Dealing with lupus alongside ongoing pain problems. Kept hearing such good things about reta that a few weeks back I significantly cut my tirz and added it in. Absolute worst call I've made. Every bit of pain and swelling I'd been managing came storming back and pushed me straight into a lupus...

What amount of the dual-action medication were you running, and what amount of the third compound? Thinking about trying the same combination myself.

OMG...roughly 149kgs gone in about 14 months??? That's absolutely wild!!! And truly amazing!!! Barely anyone sees results like this. So thrilled for you. Best of luck going forward!!! Whenever you get a chance, would love to hear how long you stayed on each dose level and what your eating...

Thanks, and yeah, you're probably right. Going to try adding more resistance training plus a higher protein intake. Semaglutide made it almost too easy in the beginning, food choices barely mattered and the pounds still fell off. Bloating's a constant issue lately though, which isn't helping...

Trying to muster up a little sympathy here because I get where you're coming from. Standing 5'9, I weighed around 190 at nineteen and desperately wanted it gone but never managed it. Had a baby at twenty-four, weight climbed to 225, and it's never dipped back to that 190 mark since. Now at...

Rely on the 3ml and 1ml sizes for reconstitution, all free through a public needle-exchange program along with sharps disposal containers and alcohol wipes. Actual injections mostly happen through refillable insulin pens though.

Planning to start the third compound sometime within the coming three weeks (currently running twice-weekly doses of the dual-action medication). Got a stockpile of the larger-strength kits since that math lines up with my expected usage, same reasoning behind stocking the bigger tirz kits...

Tried all three at different points, but I'd still tell anyone to start with the standard GLP-1 option so there's somewhere to shift if it eventually loses effect for any reason down the road. Sticking with that one for maintenance now since it's the cheapest, but keeping the others around just...

Lemon Bottle. Haven't tried it myself but have read up on it. People use it to target fat cells locally. Reportedly it removes fat cells right where it's injected.

I've seen the number tossed around every way imaginable, 8% by the end of last year, 12% by the following quarter, and lately people are saying 15%. Feels like these figures deserve about as much trust as that famous made-up 83% stat, /j. There's probably a kernel of truth in there, just wrapped...

Not totally sure I've got this straight, so would appreciate some input on growth hormone peptides paired with a prostate medication. From what I gather, that prostate drug works by dialing down growth hormone activity to slow prostate enlargement, and if that's accurate, wouldn't running a...

What else are you doing beyond the medication? Any lifestyle shifts at all? The medication alone won't accomplish much without changes alongside it. It's not some miracle cure. Nothing really showed up for me until my third dose increase from my starting point, and even then it coincided with...

The most straightforward path is sticking with a single weekly shot, only breaking it into pieces if some particular problem actually calls for it. A handful of scenarios justify splitting things up. First, reactions that hit hardest a day or two after injecting, where softening the peak...

Ran Ozempic for a year and a half and hit a wall, so I moved over to Mounjaro at .2.5 five weeks back as a bridge option. Doctor bumped me to .5 but insurance held things up, so it's actually been a solid fortnight since my last injection. Curious how the .5 amount will hit once I finally take...

Might not be useful advice, but the pharmacist volunteered to handle that very first shot while explaining every step along the way. Skip that intervention and there'd probably have been hours spent frozen, pen in hand, unable to follow through. Eventually a small personal ritual got built...

Yes, been at a small dose for close to two months, and the number keeps dropping steadily. No plans to move up. If it's working, why change anything? Makes tapering off easier and cheaper down the line too.

The second compound works better for me. Plenty of people here move from the first compound over to it Stopped injecting four months back and haven't put on a single pound These medications only deliver results if paired with real changes to diet and activity level. Happy to share what's...

Very similar situation here, different height though. Been at this for a good while and only down a modest amount. Starting to consider myself a slow responder at this point. Currently on a moderate dose. Planning to move up eventually, and after enough time, might bring up switching to a...

For plenty of people, this drug class ends up being a lifetime medication, definitely the case here. Some people stay right at their last effective dose, others taper down gradually. Sure plenty stop entirely too, but that's not the plan here. Genuinely love not dealing with food noise anymore...

Carrying significant excess weight comes with so many documented risks, gallbladder issues, pancreatitis, cardiovascular disease, several cancer types. Hard for me to picture the second compound's risks coming anywhere close to that in comparison. Given a full year with zero side effects, I'm...
