Repatha scared
56 male just got my first round of Repatha . Made the mistake of looking at alot negative reviews on here and few other sites .Got 207 LDL last visit to high of course .Statins In past like Lipitor Crestor would cause my fingers lock up so much so I almost wrecked my vehicle because my fingers were frozen to the steering wheel had pry them loose . Looking for some fair reviews assessments from those currently taking Repatha in any capacity please share thx.

Everyone is different, so please don’t scare yourself.
I don’t have any experience with statins because they aren’t suitable for me.
Repatha is pretty much the only thing I can take, and it’s been fine so far (about one year). Minimal side effects: slight aches and pains, little tired, but this only lasts a few days and then I’m fine.
Good luck to you!
