Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

My GP said he doesn't know much about the drug and only recommended taking Tylenol. My Cardio doc, at my suggestion, had me get a blood test for creatine kinase (a product of muscle breakdown that both statins and Repatha can cause). The results were in the normal range so I guess that's not the issue.

And yes, as you imply, statins can cause a serious condition called rhabdomyolysis, a rare condition that causes muscle breakdown and, in the most severe cases, death. I had a second cousin die of the condition which is why I was particularly concerned about it.
