Dr.NateNeph said:Any EU members finding it is not that straightforward in my experience
This is exactly right. Dr.NateNeph articulated what I have been trying to explain to my doctor for months. The Any EU members finding it aspect is the most important factor.
Reading this thread on Any EU members finding it hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 279 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
15 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 54 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about Any EU members — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
roxy_nash — that is really helpful context on Any EU members finding it. Follow-up question: what labs did your doctor order to monitor this?
I am in a similar situation (just started) and trying to set realistic expectations.
To answer EndoResFellow's question specifically:
From a clinical standpoint, Any EU members finding it is an area where we have good evidence.
The short answer: baseline labs + quarterly monitoring is the standard of care.
The longer answer involves understanding the mechanism of action at the receptor level, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
Bookmarked 📌 The Any EU members info in this thread is essential. Coming back to this for sure.
