Repatha, side effects and what comes next?

@rhondaj At this stage, many years after the MS diagnosis, I have no clue what symptoms are caused by MS and what by something else or a combination of factors. The best I can tell MS has no pattern, no usual présentation. The only thing that has been the same or even predictable over the years is the brain lesions that show on images. Symptoms come and go and make little or no sense. Doctors are of little help and sometimes do damage unintentiinally. Repatha changed my sugar tolerance, but is that permanent? I have no clue.

The new Repatha-related sugar intolerance clearly causes symptoms that medical folks have called nerve damage, as if it were from MS, nerve sheath destruction. If I eat a fairly normal amount of sugar (like one cookie), my hands or my legs tingle within an hour or less. Consistent tingling from sugar consumption. What causes what is confusing.

I am quite certain that Reptha was dangerous for me because of the many falls clearly associated with taking the shots. After detox from Repatha, I think the dizziness and falling are completely gone, but the sugar intolerance lingers. The sugar problem shows up in blood work but only slightly and over a long period of time. Diabetes? I doubt it. Pre-diabetes? Who knows?

@tatiana987, it is good to hear your dizziness and falling are gone. This has to be a tremendous relief!

I agree, it is difficult to sort through what causes what when various problems can cause so many overlapping symptoms. For whatever reason my body requires a pretty strict and consistent diet. Part of this is sugar. I do ok with it when I have other things with it but I learned to never consume it by itself.

You mention MS. Are you able to tell if anything else has changed with your digestion? What do you typically eat?
