Started Repatha - Side Effects

@valcie Both my parents had 4 heart attacks and bypass surgery. I am on this high LDL journey. I have side effects. I can only say this. My mother took all the pills and followed the doctors orders, my father felt bad on most of the meds and he stopped most of them. They died one week apart from each other in 2013. So, i wonder if any of it make one bit of difference?

@mdeblaey539 I ask myself the same thing all the time. My bottom line is that I won’t take a medicine (unless it is a short term fix) that makes me feel bad so that I cannot be happy and active. I decided that I’d rather live a shorter time and enjoy my life than a longer time feeling bad. Then I started thinking that maybe it will the same regardless of whether I take the medicine or not. There are a lot of credible articles and books out there about the statin myth, the faulty studies and Big Pharma push so that everyone takes statins. I don’t know. If it hadn’t made me so sick I probably would have taken it. Right now I’m taking Nexletol and it’s not making me sick. I am continuing to do yard work, walk 8,000+ steps a day and practice yoga. If it starts making me feel bad I’ll quit. At least I now have a cardiologist that understands and respects that.
