Started Repatha - Side Effects

@tatiana987 Thank you for the response. Did your side effects lessen as you approached the end date, or did they stay at the same intensity until the end of the half-life?
I've been seeing 60–90 days roughly to clear. I'm at day 87 and I had just started to think I was feeling better, not so stiff, but today the stiffness is back full force.
TIA

@wgr123 My falls were less frequent as I neared “Freedom from Repatha Day” (full detox after half life of drug counted).
I will say that it was very hard to sort out what Repatha caused and what was caused by something else. Also there was a psychological aspect to my detox. I led myself to expect full recovery with full detox. Was that part of my full recovery? Maybe. I had a huge reward also, thanks to the DMV. I got my license back. So expectation and big reward might be part of my recovery.
IMO the statistical study of exactly what causation is, like the Bradford-Hill criteria, is helpful. Makes you more certain, easier in mind, less anxious. When you know the cause for sure, as well as anyone can know it, you feel better about getting rid of the cause. You feel stronger and that may actually help your condition. Maybe?
