Heart Attack Journal
On 20th August, I had a minor heart attack. I've written a couple of posts about it and have mentioned it in various replies. It occurred to me that, instead of a scattering of updates, it would be better to keep it all in one place. Hence this "Journal". My plan is to keep updating this text so that

Ibuprofen gel on blood thinners
Hi - I’m on statins, beta blocker, clopidogrel and aspirin post stent. I’ve been mobile - playing football again. But now have a really painful spot in my foot that’s impacting my exercise (feels like a bruised joint). I want to see if it’s just inflammation and try ibuprofen - but understand it’s

Immunotherapy (Keytruda) and COC protocal
Ladies, my immunotherapy starts next week. I am currently on COC protocal. I am taking mebendazole, metformin and statins. Have yet to add the antibiotic. I am wondering if I can continue the meds while on immunotherapy. I have also written to COC and await their reply. While on chemo my doc has asked

Statins
Prior to my (surprise) heart attack on 20th March I was on Simvastatin but after my procedure was put on Arorvastatin. My problem is that I cannot seem to increase my energy levels. I tried half an hour walking each day but after a week it seemed like my body had been unplugged and I was completely drained

Similar faulty analysis of statin and thyroxine treatment in clinical trials
Malcolm Kendrick's latest blog interested me considerably in that it showed up the close similarities in the incorrect treatment and comment on clinical trials conducted both for statins and for thyroxine treatment. The latest BMC article on T4 treatment I posted earlier has exactly the same basic dishonesty

Stopping statins
So, last January Dx’d with PMR; both local MD and Rheumatologist said to stop my statin. I have a strong family history of stroke but I said OK. Started on Prednisone 10mg; now down to 3mg/2.5mg alternate days, methotrexate once a week. Doing just fine there. Couple of times I suggested to each doc separately

https://www.europeanscientist.com/en/features/do-statins-really-work-who-benefits-who-has-the-power-to-cover-up-the-side-effects/ This link may be useful to any of us who have already rejected statins, or anyone considering taking them. It seems all the evidence in their favour as a prevention of strokes

Signed Off
I have recently been signed of by my EP at St Thomas’s following successful ablation two years ago so fingers crossed that this continues. On the letter sent to my GP it says I have LAD 25% stenosis and therefore suggest I should be put on statins. I guess this means I have heart disease, Im not sure

Statins - is it time for an independent review?
Brilliant paper which presents a very compelling view on the need for a fully independent review of the benefits of statins. As a patient with atherosclerosis diagnosed 15 years ago and then prescribed statins, following the need for a heart bypass I did my own research and stopped statins 5 years ago

LCHF: what to expect
We're getting quite a few new members here and some questions crop up regularly, so I think it's time for a bit of LCHF mythbusting. Feel free to add to this list.
How quickly will I lose weight on LCHF?
There's no way of knowing. There's no magic to LCHF - it's just a healthy diet. When you eat
