Those do sound like great gains, LOL @ finding your dick! Sorry to hear you got other shit hitting the fan but at least it sounds like your health is getting in check quickly. One thing at a time ...

Different...level...

I saw this the other day. Though I wouldn't want it, thought it was cool on a different kind of level.

There are so many benefits to estrogen thereapy provided it is started soon after decline, the biggest risk seems for woman who have family history of some types of cancer.

I am guessing at this point our doctor will order up a fuckload of tests. The perimenopause is very likely to have fucked up estrogen anyway. A1C is 4.6 so this has not been a long term problem.

She should have her estrogen levels checked as low estrogen can lead to prediabetes presentation with menopausal women, since the science around estrogen therapy has been revalidated against the old early 2000 studues that led doctors to turn away from treatment.

That's a complex answer. She's been having some fatigue issues for some time, and a few things that could be related but not enough to cause us to look at this specifically. Don't know if that makes sense. Symptoms that track, but weren't totally indicative of this. Edit to add: With perimenopause hitting, there was another explanation so it was taken as that.

Has she been having any symptoms related to blood sugar?

Well, fuck. It all started with a general yearly lab test, post-meal, that came up with a blood sugar of 42. This is generally incompatible with life. And it was a somewhat high glycemic index meal too. So how the fuck? So I told her to test using one of my meters, and it was high for fasting, 105-ish. After a meal she got 153 and 136 at 30 and 90 minutes. Fuck. Normal is 70-100 fasting and under 140 after food. Doing A1C later today.

"For the price of just one coffee a day..." I'll schedule it on Monday.

It's unfortunate that some doctors do that. The studies showed that many can stay at 2.5. We have a forum member whose wife has been on that for around 3-4 years now I think. Some of the people I've helped have been doing super well at 4mg.

That's hilarious on many levels. A few months ago I posted about a retard in an emotional support truck, and I think it was you who asked about video, because you assumed I was in the Rivian, but I was riding. The Rivian has pushbutton suspension drop. It's SLAMMED on the lowest setting, like a Puerto Rican would drive. You clearly like EVs more than motorcycles. Sad. So I did this yesterday. First, there was no way I was getting the last inch compressed. It was a motherfucker to pull down. But I can see a mark where I have hit the full stroke, must have been during the braking part of the advanced rider class a few months ago. And I had to cut the strap, as there was no way to unlock it afterward. Bottom line is there is no way to make the dashcam great, it will have a marginal limited view at best, after printing two more mounts with more mods.

I literally compare ever expense to how much I spend on Sushi. I probably spend $1000 a month on really high grade sashimi. My wife want's to go visit her family but the flight is $XXX.XX, no way she's going. Well, if I only skip Sushi X times this month she can go. Sad, I know. But it's me.

I was advised to get on with the 5mg after first month, so let see what happens from now on. I just took the second dose of the higher dose this morning.

Yeah, duh. I mean, I needed to hear it, thanks, but duh I should have seen it that way.

Last night I helped yet another person start on Tirzepatide. I was asked what motivates me, why I spend hours and hours helping people with this. The answer is stories like yours. A friend's wife has been able to put off invasive knee surgery since starting on it. Things like that make me so happy. This weekend I'm presenting on how to use another peptide to stop perimenopause, and the woman I've worked with report life-changing results, starting right here at home. Are you still on the 2.5 starter dose? Stay on it as long as possible. My side effects escalated astronomically with higher doses. Dave is the only person I've heard of, ever, out of hundreds I've talked to, who didn't have that.

Headed there tomorrow. This is hilarious. I guess I have the reputation for trying things. ScreenRecording_04-23-2025 18-20-18_1.mov And this is the topic of my presentation. The agenda was just released and many of the women want answers today, not tomorrow. I get it.

I was diagnosed with type-2 diabetes already few years ago and I've been on Metformin since day one. Now they added another med for me, which has caused some pretty fucked up side effects, which made me re-think my priorities. Before I started this journey, I was 121kg (266lbs). No idea what's my waist size, as I never measured it, but big enough that I can't see my dick when going to wee. Pains all over the body, especially in my back and legs. After standing five minutes, I couldn't feel my right leg. I was thirsty all the time and didn't matter how much I drink (usually beer), it didn't help the feeling. Also my blood pressure was still relatively high, even I'm on meds. Cholesterol is high, even with the medication. Already now, 6 weeks after starting the new journey, my weight is down more than 10lbs. I got my weight and blood pressure checked last week and I get check-ups every month, when I get new pen of Mounjaro. I haven't had severe back pains in couple weeks now and I strongly believe that the back pains will go away completely in few more weeks/months. I wake up much easier in the morning, and don't feel shitty as I don't drink beer anymore every night. I sleep like a baby 99.9% of the nights. Weight loss will help me also to rediscover my dick 🤣 I've always known it's there, just haven't seen it in a while. Or at least my wife is telling me it's there, hidden underneath all the fat 😉 Target is to get rid of most of my medications after 6 months or so, but let see. Gout might be one that's reversed with this, I've been told. Just as well as type-2 diabetes and cholesterol. All in all, I'm already now so much happier and feeling better than before, even though I have shit load of other bad things going on right now. But that's another story, for another time.

I know the feeling. The champion feeling is a combo of a lot of things. Putting on a pair of jeans size 34 and not 44. Waking up without aches Not relying on Tylenol to get through the day Having a regular blood pressure Clear head Looking in the mirror and being happy and the list can go on forever......

Right on man. What would you say are the areas you feel have improved significantly in your day to day? What's giving you the champion feeling? What were the diabetic symptoms you had before this treatment that have improved with this treatment?

I'm on my second month of trizepatide (Monjauro) and feel like a fucking champion already. I started losing weight before getting on, but it was painfully slow. After first month, I lost 4.5kg (10lbs) and target is to get at least 25kg (55lbs) off by the end of this year. One thing pisses me off though....coffee tastes like shit. I've read that some people have change in their tastebuds and it seems that I'm one of them. On the other hand, no more craving for sweets nor beer 😀

Funny how the human brain works. From the OP I "assumed" Rivian.

I did.

For your own interest, you should listen to the source itself instead of thinking you understand the full scope of what RFK's intent is concerning health from MSM. One thing he is trying to do is make ALL health information available to the public. You can't disagree that? He also isn't trying to block any care someone wants, just to make sure once again that people have all the info. Give him some time to see what happens.

Of course. You watch anything trump religiously.
