Janell,
Thank you for your thoughts.
After much thought and research, I've decided to stay with my current dose of crestor 40mgs. and not take Leqvio. My reasoning is that I am tolerating the statin fairly well, and in just 8 weeks, my numbers have come down drastically. I fear side effects will throw me off and then I have no choice but to feel the effects for as long as it takes the drug to leave my system. Why fix something that is currently working?
I'll do another set of labs in 4 months and see where my numbers are. Then, I will revisit Leqvio if need be.
It just seemed odd to me that this drug was recommended to me when, after review of all of my tests and records, my cardio told me how great I was doing and that I was one of the most fit patients he has recently seen.
I will let my cardio know my decison today and I await his response.
Thank you.
