[QUOTE="connie104, post: 1888070, member: 56820"] I have been on Praluent which is a similar drug to Repatha for 6 months . It was prescribed by my Lipid consultant at the hospital, who I was referred to by my diabetic doctor as she was not happy with my cholesterol. My LDL cholesterol’s now 1 down from 5 and my total cholesterol is 4.1 down from 7 Like you I had tried 3 different Statins and could not tolerate the side effects. I also have had 2 strokes and was offered Praluent as I met the criteria required. My drug is funded every 6 months and has just been funded again for a further 6 months. I have been told I have to keep taking it as long as I tolerate it . I have not had any side effects really except a few nasty bruises on my belly from the jabs. [/QUOTE]
