Wow! You have just described my exact symptoms also experienced. Thank you! Though I suspected it might be but never being sure whiles researching that it may be an allergy. I will stop Repatha for at least 2 months and in turn expecting these unpleasant symptoms to disperse. (Red: do not stop a medicine without consulting your prescribing doctor)

I experience bad diahorrea, frequency of urinating, tiredness, depression worse than usual, tingling in arms and shoulders. muscle soreness and weakness, dizziness, fatigue, itching dry hacking cough, mucous increase so I dry retch and other symptoms. I have discontinued because the side effects are worse than living with Cholesterol. I want quality of life, not going out and then coming home to sleep for 2 hours and poohing my pants twice in one day. they can shove Repatha and I don't feel there were enough studies done on this medication before releasing it to the market.
