Metanx, Repatha, Statins and making sure doctors keep check...

Why would you take repatha and a statin at the same time? I was dx with SFN long before taking repatha. I also have CRPS and it's hard to distinguish which or both are creeping from feet to knees. I wasn't aware of my instability at times being from SFN, thought my bad knee was the problem. I will check it out. Thanks.

My cardiologist added the Repatha and Vascepa..... to help prevent plaque build up and lower triglycerides and raise good cholesterol. Apparently they CAN all be taken at the same time. I switched from the statin to Zetia, and I've learned that some doctors prescribe both Zetia AND a statin. I cannot PROVE that the Repatha or Statin caused my SFN.... but I've read a lot of accounts from people saying that caused theirs. At this point, I'm just trying to cut out anything that MIGHT be causing or adding to my SFN. Best wishes! Mike
