Statins and ET
My GP has recommended I start taking
statins
. I emailed the specialist nurse and she has replied saying the GP will have taken everything into account. I have ET and take hydroxy and blood thinners. I have high risks of heart attack and strokes.

Inclisiran
The drug is called inclisiran and has already been in use for patients with heart and circulatory problems and continue to have high bad cholesterol levels despite
statins
. Has anybody on here had experience of this drug?

PAD after Pmr
He said its not bad enough for a stent as he can feel all my pulses, and said I had to go on aspirin and
statins
. Well I've always used complementary medicine, and never taken much medication until I got Pmr. So this has knocked me for 6. Apparently I've got to take them for life.

Statins
I’m aware of atorvastatin being one of those
statins
with potential for slowing advanced prostate cancer. Is rosuvastatin in that same category?

Pulsatile Tinnitus
In the mean time my gp felt that was over the top and discussed
statins
and dispersible aspirin which had been for 6 months .. chol was 6.9 now 3.3 father had bypass at 60 yrs old … I’ve now had a letter through saying I’m being referred ( I didn’t ask). Anyone else has this situation ?

paxlovid interactions-statins, thinners
I was prescribed
statins
and eloquis both mentioned in this article as contraindicated for Paxlovid. But i did not take them for other reasons.

Also my Dr called me about my cholesterol being 5.7 and how it's the level they advise starting
statins
which I declined and will review in a year.

Can you keep focus in large group settings?
I take hydroxycarbamide, blood thinners and
statins
. I really struggle to focus in a large group setting e.g. a party or meeting. People talk to me and I feel as though they go out of focus. I can nod, show appropriate reactions etc but communication on my end is limited.

Do lower glucose levels slow the prostate cancer growth? 70-85 level better than 90-100 level? Continuous Glucose Monitor usage?
Some of the meds we take, raise the blood glucose, such as
statins
and possibly the ADT meds as well. Does anyone use the continuous glucose monitor to learn what food to eat and not eat, and when to eat them, and in what portion size etc? If so, what are your recommendations?

Rant!
He immediately blamed the HRT (been on it nearly 20 years) and then swopped to "need
statins
" which he kept repeating. I just said No, with no explaination, no point as he was not listening. In the end I just said I wanted a blood test for B12, Folate and any other vits he could stick down.

How best to take Colestyramine (Cholestyramine) please?
Confusingly I was also on
statins
for very high cholesterol (thought to be a polygenic case, note I'm a treated leukaemia patient probably with lots of mixed up genes). I have stopped taking
statins
whilst I take Colestyramine.
