I started reparable 140 mg injections every 2 weeks for familial hypercholesterolemia and after 1 week started having severe low back pain then moved to my legs with aching stabbing pains in legs thighs hips and legs feel tight inside some occurrences of burning in legs and feet feeling achy all over ! After 3 injections stopped have been off 30 days now and side effects are still horrible affecting daily life ! I have read anywhere from 30 to 90 days ! Of course this is not what dr or pharmacy says they say stay off a month see if better! I am eating ibuprofen and barely dulls the pain and aching!! What is everyone’s experience with how long side effects last?

I have trouble breathing just walking 50 feet; any exertion like yard work and I am trying to catch my breath; tired most of the time; my blood pressure (on medication) went from 120/75 to 160/100. Having trouble with my doctor putting me on this med when 4 different statins caused multiple side effects. It's now at the city dump after reading the site effects and I matched 3 of them. I pray the 60 to 90 day timeline to exit my system is real. Sorry I ever took the first injection. Still wonder how this blocks oxygen from my blood to cause breathing trouble.

I’m sorry you are having problems. I also have familial hypercholesterolemia and have used Repatha for a few years. Zero side effects and I’m super sensitive to medications. I just wonder if you are having symptoms from something else that has not yet been diagnosed. RA? Other autoimmune issues? I hope you are able to find answers. Wishing you good health.
