For High Cholesterol, Familial Heterozygous "After 45 days of use, I have developed severe muscle pain and lower body stiffness, much worse than statin pain. I do not have brain fog, muscle cramps, skin rashes, or other problems I had with statins."

For High Cholesterol, Familial Heterozygous "I am a 74-year-old male. Just had the second dose of Leqvio. (I had to stop Praluent after two dosages due to extreme itching.) LDL has reduced by 50% after the first dosage 3 months ago. I have experienced slight muscle discomfort, but nothing major. Highly recommend treatment, but it is expensive."

For High Cholesterol, Familial Heterozygous "I could not take statins without side effects. Sore muscles, aching joints. I was crying at night, could not sleep. After using Leqvio for 2 doses, I don't even need to take any statins. I also changed the way I eat."
