Morning Medical Update - GLP-1 Drugs and their Side Effects

[@mbe102]

The severe side effect of losing 88lbs was so hard to deal with.... I was expecting more lol. Its clearly not for everyone, but for me, it was a life saver. I just hope people get the drugs, and access too them, that they need, to help improve their lives. For me, my dose is 2.8 / week. But it works out to 2.4 every 4 days. And the reason for that, is that I've been on it for more than 3 years now, and to stay in that 'GLP-1' state where looking at food makes it gross to me, 4 days for me, instead of 7 is what works best. I just metabolize it too fast. Takes 1 to 2 days to get INTO that feeling, and then I'm only in it for 3, and then the last few days it falls off and you just start over. Whereas at the start, I was in it, ALL the time.

I'm not a fan of it. My mom is on it, and she is bloated a lot and she doesn't like meat very much anymore. She is almost 88 years old and is diabetic with congestive heart disease. I feel like people are Guinea pigs right now. They also say you have to be on it for life. We're going to see what happens when people get off of it.
