol levels were raised with thyroid problems and said I would not take Statins until thyroid sorted out.

Hypothyroidism help
I had a thyroidectomy in 1984, to remove benign growths. The surgeon said about 25% thyroid remained, but he thought I would not need subsequent medication. I was not told to have regular thyroid function tests, and carried on with my busy life. After unrelated throat surgery in 1997, my consultant asked
