Fully vaxxed EXCEPT for covid. Calls the first (of many) times she caught as ‘when I almost died’. She’s currently injecting one of the fun crop of weight loss drugs without a second thought because there aren’t any TikTok influencers who are telling her it’s dangerous.
Ozempic hospitalized my ex for 12 days and he’s now in a class action lawsuit against the makers because it’s a known side effect that wasn’t warned against. It’s not something to play with at all.
Not at all. He’s diabetic; Ozempic basically caused his gastric muscles to stop working, which is called gastroparesis. He began vomiting and having diarrhea over a period of days, and became unable to take his diabetic meds because he couldn’t keep anything down. I came home and found him basically comatose, and he was in a state called euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis, which is a new thing with all the Ozempic type drugs, where your sugars aren’t all that high but the severity of your condition is masked by the Ozempic, and you end up overproducing ketones in your blood because your sugar is out of control. The ketosis part reversed quickly with IV insulin, but the gastroparesis and associated esophagitis from all the vomiting meant he had to stay in hospital for quite some time. He has permanent damage to his gastric system. The makers of the drug didn’t disclose this and it’s turned up in several others; my GP friend had two patients with the same situation. So they’re all in a lawsuit, and I’m super leery of these drugs.
That’s my granddaughter.

What’s the side effect if you don’t mind sharing?
