I would like to share this. I had severe myopathy to my lower extremities with every known statin and Zetia. I was walking with a cane, would sit on the commode and couldn't get up. I was put on Repatha and my labs were improving. I put myself on a plant-based diet and Wow!! I've had no side effects and have been on the plant-based lifestyle for two years. My lab values have been great. I'm not trying to upset anyone. I'm just sharing what has worked me.

Hi Wendi, I was there where you are. I'm certain the repatha will work for you. I too have a blocked artery that couldn't be stented. Just a suggestion, the plant-based diet is awesome, has been life-saving for me. You are not alone.
