Statin Intolerance: What did you do?

I also cannot tolerate statins. I have gotten side negative effects from all the oral ones. It is important I take this type of medication so I am now on Repatha injections every 2 weeks with no side effects. This seems to be a good alternative.

Same for me. I tried a lot of different statins in different doses and finally quit them altogether about 10 years ago. I was able to keep my numbers in the high/normal range with diet and exercise then suddenly they shot up. I am now on Repatha without side effects. It can cause raised blood sugar. I have only been on Repatha for 6 weeks and will test blood sugar soon.
