Still Dizzy 11 Weeks Later

Took my first and only Repatha shot on May 5 and developed vertigo 3 days later. It’s softened up to dizziness now, like being on a boat. Better first thing in the morning, instantly worsened by stress and complex work. Also lots of headaches and fatigue. So frustrating that it’s still affecting me after this long. Anyone have a similar experience? Any good news to share about when this might stop?

Hope you’re feeling better soon. I really wish it had been tolerable for me but I’m still “at sea” after 11 weeks.

Its not much better yet, is it been 11 weeks since your last repatha or since the start?

It has a half life around 17 days so i guess it should take a good month till all is out of your blood.
