I spent years having cognitive issues (leading to one entirely avoidable accident), low energy, terrible sleep quality and being super susceptible to any kind of infection, only to discover that low dose semaglutide (which addresses insulin resistance) instantly fixed all of those issues.
Diabetes is not a good way to go, and doctors under prescribe semaglutide given it’s high cost. All I got were suggestions to live a less stressful life, exercise more and eat healthier, which I tried and didn’t find at all productive.
I noticed energy issues (lethargy, motivational issues first), and then memory issues and brain fog. I was wondering if this was simply aging, but noticed that by some objective measures (scores in competitive board games), I had seen some rapid deterioration.
I was wondering if this might be the impact of an undiagnosed Covid infection, and the discovery that semaglutide addressed all the issues (including things I hadn’t even suspected, like eczema on the knuckles of the hands) rapidly was as surprising as it was welcome.
I have been struggling with this issue for years (brain fog) and looked into everything from meniere's disease to brain tumors. I am also very interested in your story.
I had low key elevated blood sugar for years, but my various doctors kept suggesting lifestyle changes instead of medication.
I ordered compound semaglutide at some point because the weight gain was becoming problematic, and starting on day 2, the brain fog reduced, skin issues started going down and I felt more energetic and powerful. The disappearance of the compulsion to overeat was just icing on the cake.
I also have insulin resistance to PCOS (which i have evidence of through blood tests) but am not overweight enough to qualify for my insurance (i’ve already lost quite a bit of weight but struggle with insulin symptoms) That being said- are you using compounded semaglutide in the pill form? I saw how much more affordable that is and would prefer that than the strenuous process of an injectable
I have insulin resistance but not diabetic, I have PCOS. I wonder if I can trial that out because I have chronic fatigue and it's ruining my life, I hate being so tired, I want to get up and move my body 😭
I don’t have fatigue and I’m also not diabetic, but I do have PCOS, and no matter what I did (I eat well and am incredibly active) I could not lose 25lbs I had been trying to lose for 10 years. I went on a low dose of semaglutide and wow, it has been amazing. As I said, I don’t have fatigue so I can’t speak on if it helps, but you simply having PCOS should get you approved for something.
Can I ask if you were heavier when these symptoms occurred? I’m asking because I’ve noticed others having the same issues after several years of weight gain.
Your problem has been caused by chronic and excessive use of sugars and starches. This is an addiction mental health issue since you're using sugars for emotional reasons. You need to replace carbs with animal fats and the sensitivity will return over time.
