Six weeks of Terz is workable timing to make the switch - 8mg Reta can restart a stall, and some respond better to the mechanism anyway. Have next supply lined up before you're deciding under pressure.
since mounjaro my skin got super sensitive - allodynia basically. started magnesium for constipation and literally felt my skin normalizing. two days in on daily supplements and it's almost completely gone. on 2.5 mg so your mileage may vary but putting it out there.
I was taking 5mg creatine daily and my bloodwork was stellar - until I touched creatine. Off it, my labs look incredible. NAD didn't do much for me, honestly. I've looked into the others you mentioned but haven't started yet.
Keep a record of these skin issues! You might need it for insurance if you end up needing skin removal later!
Also, try Amlactin. I hear it can take some time for your skin to get used to it.
Mounjaro's been a total game-changer for how I relate to food and eating, honestly. I'm grateful for that. But losing weight and then dealing with loose skin on my stomach and chest is rough, you know? I don't really want to go the surgery route either, it's not cheap and insurance won't touch...
Glad you're seeing real change. Losing 18kg is a major deal, even if people around you didn't make a fuss about it. The numbers speak for themselves. Keep tracking those wins!
Congrats, you look fantastic! I've been making my own injections using the peptide version and it's been 7 months. Down 103 lbs from 400 to 297. Nobody believes I was that heavy but I'm thinking 250-265 is the target.
I'm a little concerned your doctor just dismissed it! Itchy skin that's bad enough to scratch until it bleeds needs attention. Seriously, consider seeing a different one.
Just a thought, could it be eczema? I get it if my skin gets dry at all.
I slather on a really thick cream head to toe as...
Started at 2mg a few months back and moved up to 4mg where I've stayed. Everyone's different but I'd say stick with the lowest dose that actually works for you. Going too fast can leave you with loose skin down the line, so be patient with your body.
