@tatiana987, first I want to commend you on taking care of your health concerns. That is very important.

You mention that you are experiencing dizziness and light-headedness. Has this improved?

Thanks for asking. Repatha detox almost complete. Very few symptoms left. Occasionally I have a bit of light headedness, just a bit, not nearly enough to interfere with driving in my car which has AC. I have never experienced falling or passing out from a seated position. 100% of the incidents I have experienced were in high temperature and from a standing position.

Without my car, there is not much I can do when the temperatures are in the 90s or 100s. I have no AC at home and used to drive to the river where it is cooler to take my daily walks or when that was too warm I would go to an air conditioned mall to walk or sit in a coffee shop with friends or go to the library or Tai Chi classes. Not possible now. Riding a bike in this heat would be stupid at my age. That leaves a motorbike which might be OK if I could make myself visible to drivers, and cops say that over 50% of our drivers locally are impaired.(cell phones, alcohol, marijuana and other legal drugs plus the illegal ones.

Almost gone. I would say many or most people might feel a bit of light headedness or dizziness in 109 degree desert heat like we have been having here.. Me too, but it’s very minor, not a problem. Losing Repatha really helped me. No idea what my LDL numbers will be. Next week I will find out.
