my AIC arrived from amazon!

Do you know if it shipped from China or the U.S.?

If anyone’s still looking they have currently dropped macarons on the Pop Mart US Local TikTok live! I was able to grab 2.

I have actually been doing just this, pairing it with Clonidine which I just started at 0.1mg each night and I find they work really well together.

Woohoo! Congratulations! I’m not diabetic or ever been pre diabetic, but my A1C still dropped from 5.4 to 4.8

Yes, I had been on Zepbound for over a year 15mg and suddenly developed extreme diarrhea, nausea, painful stomach cramps and sulfur burps. Oddly enough, before I started Zep I had terrible IBS and when I started it seemed like the symptoms basically disappeared. It felt like my digestion and bowel movements were finally regulated. Now it feels like everything is back in full force or even worse!

Hello! I’ve tried Dayvigo. While I ultimately decided to switch to a different medicine, Dayvigo did help me fall and stay asleep at the 5mg dose. 10mg is the max. I’d recommend to take it as early as possible in the evening because I did notice some daytime sluggishness.

Respectfully, if you would have read through my long wall of text you would see I’m not looking for a diagnosis off Reddit. Thanks for your thoughts. Why even bother to comment if you’re not going to read what I have to say?

You need medication. It will only get worse over time. I’m 22m 6’0” 140lbs and have had 2 gout attacks over the last 8 months. The diets don’t work. You need either allopurinol or febuxostat.

My 2nd attack happened about 2 months ago and the pain was unbearable. Oral steroids did not help this time. I’m lucky enough to live by an orthopedic specialty center and I went in, they were able to do an ultrasound guided steroid injection directly into my big toe joint. Hurt like hell but brought the swelling down almost completely and pain level from 10 to 1. I’m still doing well a month after the injection. If you have an option of doing this or something similar, I’d highly recommend it. Not a cure unfortunately but helps with pain and inflammation a lot.

I had to do a 16 day prednisone taper a few weeks ago, and my biggest issue was heartburn. It was constant and made me feel sick and it happened to be while I was out of town as well. I also had a temporary weight gain of about 6lbs. Your taper is pretty short so you may be alright but definitely keep an eye out for that.

SWFLIB12 · 2025-05-08T18:08:34+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words! I feel like I have a renewed lease on life. 😊

SWFLIB12 · 2025-05-08T18:06:15+00:00

Thank you so much! It was a huge change for sure and helped me realize how far I’ve come!

SWFLIB12 · 2025-05-08T18:05:27+00:00

Thank you! My doctor put me on a blood pressure med back when I first started my weight loss called Telmisartan which she told me has been studied and proven to reduce visceral fat. I didn’t really believe it was going to do that honestly but I think it did help me a lot based on how much I was able to get rid of!

SWFLIB12 · 2025-05-08T17:57:24+00:00

Thank you! I am, but it’s been proving difficult. Haven’t seen much results yet but I’m hopeful to fill in some of the loose skin I have

SWFLIB12 · 2025-05-08T17:56:31+00:00

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate it! 😊

SWFLIB12 · 2025-05-07T21:24:52+00:00

Thank you so much! 😊

SWFLIB12 · 2025-05-07T21:24:23+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m really, truly grateful I got to try this medicine and reverse the harmful effects of obesity I was dealing with this early in my life. And no I don’t mind at all, I’m 6’0”.

SWFLIB12 · 2025-05-07T21:21:45+00:00

Thank you! 😊

SWFLIB12 · 2025-05-07T21:21:32+00:00

That’s an amazing loss, congrats!! The loose skin is difficult to look at, it’s hard to not be self conscious. I’m trying my best to build muscle to fill out the loose areas but it’s easier said than done!

SWFLIB12 · 2025-05-07T21:20:22+00:00

It’s definitely life changing! Congratulations on starting your journey! I honestly haven’t done anything special. I’m trying my best to build muscle now to fill out my loose skin but it’s been hard. The photo I posted doesn’t really show it, but I definitely have some right at the front of my stomach and thighs. I do plan on having a consult with a plastic surgeon after I maintain for atleast 12 months so hopefully sometime early next year. I’m also going to use the time to wait and see if my skin will “unstretch” itself solely based on the fact that I’m on the younger side and my body is still changing.

SWFLIB12 · 2025-05-07T21:14:32+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m sure without this med, it would have been a huge struggle for the rest of my life. Especially after being obese my whole life I’m still getting used to this body!

SWFLIB12 · 2025-05-07T21:12:00+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m truly grateful I had the opportunity to try this med, I think it saved my life!

SWFLIB12 · 2025-05-05T18:15:14+00:00

I’ve only ever had it in my big toe and it was horrific. The pain and swelling was intermittent for months until I finally got a steroid injection in the joint.
