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.

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.
thank you encouraging glad you are recovering!
