That is very interesting. Thank you for suggesting it. Inclisiran can have bad side effects and it’s a twice a year injection, so if I were to have the side effects, which I probably would, you can’t just stop taking it, it’s in your system for 6 months. That really scares me. Side effects: more expensive and have side effects such as injection site reactions (e.g., redness, swelling, pain), flu-like symptoms (e.g., fatigue, headache), and symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections, which need to be taken into consideration when using them clinically. My body is so tired of experimenting with drugs that make me so sick and take so long to recover.

I hear you. I hope you are doing well.

Two things I have learned:
- the drug stays in your body 2 days.
- every drug does something different. Lightbulb moment for me was to figure out exactly what is happening with my body and choose a drug accordingly. This is a different approach than the “spray and pray”, let’s try something and see if it works approach. (At least minimizing guesses, and making personalized educated ones).

How are plant sterols working for you?
