Thank you for this info. My cardiologist, or, shall I say, FORMER cardiologist, has nothing but statins and Repatha in his bag of tricks. That’s sad because, I agree, we aren’t the only ones that cannot take them. I’m not going to take muscle relaxers so that I can barely tolerate a drug that is causing me terrible pain. Our bodies are talking to us and our doctors aren’t listening. How sad to go to medical school then specialize in cardiology and are only willing to push pills that are harmful to patients.

Thanks so much :). That was very kind of you. I'm feeling a little better. Oddly, it seems the muscle relaxers that I've taken some evening seem to have some long term effects. I haven't taken Repatha for a month now. I still have back pain and leg pain, but at least it's a little more tolerable. Now my cardiologist wants me to try Praluent. (I had a very long talk with the office manager about my frustrations regarding the way this has been dealt with). Looks like myalgia is more common in that one though.
