Repatha causes neuropathy all statins do. The cardiologists put me on a non statin and I am doing great. I am on Leqvio. (Nonstatin does not affect neuropathy) I took one shot, another one three months later and then one every six months. My high cholesterol is genetic. It has made a huge difference. I could not take statins they caused way too much pain and I felt like I had the flu. This is more tolerable for me.
As far as Metanx they took me off of it put me on a multivitamin and I take B12 injections bi weekly. Normally, after the shot it’s high (1026) for two days and goes down back to normal. When I don’t take B12 injections I get severe insomnia, muscle pain and weakness. Last week I could hardly walk to the restroom so weak and then realized I had not taken the injection since January. I took it and started feeling better in a couple of hours. I have gastroparesis due to the neuropathy and stomach ulcers.
