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.

@repathaconcerns I am glad you are able to tolerate the pain you have been having, and I hope that continues to get better.

I followed recommendations after Repatha to take a 3 month break then try Praluent as well. After one injection I was done. I don’t think I was aware of all it impacted in my body, and as time passes I am more convinced the drug is the culprit. I went in circles until finding a doctor I trusted. Then, it has taken a long, long time of an extreme level, consistent exercise, strengthening, and eating to feel better.

What do you think you will do?
