1/4 So sad for these poor souls who still believe that ⬇️ Cholesterol = good health. “I started taking Repatha last July. I had been previously taking Lipitor. I had side effects especially muscle pain and joint pain. I had been stopped for about 5 months.
2/4 My current Cardiologist said I should try Repatha due to the low number of reported side effects. During second months injections (every two weeks) I felt mild muscle pain and weakness. I took Tylenol to help with the pain. It has become progressively more insidious.
3/4 Yesterday, 5 days from last injection I could not get out a chair, running nose, trouble walking, can't go up and down stairs, severe pain in ankles, knees, hips and back. loss of upper body strength, itching.
4/4 A yr ago I could carry two 40 bags of wood up 2 flights of stairs. Now I can't even lift a bag off the ground. Advised cardio. I was no longer ever going to take Repatha. Not heard a word in 5 days. My advice, is don't ever partake in lipid lowering. It has ruined my life.
