Started Repatha - Side Effects

Posted by HomeAgainLA @llynch17056, Mar 21 5:42pm

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.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Heart & Blood Health Support Group.

Has anyone else had moderate digestive and gastrointestinal issues? My situation is getting worse by the injection at three months. Breathing is improved and new blood work soon to check progress.

I didn’t have gastric issues or breathing issues, just fatigue, extreme back and kidney, joint and muscle pain. Which is better for your heart, lower numbers or being active and happy and not in chronic pain?

I will get a one time occasion, one week, following the injection of loose stools and tiny bit of cramping. However, when I compare that side effect, which is hardly anything to the statins that I had tried, I consider myself lucky.
