Started Repatha - Side Effects
I had terrible side effects with statins (any statin, any dosage). For about 30 years my doctors have pushed statins and
I have resisted. Finally I agreed to Repatha. The first week I had zero side effects. With my second dose, 2 weeks in, i woke up and my joints and muscles hurt a LOT.
1. Does this side effect go away?
2. What do you know about the recent information that the Repatha trials underreporting deaths from cardiac events while taking Repatha.

I tried that regime, too. I’m happy for you. It didn’t work for me. It reduced the side effects, but the side effects still interfered with my life where I couldn’t do things I enjoyed doing. I wish you luck. At this point I have given up on statins.
