Started Repatha - Side Effects
Heart & Blood Health | Last Active: 5 days ago | Replies (441)Comment receiving replies
I had to stop statins because of a combination of brain fog and extreme itching,
My first dose went OK, and it made me happy that it improved my ability to poop. I have Gastroparesis, so that is a problem. However, I also have neuropathy in my bladder. One of the side effects of Repatha is difficulty voiding. I had taught myself different positions and relaxation to void. Since taking Repatha for 2 1/2 months, I am getting increased difficulty in voiding.
Also, I have been losing weight because with my stomach issues, I have not been able to eat much. I was doing better before Repatha. Under the circumstances, I cannot be certain that Repatha is the cause of the stomach issues, but I am discontinuing it.

@htaish I wanted to take statins. I wanted to take Repatha. I couldn’t continue either. I’m on Terzepitide now. I’ll see if it helps my numbers. I’m tolerating it well, but I have to be very careful what I eat or I get constipated and that has not been my issue until now. It’s ok because I am eating not to have constipation, but it has been very conscious eating.
