High Cholesterol, Familial Heterozygous
"I have genetic heterozygous familial hyperlipidemia. I have a good diet and decent amount of regular exercise. My LDL has shot way down after a short time on this drug, from 154 to 40-85 range. HDL is slightly lower at 37 than it used to be - 39,40. I&#039;ve been taking it for 6 months. My liver enzymes are elevated but still within range. I haven&#039;t seen too many physical side effects except recently I had bruising and soreness at the injection site with my last shot- this hasn&#039;t happened before. I sometimes have liver and digestive pain but I also have GI issues from before so I&#039;m not sure it&#039;s the drug. I&#039;m pleased but hoping my liver enzymes stabilize and the injection sites don&#039;t get too sore in the future. I also take high dose statins."
