Started Repatha - Side Effects

After MANY years of trying to take statins and Repatha, I have concluded that I would rather die sooner than live with the extreme side effects. Right now I’m not on any heart disease prescriptions. That’s why I asked about whether Inclisiran will act alone as I would not be able to take statins or Repatha with it. I was hoping it was something different I could try. I just started taking OTC Beta-Sitisterol Plant Sterols. My cholesterol and LP(a) are high. My “good” cholesterol is also high and triglycerides are normal, however, my latest calcium scan has elevated.

Dang, @llynch17056 I am sorry you have experience to know just how bad side effects can be. I feel your pain! Only you knows what pain fits with that net-positive. I do not have negative side effects from Inclisiran. I did have one rough night after shot #1, then a bit less of a rough night a couple days after shot #2. Related? IDK My doctor walked through that with me and here we are. They dug into details of lipid (APOB APOA, etc) and inflammation markers (ceramides, etc) to learn just where I fit in compared to the norm (my words, not theirs). What is your doctor recommending?
