Started Repatha - Side Effects

I had a NSTEMI in October last year. I was put on 2 different statins that I could not tolerate. So the cardiologist prescribed Rapatha. I had horrible GI issues, including constant nausea and frequent diarrhea. I lost about 8 lbs in 2 months just from not eating. I’m now on pravastatin for about 2 weeks and so far no adverse side effects. Just my experience. Of course the doc said they had never heard of that (really?!).

We are all made so differently. I am lucky not to have side effects and the impact Repatha has had on my lipid profile is immense. I needed to hear your story to remember gratitude.
