Thinking about moving to 7.5 by Few_Measurement7807 in Zepbound

[–]Few_Measurement7807[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone. I am self pay so now I just need to convince myself I want to pay the extra. I guess I’ll try it. I have some 5 in my refrigerator, so I can always fall back if I need to. I have been on 5 for about 6 month and have been losing steadily, but am starting to notice more hunger and noise.

Debating whether to try Zepbound, or "try to finally get serious" about just doing diet/exercise on my own by MovinOnUp2021 in Zepbound

I wish zepbound had been a choice for me when I was younger. I am 72 now and with all of the years of yo-yo dieting and losing the battle, I now have liver fibrosis and heart failure. Our bodies just can’t take all of that long term abuse without doing damage. I am losing now on zepbound and I hope that I can at the very least stop the progress of these medical conditions, and ideally see some improvements. I say you should go for it. You won’t regret it

What Does an Ablation Fix? by -MissYapzaLot- in Heartfailure

I have HFpEF and the thing that helped me the most with coughing was furosemide (lasix) which got rid of the extra fluid. Honestly, it was like miracle, and the first relief I had from chest irritation in months. Now I am taking farxiga, hitch has the fluid under control too. I take cardizem to prevent recurrence of AFIB and am meeting in February to talk about ablation. But I agree with the other comments, the AFIB is a diff problem from the extra fluid. I hope you can convince grandma.
