NHS to Pioneer Inclisiran Trial
The NHS are going to trial about 40,000 with Inclisiran. Rather than take daily statins they will receive twice yearly injection of this new drug. The report is here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51091083 The photo is a bit dramatic - it looks as if the guy has taken a bullet from a .44 Magnum

Saturated Fat
In the early 1800s, people believed that organic compounds (chemicals associated with living processes) were fundamentally different to inorganic ones. They thought that such compounds were imbued with a sort of life-force, and that man would never be able to replicate them. Friedrich Wohler upset everybody

LCHF Dilatory Pattern disturbed briefly -SUGAR LEVEL NOT COMING DOWN .....Afterward!
As an adherent of LCHF diets since 2015 I have been managing my Type 2 condition very satisfactorily. My readings have been around 120 until June 2019. I was trapped into a situation where I was forced to do away with my controlled diets for about a months’ time leaving me with readings around 160

Statins and lethal prostate cancer
I'm just putting this out there in hopes somebody can translate it for those of us with PCa and heart disease who need statins to control cholesterol and triglycerides. I have no clue how well-done the study is or how conclusive or how it fits in with all the other studies. The evidence for and against

Suspected Angina
Hi everyone, I’m writing on behalf of my mum who is under investigation for angina. She has had two strokes in the last 18months (suspected to be caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain) and also has an under active thyroid. She currently takes thyroxine, statins, aspirin and clopydogrul. She is

Recently a blood test showed a 4 cholesterol and 3 of that was bad cholesterol so the doc wants me on a statin . She prescribed Atorvastatin. My concern is can I take viagra with it? I forgot to ask

Clopidogrel makes me feel unwell.
Hi, had a TIA on the 7th of December, only diagnosed last Thursday (2nd ) the consultant prescribed Clopidogrel and statins I refused the statins as my cholesterol is only 4.5 and assured the doctor I would bring it down to 4 via diet, ( already reduced it from 7.6 by diet ) , he was happy about that

Statins again
How soon do statins generally start causing muscle pain ( If at all). I've lived with chronic pain; FIbromyalgia , adhesions and neuropathy for years. I 've taken oxycodone for 19 years. Had Fibro for 40 years and the rest for 20 so it's really difficult to work out what's making me so much worse. I

Muscle tiredness when on Atorvastatin.
I’ve only been on Statins a few days but noticed I can’t walk as far as usual and have to rest a lot. Even doing things around the house is taking more effort. Will this effect lessen?

Holding off statins challenge 🙄
Hi...happy new year🥰 My annual check showed my nhs cholesterol level at 13 whatever that means but should be under 10 so I said I will seriously try to lower this myself as statins buggered my leg muscles up. Given me 6 months and if not lower suggest I try a different one, which I really don’t want

Prescribing cascade
Although not directly applicable to PMR/GCA probably a lot of us may have this happen to us. Consider, for example, a man in his late seventies, fit and active, “routinely prescribed” (like so many of his age group) a cholesterol lowering statin. Two months later, he consults his doctor with muscular
