Oh my! Thank you for this post! It describes my experience exactly. I have tried all the statins. They make ne very sick (diarrhea, brain fog, depression, zero energy…). So I tried Repatha. I really wanted it to work, too. I didn’t even look up typical side effects. Soon after I started it, I got raging diarrhea, cramps, depression, headaches, zero energy, overall malaise. I had to cancel a trip to visit my father because I was so sick. I never got to see him before he died. I feel exactly like you, in that the medications make me feel like I’m dying more than anything else. I’m not taking anymore.

I understand. My internist agreed with me to try OTC Beta Sitosterol which has shown promise in reducing LPa and cholesterol in general. I will be tested in a couple of months to see if it works, but my LPa was significantly down on my last testing but I had only been on it a short time when I tested so I don’t yet know if the Beta Sitosterol lowered it or now. I will post here after my next test.

I haven’t noticed any side effects, if there are any they are definable minor.
