Elydave. aye he's doing really well the dr's were amazed how well he's doing. just a few emotions and a touch of confusion occasionally to get in control and he'll be fine. He's worked ever so hard to recover I'm so proud of him. he always was a strong willed man so I knew he'd get over it in...

I was at the gp a couple of weeks ago, my ear was painful. gp said my ear drum was inside out I think was what he said. said I should hold my nose and blow as you do to make your ears pop. so I tried this, it was very painful and so I stopped. I thought it had righted itself after a few days as...

Thanks ladies :D still losing another 5lbs off. 10 inches off waist. 6 inches off chest & 7 inches off hips. Aye he knows the stress puts bg's up. he cana help how things are just now bless him. things are just stressful, he's getting over 2 strokes. and just now he's laid up with a trapped...

Yorksman, Ferguscrawford & superchip thank you. Yorksman I will read the links you posted when I have a wee bit of time to spare. Luna21. I believe that the results my man has had since taking the statins speak for themselves. he's a well built man (not overweight by any means) strong and very...

The list of "side effects" I hate that term. of statins is incredible and very scarey to say the least. Last year as my 49th birthday came round both the practice nurse and my GP told me that next year we'll be looking at putting you on statins. I asked why? and was told everyone is put on them...

I was diagnosed in jan this year type 2. after 2 weeks of bgs up & down. I started on a low carb low fat diet. my bgs are between 5s & 6s everyday. my blood pressure is perfect. cholestrol is ok too. weight is down by 45lbs. I started with a rash on my chest, it was very itchy and scaley and...

Hi diagnosed type 2 in Jan this year. 1st week was awful took dn's advice and swapped rice, pasta and bread for wholewheat varieties. after a few days I felt really unwell and very very tired, fell asleep at the drop of a hat. I came onto the forum and read hundreds of posts and articles on...

Re: Tired already! Hya Twinks and welcome to the forum. :wave: It can be hard to deal with all the "how are your bgs" and "should you be eating that" and all the disinterest in you because you have something important to talk about rather than the usual gossip :wink: Believe me, been there...

My partner has been on statins for over a year now. he had a stroke. he was on simvostatin 40mgs. He wasn't doing so well on them so they dropped the dose to 20mgs. he was having terrible pains, couldn't sleep at night, even though he was exhausted. loss of appetite. a whole range of things...

4 months from diagnosis type 2. I have lost 3 stone in weight. am soooo happy :lol: another bonus, don't need to clothes shop for a while. I had the good sense to put all my smaller size clothes away, and I have lots of lovely new tops sent by my lovely sis in law for xmas n birthdays. so I've...

Hya Jelaca thank you :wave:

Hi Destiny thanks. I decided to cut out my lunchtime sarny, and mullerlight yogurt and salad dressing. and while I had quite a stressful day my readings last night were 5.8 still not as low as I'd like it to be but it was down considerably so I'm a chappy chapess :D. Also have reached a goal in...

I watched something we found online the other day. it was about statins and that the brain is made up of mostly cholestrol and taking statins while reducing cholestrol can also shrink the brain. they also said that we need cholestrol to survive, that when we get a cut the body produces...
