Anyone successful at reducing cholesterol levels without statins?
I’ve been offered statins as a few weeks ago my cholesterol was up to that magic number plus age 70 where they get recommended. I suggested to cardio team and GP that this may be due to a bit of over indulgence over Christmas period so it’s agreed I’ll re-test in a few months. I have eaten mainly plant

I can’t live with permanent tinnitus and the regret
what's the title for this? I am guilty of constantly using cotton buds and bobby pins to scratch my ears, which caused an ear infection that led to permanent tinnitus. Now I hear this ringing all the time. I just want to hear silence, and I am sad that I can’t hear silence anymore. I also have anxiety

update on sore Nipple!
so did go to see the Dr who agreed my breasts were quite tricky to diagnose due to the amount of scar tissue from previous mammoplasty - initially felt the tenderness was maybe due to simple fibroadinoma but wasn’t certain - so I was fast tracked to Derriford and my appointment is this afternoon. Interestingly

My glove upgrade lost its buzz..
Hi, My PD/Tass glove prototype seems to have lost its “buzz” when my partner swapped the old/vinyl look (on the right in the picture) with the clean new look (on the left in the picture). Using the SAME power/arduino etc. it seemed that it should work great until I put them on my hands and realized

deranged LFT and Gallbladder perforation
hi, hoping someone may have experience like mine. I had a perforated gallbladder whilst in hospital with Sepsis back in November. Because of my weight and existing issue the team didn’t want to operate as keyhole wasn’t an option so would have involved open surgery. So I was put on antibiotics for 6

Pulsing in my head
Hello I went to see my doctor a year ago about this pulsing in my head. I was told I had wax in my ears so I went through the routine with the olive oil but that didn't work. And now I'm trying to cope I'm frustrated as it effects me when I'm trying to sleep also I can't hear in social situations. I

Riboflavin (b2) supplementation is a no-brainer for Parkinsons
Riboflavin (b2) is a complete no-brainer. 0 side effects and dirt cheap. Especially if your second and third toes any toenails are full of fungus/athletes foot. The Chinese believe that your second and third toe is a place where toxins leave the body. The Chinese believe PD is “stuck” in fight or

Are we eating enough protein?
Protein Most people do not consume enough protein. As I discussed in episode #202, protein consumption is a variable I’ve become increasingly attuned to with my patients. The more I research this topic, the more I find that the RDA (recommended daily allowance) of 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight

DVLA: taking the doubt out of notifying them?
Having read countless posts from individuals receiving a glaucoma diagnosis and not knowing whether they need to inform DVLA, I have wondered why Consultants aren’t required to shove a DVLA notification form firmly into your hand if you have a diagnosis of glaucoma in both eyes. It would take the confusion

mri without contrast
Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone could advise me about what to do going forward. In February 2023 I woke up one morning and I felt like the whole room was spinning and I was struggling to hear out of my left ear. This happened for over a week. I went to the doctors and they prescribed some antihistamine

wheat in cosmetics
I’m recently diagnosed with coeliac disease. I’m following a gluten free diet but have noticed that a product I bought to promote hair growth contains wheat germ amongst many other ingredients. As this product needs to be massaged into the scalp should I not use it?

My previous blood test was on the 14th Dec 23 and my numbers were gradually reducing. I just had the results this morning and pretty much all my levels have increased including
