My Dortors put me on Protopic or Pantoptazole. Take 30 minutes before my other meds.
I've been on repatha over a year and no side effects. Couldn't do statins because of the bad muscle ache.

@swilkins1974 I don’t have one yet. I’m trying some supplements and altering my diet a lot. Hoping to keep it at bay. Have a healthy heart, calcium score of zero, exercise daily, target weight. Yet my total has been in mid 200’s for the past 27 years.

Can I ask how long you were on statins and how long before muscle aches went away?
One year but only when I went from 5 mg to 7.5 (I split a pill) did the side effects get unbearable.
Effects were mostly gone in 3 weeks.
