Cholesterol numbers on no med, then on statin then on statin + Repatha

[Photon]

So timeline looks like this 2021 was Rosuvastatin+Eze, 2022 was the introduction of Praluent (the big dip in LDL), Repatha was switch to in January of this year (2025) as my insurance made it the preferred med and Praluent became nonpreferred/PA. My cardio says they work pretty much the same so my results should be interchangeable between praluent and repatha. I am unsure why the drop in HDL, he seemed to not be too concerned about that as my LDL had steadily declined, when I achieved 70s he was "happy" and I continued to push to drop it further (pitavastatin introduction). It appears the HDL bump could be the as described effect of Pitavastatin where HDLs are driven up by its use. Vascepa was introduced in August I believe, I was looking more for the pleiotropic effects of the icosapent described in a few papers and cardiologist was totally cool with it as my trigs are not "high".

Dam that HDL is impressive.
The PSCK9 dropped your LDL by almost 1/2.

Yeah I was very intolerant to rosuvastatin and my previous cardiologist didnt care, max dose due to MI with the zetia chaser. Switched to new doc he immediately DCed the statin and switched me to PCSK9i and bam I was off to the races.
