@270george It's been a year and four months and just recently I have seemingly resolved my inability to tolerate cholesterol medication. I tried the repatha in March for the second time after receiving it once in 2024 and feeling neuropathy pains., shaking and dizziness. It took four months to recover but I decided to try again to see if my reactions were the same as last year and they were. I was incapacitated with neuropathy pains, dizziness and shaking from March through May 2025. I stopped taking any cholesterol medication and just CQ10 and citrus bergamot which also caused dizziness. With diet and cardio I got my cholesterol down from 211 to 196 but my cardiologist and surgeon were still pushing cholesterol mediation and I was approved for Leqvio, the six month shot for lowering cholesterol in October. I had my first shot on October 27th. I had a week of feeling woozy but tno neuropathy pains. i want to have blood tests to see what my cholesterol is now that I am on this medication. So far I feel good although I am now on nortriptyline for migraines and it has also stopped the neuropathy pains in my legs. I am still woozy most days and so I do cardio and yoga which seems to help with that. It's a very frustrating and difficult road to navigate. I hope you find some answers soon.
