@con123 I was really enjoying Repatha and the way it made my cholesterol come down with no joint pain. I started noticing flushing on my face. It was very hot and always really pink and felt swollen. And then around the 9th injection my reactions became a lot more irritating. I developed a very severe intense itch in my scalp on my neck and my upper back. It’s constant and actually makes me feel a bit crazy I do have to stop Repatha because my reaction is apparently an allergic sensitivity that is on the severe scale. So sad I thought I had found something that would work on high cholesterol. Sure hope it works for you and that you have no reactions.

@plumpudding I took one injection and not only had flushing, but a bad injection site reaction and cold- like symptoms. Can’t tolerate Repatha either. I’m currently trying a supplement with Bergamot and will retest lipids after the holidays. I agreed to add red yeast rice if the numbers were still too high. Dr mentioned trying Nexletol in the future but he seems ok with labeling me statin intolerant.
