Started Repatha - Side Effects

@prunella1111 You believe cholesterol in the 200's is great? Really? The lower the better, if you have have coronary artery disease you want your LDL under 50 for reversal. Studies have shown this. Under 50 is the standard for the European standards.

@rochelle369 Yes, I do. You are chatting with a cholesterol queen here. I have Familial Cholesterolemia, nothing can be done about that. My total Chol was 376 when I was 25 years old. Fast forward to 70 yrs young, after my 11 yr old CABGX3 closed up from 2014, I am now living on my LIMA artery; nothing else can be done. I am a cholesterol pro. Our bodies need cholesterol but we don't want it to oxodize or get inflamed inside our vessels. It's not all numbers, it's inflammation and oxidization that are the enemies.
I'm on #15 Repatha inject; only God knows what that's doing to my poor body.
Good luck with your numbers.

@prunella1111 I wonder about that. The first time I had my cholesterol checked was in the mid-eighties and it was high. That was the first time the doctor put me on statins. I felt so bad I quit taking it. That was the first time a doctor “threatened” me to take statins. I changed doctors. It’s been a long road with doctors and meds about my cholesterol. I exercise and eat organic fresh foods. I quit sodas, ultra processed foods and all fast foods over 30 years ago. Been doing yoga for 13 years. Been getting between 6,000 - 10,000 steps a day.

So, yes, I am very happy with 200.

I have hereditary high cholesterol. If any doctor insist you take a statin, but refuses to hear how it makes you feel, time to find a new doctor who listens. There is a simple blood test which can prove you can’t take statins. Have you doctor check your immuno-globulins. There are 5 sets of immunoglobulins. The one you need is IgE. It will prove what you’re telling the doctor is true.

I took my only shot on aug 3 2026. I can stand the runny nose but two days later my neck shoulders and arms hurt so bad I could not raise my left arm at all and my neck would not turn. I read that the pain could last for 11 to 17 days or up to 2 or 3 months. It's a little better now but I could not sleep for over a week the pain was so bad. I cried for days the pain made my sick at my stomach. I WILL NEVER TAKE THAT STUFF AGAIN.
