Started Repatha - Side Effects

Posted by HomeAgainLA @llynch17056, Mar 21 5:42pm

I had terrible side effects with statins (any statin, any dosage). For about 30 years my doctors have pushed statins and
I have resisted. Finally I agreed to Repatha. The first week I had zero side effects. With my second dose, 2 weeks in, i woke up and my joints and muscles hurt a LOT.
1. Does this side effect go away?
2. What do you know about the recent information that the Repatha trials underreporting deaths from cardiac events while taking Repatha.

I am still on Repatha with marvelous results after using it for over two years. My doctor is thrilled. The muscle cramps that I endured before being graced with Repatha are a thing of the past.

Did you have a baseline CAC score? Planning on another one to see if any change?

We're all looking for a case where something would cause a decrease in calcium.

In 2018 it was 11. In September 2023 it was 70.
