Just had my annual blood test-as I have an under active thyroid. I always ask Doc to treat it as my MOT and include everything reasonable.
All OK except. . . . High choresterol, the highest it's ever been 7.6!
I was on statins but had awful shoulder pain so at last year's appt doc suggested I stop them and then pain went.
On telling that to doc today (on a telephone appointment-how cool is that!) she said she could prescribe a different one at a lower dose to try it and then repeat blood test (non fasting these days) in three months time.
I honestly don't eat a lot of cheese, chocolate, cream and limit cakes and biscuits so hope tablets help.
Anyone else had this problem?
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
