Thanks for your detailed reply. I'm thinking of skipping Repatha and taking Inclisiran. While I'm most afraid of losing weight on these medications because of the digestive issues, I'm not very good at suffering. I'm impressed when people say that they only had headache for a week or that stomach troubles go away after a few months. I'm a wimp. But I've heard that myocardial infarction is extremely painful. And I'd like to avoid the cardiac surgeries that are probably ten years away. I'd rather wait for crispr. https://newsroom.heart.org/news/first-in-human-trial-of-crispr-gene-editing-therapy-safely-lowered-cholesterol-triglycerides
The liver problems with these drugs are concerning, but the discomfort seem prohibitive
I sincerely appreciate your encouragement.
