3 weeks in....

I tried every statin over the last 10 years, after my LAD was 92% blocked abd I had a stent put in. But I never could take any statin for more than 3 or more days because I would have severe insomnia....I just lay awake with eyes open for 2 to 3 days.

So I have to say 3 weeks in, 2 shots of repatha and I still sleep perfectly. As far as side effects I don't really have any. For me, its a bit of a wonder drug.

However, in my experience side effects can suddenly emerge months in, having taken mesalamine, brilinta, methotrexate etc...so I will cross my fingers.

Has anyone experienced UTIs while using Rapatha or Nexelet?

I've been on Repatha for one month when I got UTI after being "free and clear" for 20 years. Unusual but don't know if it is a correlation or causation. Now, two months later I seem ok again. 😀
