Statins
I would appreciate any comments from you all on the pros and cons of statins. I am 5 years post op, 67 years old and have made a reasonable recovery. I recently had a blood test which showed my healthy cholesterol at 2.51 and my ‘bad’ cholesterol at 4.3. My Q risk is 13.5%. These numbers mean nothing

PCa survival among statin users after prostatectomy
New Finnish study below. "Statin use among surgically treated PCa patients has significant association with decreased risk of starting ADT and PCa death. The risk is lowered especially among men with statin use before PCa diagnosis and in men who used statins at high-dose." -Patrick https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Hi guys, first I got my results back today from my MRI scan of my head. It said everything was fine, fantastic but doesn’t help the scream I put up with day in day out. Anyway I know this might sound daft but I’ve been doing a little experiment with my four tablets I’m taking for blood pressure and so

Second Cardiac MRI
I was admitted to hospital with severe chest pain. ECG normal but Troponin level at 300, spent 5 days on acute cardiac unit. Angiogram clear, had a cardiac MRI, dr now wants that repeated. On meds for BP and beta blockers also prescribed statins which I haven’t taken taken. Meds making me feeling so

Statins and AKI
Hi guys, Anyone had any experience in this; About 12 months ago when my GFR was > 90 and my bold pressure was 130/80, because of high cholesterol my GP put me on 80mg of Lipotor. I thought why not. My blood pressure a few months later crept up to 155/95 (on BP meds) and fluctuated between there and

Hypo question
Hi, i have just found this site and it looks like a great place for help & information! I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid about 5 years ago. I was put on 100mcg of Levothyroxine and am still on the same dose now. Since being diagnosed, i have been treated for high cholesterol (Atorvastatin)

Home blood test kit for Thyrotropin receptor antibodies?
Anyone know of a home blood test kit company that runs the test for Thyrotropin receptor antibodies? I can't seem to find one.

Statins
Hi all, quick update. Been to the doctors today. She suggested I stopped taking the statins as that’s what could be the cause off my aching bones. Have to go back Monday for full blood test as the heart attack can also cause arthritis 😬😬 but she is confident that it’s the statins. I have to see if

Turmeric
Does anyone know if it's ok to have turmeric and black pepper mix whilst taking Methotrexate, Prednisone, Asprin, Statins and Omeprazole? As Tumeric is known to reduce Inflammation. Thank you.

Statins and RLS
I developed my RLS after taking statins for high cholesterol. The statins ruined the muscles in my legs and caused RLS. I stopped taking the statins, but the RLS remained and have had them for over 20 years. Has anyone gotten RLS after taking statins and having leg or other muscle problems. If so

Off Beta Blockers
Age 50. Been on Metoprolol (beta blocker), statins and aspirin since July 2018. Had 1 stent fitted end of August 2018. Then on the clopidogrel as well. All pretty good since then. Saw surgeon in Dec and he advised coming off the metoprolol as my BP was surprisingly low. So reduced to half dose for two

Statins
After a first unexpected angina attack was given 20 mg Atoravastatin by hospital. After a follow up at cardiac clinic was told to take 80 mg. Has anyone else suffered side effects from large dose. 80mg made me really ill. Have been reduced to 40 mg but not much better. Ok on 20 mg.

The Mutant Thyroid Hormone Receptor Beta R320P Causes Syndrome of Resistance to Thyroid Hormone
This is extremely unlikely to be of any direct use to anyone here. My reason for posting is to celebrate the fact that some progress is being made as to the causes of Resistance to Thyroid Hormone. Further, that the paper does make some more general observations and even proposes two forms of RTH be

First Endo meeting - Results in
It only took 10 weeks (to the day) to receive the letter from the endo after my referral to him. 10 weeks for feedback! Atrocious really. I was referred to rule out Addisons, which he did at the time, and he has now ruled out Cushings. The letter bangs on about my blood pressure and cholesterol

Test results what do they mean? Have gone online so have previous results when I was complaining of fatigue, confusion over last 5 years...
Felt fairly rubbish over the last 2 months- feeling sleepy if sat back unless using the PC, hence watch TV on a night and o stuff on PC otherwise I would drop off, or reach for something to eat to keep me awake! Hence the expanded waistline.... Appreciate your comments - is it the thyroid, B12, or

Beta Blockers?
I would really like to pick up on a point I raised a while ago regarding Beta Blockers. Brief history, I had an out-of-the-blue episode of Angina and was admitted/diagnosed with 95% blockages of LAD and 50% right, fitted with 2 stents to LAD. Echo is completely normal and did not have a HA, although
