high cholesterol, familial heterozygous
"I had a heart attack in 2014, my doctor put me on lipitor 10 to 40mg a day with very little effect, then 10 to 40mg or crestor with very little effect.  My LDL was 115 and HDL was 39.  Then he put me on Repatha, after 6 weeks my LDL is now 41 and my HDL is 51.   The only side effect that I have noticed is a very little bit of congestion.  Of course the big drawback from this drug is the cost.  At $14,000 a year it is going to be hard to get past the insurance company.  But it does work."
