My wife uses this Repatha and it cut her values almost in half with no side effects that she had with oral statins. An amazing drug but amazingly expensive if you do not have good insurance 😩

Good to know. I've heard good & bad about Repatha, as all drugs have side effects & are different from person to person. My doc prescribed Repatha, but my insurance would not pay for it unless I tried a similar drug (Praluent) first. It is also a two week injection, so whatever side effects happen, you're stuck with it. My fear with both drugs was that it would exacerbate my neuropathic pain. Does your wife have neuropathy? Thanks.
