My doctor did suggest that but I keep hesitating. When the Repatha nurse from Amgen gave me an injection lesson it was with the thigh. Okay, maybe this week, I'll do the stomach. Thanks.

Be sure to let the Repatha "warm up" a bit before injecting. I have found that upper leg is much better than pinching belly area. I was getting bruising and marks that lasted months in belly area. I have had limited success, and will be talking to my doctor soon to stop the medication. Ezetimibe has been a miracle drug for me with overnight success after years of fighting hereditary cholesterol.
