Started Repatha - Side Effects

Posted by HomeAgainLA @llynch17056, Mar 21, 2024

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.

Suspicious that Repatha is causes the same joint and muscle pain I had with statins. Wonder drug for reducing ldl. Mine reduced to 17. I’ve had to stop it for awhile to see if the muscle and joint pain goes away.

It took quite a while after I quit Repatha to start to recover. I thought it was going to be permanent. I also lost muscle strength. I have practiced yoga going on 12 years and I couldn’t do it. I didn’t have the strength and it hurt so much in my joints. 2-3 months to recover, but I’m strong again.
