nobody warned me about tirzepatide sulfur burps.

Had reflux for fifteen years. it got better on tirz, week one was hell. Then the weight came off and the thing I'd had for a decade and a half just... left. Two-sided coin, it wrecked my gut before it fixed it.

A1C 8.3, squarely diabetic. fifteen milligrams of tirz brought it down 2.5 points and under 7 for the first time in years. my endo used the word "remission." here's the part I don't say out loud: I know if I stop, it climbs back, dose-dependent, they've got the 2 and 4 and 6 month data so I'm not cured. I'm leasing normal blood sugar and the payment is forever, still worth it but call it what it is.

62, no heart problems my whole life. two days after my tirz shot my heart went to 150 sitting on the couch and wouldn't come down. blood pressure 90 over 60. I told the ER it was probably just anxiety. they shocked my heart back into rhythm with paddles. new-onset atrial fibrillation, no other cause they could find, and it never came back once I stopped. I keep thinking about how close I came to calling it stress and going back to bed.
