Only took 1 75 mg shot. Experienced runny nose, diarrhea, nausea, back,stomach and hip pain. Also raised my bp 10 points. I already take 5 bp meds. Not taking another shot. Had high hopes for this drug as cannot tolerate statins.

My LDL went from 120 to 37 over the first two months, which would be great by itself, since cardiologists believe plaque regression occurs below 70. BUT I had an adverse reaction. All joints in my body swelled and ached, particularly fingers and knuckles. And I developed symptoms of OCD - intrusive thoughts- that I'd never had before.

All joints in my body swelled and ached, particularly fingers and knuckles. And I developed symptoms of OCD - intrusive thoughts- that I'd never had before. I stopped taking the stuff 6 weeks ago and the joints and OCD have not returned to normal. I am not a doctor, but I suspect that LDL plays a positive role in maintaining cell health and removing too much of it is a bad idea.

I have experienced an increase in iron content of my blood and this is a very dangerous medical problem as it can and will cause heart attack and stroke, the very problem that I am trying to avoid by taking the drug. Now there is rumor that it will cause a brain infection? I wonder what will happen after taking myself off the drug?
