Started Repatha - Side Effects

@johnjtggI think one of the issues for Repatha is that it is relatively new and more studies need to be done. Currently, it seems that few side effects are listed or if they are, providers assume they are quite rare. Good luck with your situation and let us know what is suggested.

@backhand Thank you. I saw my cardiologist this morning and told him I can't continue with Evolocumab/Repatha. Regardless how great my numbers are, 104 TC, 37 LDL 56, HDL 56, Triglycerides, 1.9 Ratio. I'm off of everything until I decide another direction, TBH I am not sure where that direction will be other than what I am doing now. I want to remain active and enthused with life not inhibited/lackluster. Quantity is nice, but quality is more important...

@backhand with my Cardiologist all that mattered was lowering chlorestrol numbers. He actually got giddy when mine lowered. He acted like my side effects were faked and was displeased when I had to quit taking statins and Repatha. It’s like his only goal was numbers. When asked what else I could do, diet, exercise and he said “I have nothing for you.” I want to live a long healthy active life and I’m willing to discipline myself. Taking those drugs caused me to lie in bed in misery. A shorter happy active life is better than that!! I didn’t go back to that cardiologist. I don’t even have a cardiologist at this point.
