8 Months On: Still Working?

working pretty well for me at the moment. getting to my target dose took some time, about four months to reach 6mg, but patience really does pay off.
 
Haven't seen much of a rash issue myself, though I know some do. Was on it for over 6 months before things improved. Now on maintenance doses and feeling better overall. Stopped needing the daily antihistamine.
 
Been on this a year. A1c was 6.5-7 on other meds. Switched and now it's 5.6 and 5.9 on point-5mg. Lost maybe 15 lbs, kind of plateaued. Off one med but still on metformin. Wild thing: I eat garbage and it doesn't matter. Had a yogurt-banana-peanut butter smoothie for breakfast and barely a bump in blood sugar. Plus my cholesterol's normal—triglycerides especially used to be really high.
 
No seat extender after 22% body weight down is the travel NSV that resets how you move through airports - those are the ones that stick differently than the scale.
 
Eight months and still moving is actually one of the more meaningful outcomes - the people who plateau and stop aren't the norm, but they're louder online. 25 lbs in 8 months while switching medications is real progress, especially if the trend is still going. The brand switch from sema to Wegovy shouldn't matter much functionally, same compound. Have you noticed any difference in how the Wegovy pen feels compared to what you started on? I'm still on the same brand but curious.
 
The plateau-then-drop pattern is consistent - composition keeps shifting between visible drops. Chocolate persisting is normal; the med suppresses volume more than specific cravings.
 
22% at 8 months is in the upper response range - the interesting question at that point is what dose level maintains it, not what pushes further.
 
ISR and welt differences within the same household on the same kit is one of those things that's hard to explain without getting into individual immune response - the fact that your wife reacts and your mom had to stop while you feel nothing isn't unusual. The convipen check instinct makes sense when you're not feeling anything; the air squirt test is the right move. Individual tolerance across the same product and even the same family varies more than most people expect.
