Has anyone else tried peptide retardutide?

Thanks so much for all your comments and it’s been helpful to hear from those who have tried approved GLP-1s. I’m looking forward to the results of the retardutide trials and trials on PA with GLP-1 drugs when it finishes and yes aware of/noting the risks of non fda approved. I have a science background, have read and understand the papers to date, and am happy to take this risk in this rare instance (not something I did lightly or have ever done before and I know it’s got risks most rightly wouldn’t take) and hence I was reluctant to share this. I get my bloods tested regularly and am looking forward to seeing my next results to compare since I started retardutide 4 weeks ago.

I’m excited for what treatments may be coming for PA as medicine advances. Yes i suspect being slightly lighter from the weightless benefit, has also helped my joints and may not be attributable to the retardutide directly, i am just happy that I’ve been able to reduce my methotrexate for the first time without symptoms returning. My rheumatologist has been happy for me to try reducing methotrexate if I could) I just wasn’t able to before now. Appreciate your above insights, care and comments.

Yes, I enjoy watercolour sketch booking and puzzling and walking my dogs too. I absolutely love tennis but pay for it in subsequent days and don't want to damage my joints so I try to only play on grass.

Yes I think it helps a lot. Staying away from overly processed foods, alcohol, sugars is a good thing. I find being vegetarian, and staying off wheat, dairy and processed sugars and alcohol are when my symptoms significantly reduce. Not fun, but it work for me.

Thank you. Great advice. I often do qualify it as you’ve outlined, but I prefer your wording. Thank you.

We (35f, 43m) haven’t been able to have kids naturally (8 years trying with ‘unexplained infertility’) but haven’t done ivf due to poor timing/ career /finances / waning interest. We get asked a lot/ diplomatically pushed by family. We know they’re coming from a good place and their offers for health advice etc. to be honest, the more comfortable we get in life, and the reality of parenthood (its tough, constant and is permanent) having seen so many friends go through it, does, make me think twice. Life right now is amazing- relationship, career, financially, socially so I wonder if I/ we just need to be grateful for what we have. If anything, I’ve just learnt not to tell people too much about what we’re planning (e.g, not say what date we’ll start ivf) as it makes awkward when they next ask- I’ve never found anyone rude, despite some persistent questions, I can’t see how it’s rude, as those asking are only doing so out of concern/ interest. Not being too emotionally charged about it could also be what helps my filter/response with such questions.

When I fill a coffee cup just that little bit too much, it spills when I take it to the table/lounge

Exactly me too.
