r/repatha

Was finally able to do it after going to my cardiologist yesterday and the nurse walking me through it. Afterwards I thought, wow, that was really easy! I’ve had my Repatha for over a month and just couldn’t get up the courage, but finally I did it yesterday. And I’m super scared of needles too.
I’m hoping for no side effects, haven’t had any yet, but want to get through the first 36 hours.

I feel little hesitant to share this because I could not find much evidence, and I have been looking into alternate causes including nocebo. I switched from statin to biweekly Rapatha due to myalgias/reduced exercise tolerance and 6 months in, having same issues (it is severe, and gets worse after administration. Better on stopping it). Coenzyme Q10 supplement was not helpful unfortunately.
Thinking to take Bempedoic acid plus Ezetemibe, and/or switch to less frequent PCsK9 inhibitor.

Wondering if anyone else had similar experience and has any ideas. Both medications were effective but not tolerable.

Thanks for your input.
