For Hypertriglyceridemia "I have been taking Fenofibrate 160 mg for almost 15 years. I have back pain so bad it takes my breath away. I have gone through test after test and more physical therapy than I care to think about. A few days ago, I decided to check the side effects of this drug. I quit taking it and already feel better. Guess we’ll see what my doctor says...."

For Hypertriglyceridemia "First month had some heavy side effects. Nausea being the worst, stomach pain, back pain, right shoulder pain (still there), most have subsided after second month. Had triglycerides over 4000. Now at around 300 because of the medicine. Life-saving for me. Though if you miss a dose or eat the wrong thing, you know it. Plus, no alcohol ever again. Sad but I can be alive to see my son grow up. Small price to pay to live."

For Hyperlipoproteinemia "This medication with Vascepa brought my triglyceride level from 500 to 150, with a congested nose every night as a side effect, along with back pain and sensitivity to light. Not a bad trade, I'll say."

For Hypertriglyceridemia "First 3 weeks were good. I started having gallbladder attacks, which led to pancreatic pain. I also had lower back pain near the buttocks on the spine."

For Hypertriglyceridemia "I took fenofibrate continuously for 40 days. I never had triglycerides so low in my life (150 mg). Due to multiple side effects (sore throat, sinusitis, muscle aches, and tiredness), I decided to stop it. Now 2 weeks later, I felt well and all side effects went away. I decided to restart the medication, this time 3 times per week (145 mg). 10 days later, I am back with leg and back pain as well as a sensation of general weakness as if I had a viral illness. Today I decided to stop it and call my physician."
