Thank-you. Your answer is very kind and understanding, Looks like we have had similar experiences. You asked whether I noticed a pattern. Yes. Now I do. After my first shot, I felt an odd euphoria, as if I hd taken a recreational drug. Since I’ve never really tried such drugs, this is how I imagine they must feel. After that, each shot was a bit different in terms of how I felt. After 3-4 shots where I had no idea what to expect, a pattern emerged. There were three days of « liver pain » and gradully I got better. Then 3 days of pain became 4, then a week and so on. On shot 16, I was in pain the whole 2 weeks and now I am 3 days late taking shot 17 and I am very sick. My neurologist had my driver’s license taken away, which is a disaster for me. He believes that I black out a lot and am a danger on the road. I have never blacked out in a car and have had no traffic accidents. The doctor’s opinion is all that counts to take a driver’s license, Hard to believe, but true in the state of Nevada. You “volunteer” to give up driving privileges or else. Seems fascist to me, and I hear of other people suffering this.
The truth is that, I have fainted a few times in the heat and from a standing position, and I have fallen many times. I have no diagnosis except from whatever Google and I can come up with. My cuurent guess about my problem is that it has multiple causes: 1. medications (a Beta blocker and Repatha and blood thinner and antihistamines and a lot of supplements) 2. Summer temperatures 3. Sugars and allergens 4. Maybe some autonomic dysfunction. In sum, I have the feeling that I am far too sick to take this medication. My medical care has been frightening horrible.

You should know that Repatha stays in your body for quite a long time after a dose. Here's some info on this: https://www.drugs.com/medical-answers/long-repatha-side-effects-3551518/

So you might have side effects for as long as 2 months. Fingers crossed you're not having effects that long
