today thought id pop on here to see if anyone who's been on Letrozole ( ive been on it for just over five years),is or have had problems with their thyroid and cholesterol. My thyroid and cholesterol started playing up in Feb 2025,mynthyroid was overactive ,and my cholesterol was high, ive been diagnosed with a fatty liver, and a small cyst on my liver as well. Doctors decided to just monitor it ,and ive just had my bloods checked again for my thyroid and cholesterol. Its now come back T4 normal, but another part of the thyroid test is saying its now underactive, and they will retest bloods in another 3 months time. Cholesterol results came bac k today and its high, my doctor wants to put me on statins
I don't eat fatty foods, I don't eat any red meat, I have skimmed milk I eat plant foods qorn and i drink cholesterol lowering drinks, but I've read letrozole can cause thyroid problems, and thyroid problems can cause you to have high cholesterol. So it seems its a viscous circle. I'd rather take a plant based statins, from somewhere like Holland and Barrett, or off of Amazon. Has anyone else on here had these problems, and if so ,what did you decide to do, go on statins from your doctor? or try the more natural way plant based statins. I'd love to hear from anyone who's had or having the same problems as im having ,and id love to know how your treating these conditions.
