Yesterday I was put on the second medication for severe GI side effects after starting Repatha. Currently prescribed an acid reducer and bile acid sequestrant. Growing concerned about the Repatha side effects and secondary medications/side effects. But with the huge drop in my cholesterol numbers, feel I must maintain the regimen until I can fully evaluate all the effects.

I realize that I am rolling the dice by quitting all of those drugs. I decided that quality of life meant more to me than quantity. My grandmother didn’t take anything and died in her sleep, in her home, without a caregiver at 98. I am focusing on eating organic clean fresh food and exercise, she did both of those things. She carried on a good conversation and kept up with the news. Make no mistake, I WOULD take the drugs if I could still feel good and stay active doing the many things I love to do, but that isn’t the case for me. I am going the natural route. I don’t think many people actually do that. Our food today is so full of toxins so that eating broccoli isn’t healthy unless it’s organic. If it’s not organic it is full of chemicals and pesticides that can’t be washed off, literally. I’m giving it a try.
