Statin Intolerance: What did you do?

I am also unable to take any statins due to severe adverse reactions. My cardiologist recommended Repatha but said special paperwork was needed because it was very expensive. I am 70 and on Medicare. How much does it cost per injection and what are the side effects? Never heard back from his office so apparently I wasn’t approved as he said they would call me and it’s been 8 months.

I'm in Canada and over 65 so as a senior the cost is covered by our provincial government.

My Medicare Advantage plan would not pay for it, I am going to talk to my hepatologist about the cholesterol as I have PBC now cirrhosis when I see him I. April.
