I appreciate all of the scary posts, even though it becomes a contest between which is scariest-- the cardiac event or the medication.
Repatha is a great drug for some and it sounds like you are one of the lucky ones.
I'm trying to hold out for gene editing.
You might lower your triglycerides with folic acid. It has been dramatic for me, but I'm not able to brag about LDL or HDL or CALC scores.
Best wishes.

@ibchispas what you are seeing here, like most other chat boards, are from those people with problems or reactions to the med. What we're not seeing are from those where Repatha or another drug has been successful and without side effects.
I'm also a 70 year old male and just into year 3 with Repatha (along with 20+ years of a statin). No side effects and it's lowered my LDL from 109 down to 17.
I'm watching other's reactions to know what I might see if something shows up later, but so far, all is good.
