just on a low dose of metformin, but over the last year it'd been creeping up, and my appetite, weight, all that creeping up as well, like I cannot stand being so hungry that my stomach literally physically hurts and I get dizzy all the time when trying to watch what I eat.
I can't willpower my way through it, I can't pray my way through it.
So.. I finally got to the point where my A1C fell out of control and the VA said they'd cover Ozempic. So great I started that a month ago. at first great, okay instead of feeling ravenously hungry all the time I felt over full and was cutting out meals snacks, portion sizes at dinner, reducing or eliminating carbs, all the stuff I'm supposed to do through sheer willpower but couldn't do, I'd started losing weight, and thinks seemed on the up.
But the last time I injected, it hurt, and it formed a bump under my skin.. and I stopped feeling satiated, and the last day, I'm a 2 days before I'm supposed to do my next dose and increase dose size.. I'm absolutely famished, I ate all of dinner and was still famished, i ate a snack to feel full and like 3 hours later I'm struggling again with the gnawing pain and dizziness
I'm afraid my cursed immune system developed neutralizing antibodies and this isn't going to be an option anymore.
and then
I don't know what to do
I literally cannot willpower my way through the pain for indefinite periods of time. It wakes me up from sleep.
in fact I think it's worse than before I started Ozempic.
I guess the only thing I can do is do the next injection and see if I have a reaction again like the last time and pray I don't.
I can't willpower my way through it, I can't pray my way through it.
