nothing. my father is a fascist and refuses to acknowledge how homophobic and violent about it he was towards me as a teenager. he can apologize for the way he treated me but supporting Trump twice is unforgivable.

give them everything they want.

doesn’t matter why, just leave.

i could no longer stomach reddit and am uncomfortable using mainstream internet.

this is contributing to the false narrative that ICE is legitimate. they aren’t. they should have never been established and must be abolished. not only that but their current iteration is acting on illegal orders by a fascist dictator president. even if what they’re saying is true it doesn’t justify their actions because they shouldn’t fucking be there in the first place.

oh good, some relief. thank you for any information.

tbh that is underselling how terrible the American healthcare system is lol. die from waiting? more like die from being denied medically necessary procedures by a Prior Authorization team who has never met the patient they make these decisions for and has the authority to reject the demands and recommendations of physicians treating the patient. more like die from avoiding going to the ER because you don’t want to deal with even more debt, so you stay at home and “sleep it off.”

…finish all of the medication. antibiotics are not prescribed beyond their need to be consumed. read the directions given to you and follow them.

“feeling better” is our physiological response to the medication working, not an indication of whatever you’re sick with being out of your system. you could feel better but have bacteria remaining in small amounts not making you experience symptoms but then they begin proliferating. eventually, you’ll feel sick again. take the entire regimen as recommended. it’s only “recommended” because they can’t make you do it, but really, you have to do it. that’s how it’s effective.

this needs to be the moment, everyone. this cannot be tolerated. it’s long been the moment, but for the love of everything: killing us in the streets can’t be ignored.

alright so the fascists are killing us now. i don’t know when “enough is enough” will actually matter to any American but it should goddamn be right the fuck now.

nothing is going to be done and Greenland will become a US territory.

okay, make these foods more accessible then.

…the hell are you talking about. i said it directly how more explicit could i have gotten? and no, your response is not relevant because again, i am not going off of these as we currently understand them. they are lifelong for me and should be for anyone taking them.

hello, what are you talking about lol this is a study for people who stop taking the medicine. i mentioned staying on for life.

oh this is very exciting for my personal interest. the Big Crunch is my pet scenario for the end of the universe. this evidence is extremely significant.

ah sure! more than happy and willing to help how i can.

cost

yeah this is the biggest barrier. i am thankfully on state medicaid which is covering the cost, but when i had personal insurance i ended up paying $500/mo. however, the pill form is coming and is already available compounded. it should make things more affordable.

side effects

varies from person to person obv but i don’t have many: skin sensitivity, mild cramping, nausea on occasion, constipation. might sound like a lot but these aren’t 24/7 or disruptive. they are also treatable and i have lowered their frequencies by keeping hydrated and increasing fiber, stuff like that. i will tell you it is 100x better than the symptoms i had being morbidly obese.

regaining weight once off

well good news, these are lifelong lol. this is a common concern but it stems from Hollywood abusing the intention of these drugs going towards treating a chronic condition. you don’t lose 40 lbs and get off. GLP-1s treat your brain which then controls the metabolic disease you likely have. medicine will need to control it lifelong, there’s no cure.

when i started Zepbound i weighed 363 lbs. i am now 209 and continuing to lose. It’s been a year and one month. i will stay on these class of drugs until told otherwise by trusted experts and professionals. the amount of physical and psychological improvements have been worth any cost needed for this medication. i feel tremendously human for the first time in my life. i wasn’t restored, i was rebuilt.

ah, well… alright. i have found mine rather life changing but if you’re not interested then i’ll leave it there.

GLP-1

she should fear for her safety the rest of her hopefully short life.
