"Had very few side effects, some aches though I do a manual job daily. Reduced from 6.8 to 2.8 with no statins as totally allergic to all forms of statins. Aged 62, slightly overweight at 6 ft. 1. Get odd bruises at injection point in belly, only legs fine. I do cycle a lot though."

"I was considering stopping Repatha because the pain of the injections were horrible! I dreaded the day I had to give the injection. If you warm the Injection up, the shot was not supposed to cause as much pain. Researching information on Repatha, I found one gem that no one had told me Repatha can be left out up to 30 days! I left my injection out overnight and put it under my arm just before I took the shot. Hallelujah"

"I have taken 3 shots of Repatha. No obvious side effects except that I have been very irritable. I had irritability issues on statins, and that’s why I stopped them. Is this a possible side effect? My doctor doesn’t think so."
