What good news bigchevy. I have now been on Repatha for 10 months. So far nothing horrible has happened. Only the dramatic drop in LDL. With statins I had impossible to live with stomach pain. Life's a gamble. (and I go through it waiting for the other shoe to drop but so far so good). Wish you luck and continued low cholesterol readings.
