Started Repatha - Side Effects

@loyd1957 Nexletol supposedly is for people that are statin and Repatha intolerant. So far I don’t have side effects 6 weeks in. I had terrible side effects on every other statin and on Repatha. I also started micro dosing Terzepitide for LPa and it did come down.

In my mind living life isn’t dependent on certain numbers. Also, they keep lowering the number they say you should have. I am skeptical about the whole numbers thing. Maybe some people really need lower numbers, who truly knows, but it is well documented that there are people that naturally have higher numbers and are healthy and stay healthy. My grandfather and my father died of heart attacks. My grandfather ate the food of the time ( full of pesticides), didn’t exercise and smoked. My father the same but he exercised and quit smoking after his first heart attack. My father took statins and died of a heart attack at 82.

My new cardiologist said that I should have lower numbers and that I have some plaque. But, for the first time, he admitted that I was healthy and not at risk of death from my heart any time soon. For 30 years my doctors implied I was at death’s door because I didn’t take statins. Like I told my daughter, at 78, if I died tomorrow no one will say “oh, she died young!” I am in a normal age range to die. If there are drugs that make me feel good and live longer, then, yay! Give them to me! But, if they make me sick and don’t cure me, then, no. I just want a happy healthy life which I hope is much longer, but longer is not better if you feel terrible.
