Repatha, side effects and what comes next?
Heart & Blood Health | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (51)Comment receiving replies
Have been taking Repatha 6 months. Cholesterol is crazy low. LDL is 2!! My knees are starting to kill me in the evenings. A Good nights rest and they are better. Is it Repatha ? Oh I had a heart valve replace in late January this year. Doing well from that. Statins have bad side effects for me also. Think I’ll drop Repatha to see if the pain goes away. Any experience to share ?

Taken Repatha for 3 yrs - no side effects. However a 40% blockage in my carotid artery has been dissolved. I'm very happy with Repatha - statins make me sick
My daughter had long lasting huge itchy rash at injection site with Repatha.

@swaimm1, have you discussed stopping the Repatha with your provider or the pain you are feeling in your knees at night?

Quite certain Repatha had horrible side effects for me along with lowering LDL numbers in labs. Only advice I can give is keep a record of symptoms and injections and trust yourself, not what docs say, which is based on what Big Pharma says,
