GLP1s are one of the greatest advances in medicine in my lifetime, if not all time. And there are still more benefits. They might be the first real treatment for people who struggle with alcohol! There’s never been a great treatment for that. Anyone criticizing these meds is just telling on themself

Science is amazing.
The glucagon part of the drug should in hypothetical terms help heal/repair some of the damage caused by AUD in the liver as well! Two for one!
No worries.
My therapist found me a *real* dietician, which ins…
Still paying out of pocket for dietician. GI doc has found some stuff and says I should have never been on GLP1 anyway.
I felt better on it, but can’t even do it now.
Also glad they can combat the plague but I’ve never had to suffer that personally thankfully
not
amoxicillin-clavulanic acid
instead
ketamine-tranexamic acid
Don't GLP1s cause gastroparesis? That's a serious side effect. And people have to take it the rest of their lives...that doesn't sound like a miracle drug to me.
There is no rhyme or reason to coverage.
But that goes for healthcare in general.
Me, I’ve lost 112 or so.
My spouse (who is diabetic) was taken off them due to severe gastroparesis.
There are real & debilitating side effects to consider, notwithstanding their benefits to others
We have way to many people believing in fantasy rather than reality.
Some elected officials believe woman can control their period & tampons are sex toys.
If it is a "REAL" rape the body can shut down the pregnancy.
Humans have had these stupid beliefs for a long time, but now they are harming more people b/c its rude to call elected people ignorant twats.
They have not been challenged enough for this insanity & now have people calling in bomb threats if you dare contradict their claims.
Rule 1 is Rule 1 because its depressingly true.
MAGAts may already canceled the next breakthrough in therapy.
It fixes ADHD.
What the fuck
WHUT?!
One day NSAIDs might just nope-out on you like they did to me tho.
Takes me waaaay back.

been following this stuff and lots like it in the crib (mine and theirs)
this is why we all do this — because it’s as close to magic as it gets — yet rooted in evidence and ground truth
It does make sense tho
“Looks like it improves ADHD symptoms in children” would be the better phrasing here.
You can be excited without totally misleading people. Even a little hyperbolic is fine—just don’t talk about “fixing” us, especially if you can’t even stand by the claim sober.
I was able to have brief access but then insurance pulled it without a full blown type 1 diagnosis. 🤬
My last insurance brought my Zepbound down to $25, but my new insurance has zero copay, so I pay nothing.
My gastro was able to prescribe Ozempic briefly under BCBS and used within range A1C but the excuse that it could be lower to get buy in on coverage. They terminated coverage within 8mos unless you were full diabetic. Idk who covers
My heart goes out to you, deeply. Stay strong, you got this!
But I’ll keep that in mind if I ever recover from this garbage job market. Maybe I can go get a job at one of those scammy weight loss places, lol. I live in Phoenix so there are plenty 😂
