Statins side effects

I have been through all the statins and the alternative to statins they all have bad side effects for me so I am unable to take any of them. I am now on the Repatha injection self administered every 2 weeks, no side effects and cholesterol down to 1!

This is interesting as I have also gone through all the statins suffering side effects with muscle spasms and pain. I will ask my cardiologist about Repatha although I have a very low cholesterol level already. Do you mind me asking what cardiac procedures if any you’ve had previously? Thanks.

I'm probably going to end up on repatha, other statins got me down to 6 but stuck at 6 for a while now. I have FH and been referred to a specialist who's put me on rosuvastatin for 6 months if that doesn't work will be repatha
