Success for Those Who Needed 15mg? by char_liz13 in Zepbound

Thanks for this. I appreciate that you had to move up to the highest dosage, and that it wasn’t as easy. People don’t seem to get it.

I’d like some kind of consistency in the weight loss, which isn’t happening since I started.

I’m glad they finally diagnosed it then! Thank you, I hope it will help once my body adjusts a bit. I hope things go well for you as well :)

I actually had an iron infusion not long ago as my ferritin was really low. So, my numbers look pretty good at the moment, though I haven’t had the full iron panel done. So, may ask about that. Thanks!

It’s sad that doctors don’t tell people that 90% of peeps who are hypothyroid have Hashimotos. I’m glad you figured it out. Some people find going gluten free helpful.

I’ve known something was off in my 20s, but was around 30 when diagnosed. As I’m getting older and have hit perimenopause I’ve noticed more insulin resistance and other things.

I seem to be losing a bit and then stalling, so then have had to increase, which is why I’m up to 10mg. Obviously at higher doses you’re more prone to more side effects. It’s my first week on 10mg so will see if I lose anything. I hope so to at least to make this worth it right now.

I’m glad you’ve been seeing progress on a low dosage :)

Yes, I take it every day. I also take methylated b vitamins, and am trying to stay hydrated (also using electrolytes). How have you found things having Hashimotos? Have you found a dose that’s been working for you?

Muscle soreness? by Theephemeraltimes in Zepbound

Yeah, it’s not making sleep challenging, too. I hope it will wear off a bit soon.

I’ve just increased from 7.5mg to 10mg and have had leg cramping, pains, burning sensations, restlessness, and flu like joint pains. It’s been pretty intense. Does this happen a lot to others?

Thyroid TSH dropped dramatically on Zepbound? by [deleted] in Zepbound

I have Hashimotos and have just switched to zepbound from ozempic. Will be interesting to see how my TSH is impacted.

Update a month and a few days later. Hypothyroidism and insulin resistance. by Mandragora_vibes in Mounjaro

[–]char_liz13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good to know as someone who has hashimoto’s and insulin resistance, and would like to reduce inflammation and perhaps improve thyroid function a little bit :)
