ferre, late onset chills are a recognized side effect of Repatha. It is thought to be an antibody reaction to the medication It will be best to see your provider to make certain that Repatha is the cause and to maybe to change this medications. It must be fairly intense to be so cold that you don't want to go anywhere.
Hi @ferre, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. Feeling constantly cold or having chills severe enough to keep you from going out sounds very disruptive. Since you’ve been taking Repatha for over a year before these symptoms started, I’d encourage you to let your healthcare provider know as soon as possible. They can help determine whether this could be related to the medication or whether something else, such as an infection, thyroid issue, anemia, or another medical condition, might be contributing.
While you’re waiting to hear from your provider, I’m wondering if you could share a little more. Did the chills begin suddenly or gradually? Do they happen all the time or mainly after your injections? Have you noticed a fever, weight changes, fatigue, or any other new symptoms?
I see @gently has similar concerns. I’d also be interested to hear if any other members taking Repatha have experienced something similar.
