I am very sensitive to medication’s to which is why I could not take statins or osteoporosis meds. I had some of the side effects the first couple months but now they have completely resolved. I think a persons body needs to adjust to them hang in there for me it is better than having a heart attack unexpectedly.

My body never adjusted. I felt SO bad that I’d rather live less years and feel good the years that I do live.

That is my attitude and experience too. To me it’s all about risk ratio. It’s far better to have a few muscle aches than a stroke or heart attack.
I did have a few painful leg muscle spasms while my body adjusted to statins but that did stop.
I start Repatha this month and will not stop while my body adjusts to that. But the vast majority seem to have no issues so I’m not worried. I read the studies.
