high cholesterol
"I have had  high cholesterol with hypertension since I was in my late 20s. I was diagnosed with CAD when I turned 50 after having my first of three stents in the same blood vessel. 

I was in the double blind test using Amgen's PCSK9 inhibitor for about two years. When it became available to the public, I requested it from my insurer. Amgen supplied the drug to me for no cost for 6 months when my insurance company finally denied coverage. While I was taking the injections, my LDL was 20; overall cholesterol 109. Once I went off the drug, my LDL rose to 103; overall cholesterol 212. Once I went on medicare another supplemental prescription ins. company, I reapplied for Repatha. I was approved for one year & am currently taking it."
