It was like a complete nuking of my endocrine system. In six weeks, I lost 20 pounds. I developed loose skin. My face started to change. I developed lipoatrophy on my face. My voice became higher pitched. My cognitive impairment continued to get worse. I developed joint issues. It was difficult to walk. I'd go to the gym and try to work out. My body would be shaking.

My muscles became squishy, like they lost density in some sense. My beard started to fall out.

The issue is that I just think they do everything in their power to market this medication to get as many people to take it because it's about profit. At the end of the day, it is about profit for not just HIMSS, but all these other telehealth companies as well.
