HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE OZEMPIC SINCE IT CAME INTO EXISTENCE. THERE ARE 86 MILLION NERVE CELLS ARRANGED IN FRACTAL BRANCHING NETWORKS THROUGHOUT MY BODY. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENCODED INTO ALL 6 BILLION BASE PAIRS OF ALL 23 CHROMOSOME PAIRS OF ALL 86 MILLION SETS OF DNA IN THAT NETWORK OF IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDES AT EVERY COGNITIVE MICRO-INSTANT. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATE
Insane how 95% of the side effects people are complaining about for the drug that suppresses your appetite are literally just symptoms of starvation, like hairloss muscle loss bone loss - that's starvation babe, the constantly feeling cold, the malaise too - that's starvation, like I feel like people who are on this medication should also be on IV nutrient therapy, that should be part of the prescription, this medication should only be taken in tandem with IV nutrient therapy. If it is that fucking hard to eat while you're on it, you should be getting nutrients intravenously.
just watched wicked finally and I really think these films (the emaciated state ariana grande, cynthia erivo, and michelle yeoh are in) are going to be referenced in the future for showing how unhealthy this ozempic craze moment we're living in is
I hate the ozempic ads/banners so much. The stuff has basically been a miracle for several diabetics in my life and instead they are using it to try and convince us ppl like Serena Williams is fat and needs to lose weight.
Susan McGowan from North Lanarkshire died two weeks after taking the drug tirzepatide, brand name Mounjaro.
The death of a nurse from North Lanarkshire has been linked to the use of a weight-loss drug recently approved for use on the NHS.
Susan McGowan, 58, took two low-dose injections of tirzepatide, known under the brand name Mounjaro, over the course of about two weeks before her death on 4 September.
Her death certificate, seen by the BBC, lists multiple organ failure, septic shock and pancreatitis as the immediate cause of death – but "the use of prescribed tirzepatide" is also recorded as a contributing factor.
There have been 23 suspected deaths linked to semaglutide in the UK via the yellow card scheme since 2019.
BBC News asked the department of health and social care if it would review its decision given Ms McGowan’s death.
The UK government declined to comment.
My heart breaks for Susan McGowan and her family. No one should die in the pursuit of thinness. Time and time again I am reminded that the world would rather have a dead body over a fat one. 💔
I keep thinking about how easy it was to get a prescription for a glp1. Like maybe too easy like I feel like they should have screened me more. Obviously I’m glad they didn’t because I wanted the prescription, but it felt a little bit irresponsibly easy. I’m not in the United States, so I just booked a free appointment with my GP nurse practitioner that I got placed with through the free trans care in my province, and I went and talked to her for like, fifteen minutes tops? I was basically like I’m fat as you can see and would like to be less fat, diabetes runs in my family and I wanna have more top surgery options. And she asked a few questions and was like yeah ok what’s ur pharmacy I’ll fax it over.
I had already gotten blood work done recently so I didn’t even have to wait for that, and I literally had it in my hands two hours later. Two hours. This is the smoothest an interaction with the medical system has ever gone for me, and big surprise, it’s on the one that makes me less fat. Again, maybe I’m just comparing it in my mind to the rigours of obtaining HRT, which since testosterone is a controlled substance definitely are much stricter, but even in times when I’ve been trying to get antibiotics for like infections and whatnot, I keep getting put through the ringer until I’m like bro PLEASE I can’t drink water my throat hurts so bad, and then they’re like ok fineeeee
Maybe my real feeling is just that this is maybe my first brush with the medical system working properly and quickly, and I’m just cynical about the fact that its on the most inconsequential thing, and on the thing that upholds societal fatphobia. I wish every medication was as easy to get as ozempic forever
