Thank you for such a thoughtful response. I can tell the Repatha is leaving my body, none too fast, however, but I am getting better and better. I am very active as well and do not want to live life unable to be active. Being active is what my life is about for me and my joy. It’s a dilemma. Honestly, I’d rather just die of a heart attack than live the life that I had on statins and Repatha. I recently have been reading about potential meds for LP(a), which is elevated for me, as well. Seems most meds for LP(a) are in trials which means they are just now working to find out what the side effects are, which could be very harmful, or you could just get a placebo. I just am at a loss. My doctor said, “if you can’t take the meds, I have nothing for you.” On my own I just started taking Beta-Sitosterol Plant Sterols. I read it can reduce cholesterol. I am trying to take care of myself because my doctor basically says if I don’t take meds that make me sick he won’t treat me. I ordered my own Lipid Panel before starting the Plant Sterols and will do another one in 6 months. Fingers crossed. BTW, I eat healthy and clean, am active, not overweight.
