TIA or not TIA that is the question!!!
Hi all I have just been sent home after a suspected TIA so here is my story.... I have been experiencing pins and needles down my left arm, my left leg and the left side of my lips. The pins and needles would come and go every couple of hours and lasted 30mins or so. My leg would be numb but I could

Which is the best hospital in the West Midlands? Urgent!
I live close to Birmingham. I am "supposed" to be being treated in Russels Hall Hospital, Dudley. I was diagnosed last September with angina and have had a few tests. I'm on the basic drugs, beta blockers, low dose aspirin and statins. I am constantly tired and strugle at work (desk job thankfully).

Waiting forever after complications with an Angiogram
Hi all, New here. Had a heart attack in early July last year and had no idea that I had suffered one - no chest pain, just dizziness, nausea and pain in my arms and back more akin to muscle aches after exercise (I also thought I had some sort of gastric reflux and swigged a load of Gavescon). Anyway,

Results of A Modified COC Protocol
First, some background history. I was diagnosed in January 2016 with Gleason 9 and metastatic PCa. I have undergone ADT, chemotherapy and SBRT to the prostate and have augmented the standard of care with a regimen that appears to have suppressed my PSA until mid 2019 when it started to rise. The nadir

Statins: Researchers uncover how cholesterol-lowering drugs cause muscle pain.
Patients who take statins in order to lower their blood cholesterol levels often complain about muscle problems, typically muscle pain. But why this occurs is still largely unresolved. In a recent study, the pharmaceutical scientists Professor Alexandra K. Kiemer und Jessica Hoppstädter from Saarland

A new paper strongly linking chronic kidney disease and lowered creatine disposal rate with hypothyroidism & TPOAb
This paper just out in Thyroid shows a strong link between chronic kidney disease and hypothyroidism and TPOAb, leading to a poorer action of disposal of creatine by lowered excretion.

Hyperthyroidism. Strange side affects, anyone else with the same? Also has anyone tried CBD oil to alleviate symptoms?
Hi All, I am newly diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I live in Spain so I am not sure if the blood analysis is the same but here are my results T3 14.69 should be within 2.02 - 4.43 T4 3.19 should be within .85

COULD PMR BE A PHENOMENA OF THE GUT?
Hi. I have posted messages here in the past and want to offer a personal opinion on PMR and a possible explanation for how it may be caused. Let me say up front I have no medical training and I am not trying to sell anything. I have simply lived with PMR for 5 years and had it go away once and come back

New here
Following sepsis last year I've been taking CBD oil,and what a difference this has made to my well being. I sleep through the night wake up fresh and my minds a lot clearer. I now read that because I'm on statins where grapefruit is forbidden I shouldn't be taking this either. Really sad about this.

Holiday insurance
Hi. I know this topic has been discussed before on here and that’s how I got some good tips. Thank you all. Yesterday after going through 20 quotes and comparison sites the cheapest I got was £277.00 for 2 weeks in Florida. I had a stroke and I am on Apixaban statins and perindopril and no Hospital

A life sentence
Trigger for health anxiety, GAD, agoraphobia. I’ve had anxiety for over 40 years and for the most it has ruled my life. The consequences now is that I have high blood pressure, am on statins for high cholesterol and have frequent ectopic beats. Most of this is my own doing as I do little exercise as

Acheing muscles
Hi all, just a statin question, I am starting to get the old muscle aches regularly now which I believe could be an unpleasant side edge t of the statins! Does anybody else get these and is there a solution other than reducing dosage or stopping all together which I defintaley don’t want to do! Maybe

Statins - More Good News
It is already well known that statins have many benefits. These include the lowering of cholesterol (particularly LDL), stabilisation of existing plaque and reduction of irritation (often a precursor to plaque formation). Today I restarted the course of dental treatment that was put on hold following

Still concerned about statins
I know this has been talked about quite recently but........! My cholesterol levels were 364, the doctor put me on statins about 2 years ago. I have never had a heart problem and most of you seem to say "you don't really need statins if there are no other symptoms of heart strain". I then decided to

Atorvastatin and colchicine interaction
Had a really bad gout attack that started a couple of weeks ago and won’t subside. Used to take ibuprofen to tackle inflammation but since heart issues I’ve been told to avoid NSAIDS. So figured I’d suffer the pain and wait for the gout to run it’s course. Usually my attacks don’t last much more than

Statins for women
I've been accused of 'scaremongering' in the past for flagging up the experimental results related to statin "therapy" and explaining how to interpret the statistics (which isn't immediately obvious unless you've had some training). I'm doing a little more of this scaremongering in the LCHF thread today
