47 lbs down is huge, noticeable on anybody. maybe he's feeling weird about the change? sometimes people get awkward when someone close loses weight. could be worth asking what's really going on.

I had this in my underarms, but it lasted for like 5 months. Happened on both Ozempic and Mounjaro. My doctor gave me a topical, and it eventually cleared!

I have never had this reaction to it, though I do get site reactions sometimes. I am so sorry you are going through this.

Very itchy indeed! I think the prescription creams worked for me, though it took some time... or maybe I just got used to the med.

Second week at 0.25mcg. Still have appetite suppression but acid reflux and nausea the day after pinning—super sensitive to Tirz apparently. Took famotidine at night, woke up fine. Eating more today than I could last week without nausea. Had food allergies and gastroparesis before. Digesting...

That's interesting. I've heard that injecting the shot farther from the stomach (like in the thigh) might minimize some side effects. Has anyone tried that?

wait, do you mean mixing them in one shot? according to that chart, don't mix glp1s with anything. what does that even mean?

I had them when I started. Now, I just burp up whatever I ate the day before. It's so strange! I had some of a bacon cheeseburger two days ago, and all day yesterday I could taste that bacon cheeseburger when I burped. Really gross!!!

It's different for everyone. I've seen some people not respond much to 2.5mg. It's not always a therapeutic dose, and it takes a little time to build up in your system. Stick with it!

🤣🤣🤣 My husband was across the room and asked, "Is that sulfur I smell?" "Umm, yeah, sorry!" 😩

The first week for me. But, we also started a low-carb eating plan at the same time. I don't want to call it a "diet" though. I began with 2mg of Reta about 10 weeks ago and have slowly increased to 5mg. I took the first 5mg this morning. At first I couldn't eat hardly anything, but I'm eating a...

A well-managed keto diet can also reverse diabetes.

With T2D and Ozempic, my A1C dropped a lot. I'm off the insulin pump now, just one insulin shot a day. Still on Ozempic! Medicare didn't want to pay for the pump because my C-Peptide showed my pancreas still works. Seems I'm less insulin resistant now and my pancreas is doing more of the work!

This thread's been super helpful for a newbie like me, thanks! I'm trying to absorb as much as I can, and hoping I've grasped the basics!

You mentioned earlier that a 5% overfill isn't unusual, which would mean 10% in this specific case. Percentages are percentages. Maybe you meant a 0.5mg overfill, which would *be* 10%? I don’t stress about overfills, or starting at a low percentage of typical dosing schedules.

I think everyone needs a few basic supplements, especially after 50. Even if you aren't using GLP-1s. Magnesium, CoQ10, Omega-3, D/K2, and collagen are a good start. The rest depends on your diet and health. I added creatine and electrolytes since starting Reta. I also use...

If you reconstitute a 5mg vial, then 1mg is just a fifth of whatever volume you ended up with. Since 1mL = 100 units, then 0.4mL, or 40 units, is a fifth of 2mL. So yeah, that math seems right.

I take fish oil, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D since I don't get much sunlight. The magnesium has helped with sleep, and fortunately, Reta hasn't messed with my sleep like it has for others.

It really is. It's hard to describe to someone who hasn't experienced it, but it's like a constant hum in the background finally goes silent.

I didn't lose any weight with that other med after three months of feeling awful. But I did with this other one.
