I am so sorry @dlkreps . I do know it takes a while to get the PCSKis out of your system. I believe they have a half-life somewhere between 11 - 17 days so it will take two or three months.

Mayo Clinic has done wonders with my cholesterol since my downward spiral. After my Repatha experience I ended up getting every two week LDL apheresis done to remove cholesterol from my blood after all things drugs didn’t work. Cardiology has a Statin Intolerance Clinic in MN that may help you (I am not sure about other locations). I am back on drugs that didn’t work before, off the invasive apheresis treatment and my cholesterol is well controlled for the first time in my 59 years.

Here is some information:

Thanks so much for this information @jlharsh! I will give this current drug combo a few more weeks to make sure I’m not experiencing half life issues from the rapatha. In the meantime I’ll do my research into mayo and the statin intolerance department.
