Vit D for winter months
Recently caved into pressure to take a statin. Apparently cholesterol is now down to 4 so hope to stop โœ‹ soon.

If we stick to a British diet containing too much fried fish, bacon, sausage, butter, cheese, pastries, and red meat we will all need statins.

A BP tablet, an anti-inflammatory and a vitamin D tablet in the morning and a statin in the early evening.

Familial high cholesterol is a genetic condition, not diet.

One for bp in the morning, one statin later on.

I'm surprised at the amount some Gransnetter's have to take. I'm not very good at taking tablets and have to have a drink with them, my OH amazes me that he can just swallow tablets dry.

I take 4 prescription tablets, 3 etc tablets (hay-fever and painkillers) and i also take quite a lot of vitamins and minerals as I don't eat a proper diet.
and the painkillers continue throughout the day as i'm currently suffering from a groin strain which is so very painful (I'd rather give birth!!) and i'm finding it very painful to walk or rather hobble.

None - I take no regular medication whatsoever.

So lucky....keep it that way if you can !

Have a look at British Supplements and type in stacks and have a read of the reviews. I gave up statins and as if by magic all my other problems disappeared. Statins are evil.

Four antihistamines a day, also two other tablets, all for skin condition, plus med for blood pressure, statin, and one for tension headaches. These are all prescribed, plus one Vitamin D.

MountainCycler8 Tue 12-May-26 14:22:56

3 Thiamine daily, 1 Omoprazol, 1 Bisoprolol, 1 Diazepam daily, 1 Mirtazepine at night then Vitamin D 25000 units 1 monthly that's my daily medication.

I had BP med that made my ankles swell, the next FOUR they tried gave me a persistent dry cough. I might have to go back to the first ones and take a diuretic

Ktsmum Tue 12-May-26 15:41:30

6 in the morning, 5 in the evening. And blood thinners morning and night.

Quite a few are diuretics, which means that I have to be careful re toilet training!!!!!
