Almost there!

The 'lifer' acceptance is actually a healthier psychological frame than the people who go in treating it as a temporary fix - when the underlying condition doesn't resolve, the medication that manages it is just part of maintenance, same as any other chronic condition medication. Better quality of life for longer is the whole point.

The psoriasis improvement alongside the weight-related metabolic changes is consistent with GLP-1's anti-inflammatory mechanism - the cytokine pathway modulation that reduces metabolic inflammation also affects autoimmune skin conditions for some people. It's not a listed indication but it's a documented effect.

Been injecting 2mg of the copper peptide daily for roughly six weeks now, and I'm generally doubtful about most wellness claims but not this one, within a week the painfully dry, chalky-white patches down my lower legs stopped hurting and actually regained some color! Also deal with severe scalp psoriasis, thick patches that used to be agony to comb or pick at, and it's nearly cleared up entirely.

Going to keep using this indefinitely since it's genuinely improved my day-to-day life, the itching, pain, and constant bleeding from scratching that plagued me for years has finally eased.

Next time I restock I'm grabbing two of the larger 100mg kits to last me a good while.

It does get easier. Ended up at 5 mg myself (autoimmune diabetes here) and eventually the side effects basically disappeared entirely. Then insurance threw a wrench in things and I went without it for around six weeks. Had to restart at 2.5 and I'm only now back up to 5.0. Going through all the same side effects again like it's brand new. Give it time, it calms down and gets better!

Thanks! I went from 221 down to 127, and at 5'2 that's a good spot. My type 2 diabetes used to be uncontrolled and now it's under control, and my psoriatic arthritis is far better managed. I feel better and life is better. Don't sit there doubting it, just start. The difference is huge.

MJ opened my eyes to the amount of pain and inflammation I never realized wasn't normal. Just like you, 2.5mg gave me an instant energy shift. Light on my feet, standing and walking long stretches with my back behaving. A decade since that last happened.
