[QUOTE="elaine ann, post: 1885957, member: 69722"] I have tried several differant statins but they all made me ache dreadfully! This was jst too much as i hve Fibromyalgia and ache every day anyway & have to take large amounts of painkillers. At a hospital appointment 4 months ago when they thought I had angina, I was prescribed Repatha, this is an injection which I give myself every two weeks. Initially it made me ache for a few days but has settled so I feel fine. I'm going for a blood test next week to check my cholestol as it was previously too high & with having diabetes, high Cholestrol and being overweight they still consider me high risk of stroke or heart attack. Following an angiogram the cardiologist informed me my heart is in pristine condition!but I should carry on with the Repatha to keep my cholesterol under control. Apparently it is a very expensive drug and you have to meet a strict criteria to be eligible. Is anyone else on this drug? [/QUOTE]
