Is anyone on Repatha for cholesterol...

Hello @porscha,
I'd like to invite @llynch17056, @missey and @laketahoebob who have shared their experiences taking Repatha on Connect in the past.
@porscha, members who have discussed experiencing side effects with Repatha often talked about experiencing them right away on the medication and the side effects lessening over the course of a few weeks. After two weeks on the medication you mentioned you are feeling good, is that still the case?

No problems ever with Repatha. Started with the 4 week injection and was forced to change to the 2 week injections when they discontinued the 4 week version.

@JustinMcClanahan my experience was that the side effects on Repatha came on a bit more slowly than with statins. For the first couple of weeks I thought I had found a chlorestrol lowering drug that I could tolerate. But, that was not to be. Once the side effects came on they were even worse than as ratings and only got worse, never better. I took it for 3 months, one week and had to quit.
