Morning protein shake covers turmeric, B complex, NAD+ precursors, liver sups, and a multi. First meal around noon: D3/K2, vitamin C, more turmeric. After dinner: taurine, magnesium, glycine. Spread across three batches. With appetite this low, supplements are the only way to cover the gaps - I...

That's a great point. It's probably geared toward people who don't like needles.

Adding to The_Lady's comment, dose tracking is super important! Many patients find it helpful to not only track the dose but also the injection location. Some evidence suggests that there may be slight differences in absorption based on location. Rotating injection sites is also important to...

why stick it out at 2 mg with all those side effects? lower the dose or try splitting 1 mg on injection day and another 1 mg a few days later. nobody should have to suffer.

One source says it's 'likely unsafe'. That covers it pretty well, doesn't it?

Seriously?! I saw it on one of those compounding websites. And they're charging the same price it seems as their injectable version. Thoughts?

I've noticed that BPC, TB, and KPV are great for soft tissue injuries and mild inflammation. Tirz also helped with minor inflammation, like stiffness. If you're in serious pain, none of this stuff will eliminate it entirely. It cured my elbow tendinitis and leg stiffness, but it's had no effect...

I've been taking osteo biflex with turmeric. It kinda helped years ago with back pain, but it isn't as effective now that I’m almost 50 😂

I'm at 12.5mg right now. Was on 10mg for about four months until recently.

I drink almost a gallon a day, or the tirz dries me out. I'm on prescription allopurinol for the uric acid, but it doesn't seem to work as well since I started tirz. 🤷‍♂️

I read a study about that too! It focused on older men and seemed to show a reduced risk of prostate, colorectal, and breast cancers with the use of some weight loss drugs. More research is definitely needed, but it's promising!

Anyone have recommendations? My gout's acting up, and arthritis runs in the fam. What can I do for body inflammation and maybe some joint/cartilage support? I'm only on tirzepatide right now, and it's helped a little, but not enough.

I just started on Ozempic last week. I was kinda nervous about the price. I was pleasantly shocked it was $0, but the cash price was nearly $1300!! I really wonder how much it will cost when I increase my dose?

I use an ice pack and numb the area before each injection, even though people say it doesn't hurt. I don't believe them. 😅

Funny you say that, Riley03, I injected my first 7.5 mg into my thigh last night and that hurt like crazy 😂 My bf grabbed my butt when we were out shopping, and his hand fit the whole cheek this time LOL! Weight loss gains!

Yes, Blair1992, I definitely feel the injections more now that I'm thinner. It's like there's less cushion there.

Exactly! I'm all about using the lowest dose that works. No need to go higher if you don't have to.

I started with 0.25 weekly for about 3 months, now I'm on 0.5 for 2 months. Started at 205, now 168. I am in no rush to increase. Maybe I will, but I doubt I'll ever need more than 1mg. And I also don't want to stop suddenly. 0.5 seems good, first couple days I struggle to eat anything, even...

I went with tirzepatide for similar reasons. A close friend with a medical background (RN) suggested it provided better control over food cravings. She had fantastic results, so I took her advice. So far, the results have been excellent for me. Best of luck as you start the process.

I never had that, but I was only on it for 3 months. Now I'm using reta.
