Thank you for responding, and for the info.
I'm glad that Leqvio has worked in your favor.😊
My cardiologist strongly recommended injectables, but each one has its own set of factors to be considered. And I've tried out several, with the worst side effects from simvastatin.
At this point (history of familial hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular considerations), we made the decision that injectables are not avenues for me. At lease one of the injectables require using along with a statin. Having peripheral neuropathy is another consideration for me, since it's been shown that there's an increase in PN symptoms when taking statins for longer than a year. I am again trying pravastatin (which had also caused muscle pains, etc) at a really low dose to see if that helps.
Will see what fasting blood work shows after being on 10mg pravastatin for 6 months come Jan '24, when I have next cardio visit.
A great deal for me to take into consideration.

Thanks again for making the time to respond, and best health to you.
