Repatha side effects not believed

Why oh why can't they just tell us the truth, that all these drugs have side effects and try to deal with them and try to understand our struggles. I trust an honest person and will listen to reason and try to except the results instead of guessing about which drug is causing my pain. But to flat out deny side effects I'm having exist is just rude, and I think unprofessional.

I can imagine your saying, “I have a headache.” and the doc saying, “No you don’t.” Ha!

Maybe we should get together and write a book about amazingly idiotic things medical workers have said to us. We could include the “thoughts” of the doctor who asked why his lesbian patient didn’t use birth control, as mentioned here.
And I got a message on mychart from a medical assistant who said, “If you have more questions, we will call you.” Right.
And my cardiologist who prescribed a blood thinner to me, when I asked whether the weeks of bleeding from a minor cut on my thumb, whether that bleeding were concerning he answered, “I’m not a thumb doctor. Ask your thumb doctor.”
I think we could write a great collection of spectacularly dumb statements.
