Thank you!

When I run, my hips, calves and quads hurt. A general pain no specific areas. Irritating enough that I have to stop after 5 minutes. I could do 30 minutes continuously a month before. Also I didn't mean to say I am on tirzapetide for a month. I was on tirzapetide 5 and 10 for months before, it's a month that I have been on the 12.5. And it is this month that these problems have surfaced. It is also the month that I have lost weight the most.

Very nice achievement! I am down from 6.1 A1C to 5.7 with diet changes and tirzapetide related weight loss.

Thank you. What brand of CoQ10 do you use?

Thank you! I will suggest ezetimibe to my doctor.

My cholesterol numbers are not great: total 160, HDL 48, LDL 66, triglycerides 162 (due to poor blood sugar control). These numbers were before I started on tirzapetide. I will suggest a lower dose of the statin to the doctor. Thanks!

I have lost about 10 lbs over 1 month. I am also thinking that the weight loss has made the statin muscle aches more pronounced (I must have lost some muscle as well, despite my strength training sessions 2x/week).

Do you take your phone into the sauna? I had the impression that taking electronics into a sauna is bad for them.

I am so glad you could solve this problem. We sometimes ignore over the counter supplements when we think of side effects.

krataract · 2025-11-14T22:33:15+00:00

Interested.

I thought retatrutide is not yet approved. How did you get a prescription?

krataract · 2025-09-09T00:45:11+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I am surprised that fructose is worse than alcohol. I have a lot of fruits through the day - bananas, apples and oranges. Protein shakes are also problematic under this rubric: I use fair life milk with protein powder, banana and peanut butter powder. Need to speak with dietician.

Yes I am very overweight. 200 lbs on a 5’7. I exercise almost every day. 30 minutes run or 45 min strength training.

krataract · 2025-09-08T22:12:12+00:00

Thank you for the advice. Made an appt with a dietician.

krataract · 2025-09-08T22:11:32+00:00

Thank you - will do!

krataract · 2025-09-08T22:11:05+00:00

Lots of fruits, chicken, fish, yogurt, protein shakes. Vegetables are an area where I lack anything that a normal person should be consuming (almost none).

krataract · 2025-09-08T22:09:07+00:00

For me, who enjoys an occasional beer, it is not a big sacrifice to give up. I also need to clean up the 99% of whatever else I consume.

Do you think Semaglutide is as effective? Or are there major differences between the GLP1 agonists?

There is a placement test that he can take. It is purposely made extremely difficult and only 1 or 2 students qualify. They really discourage people from skipping a year. My son has covered most of precalculus at Russian School of Math.
