I'm a woman who is 43, and I'm coping with a number of health issues. For the majority of my life, my weight has been too high. Six months back, I began tirzepatide. So far I've dropped 40lbs, and since I still have 60lbs to go, I introduced reta 2 weeks ago. Everything about this is unfamiliar to me.
 
Welcome, and best of luck on your journey. I've been on Reta for just 2 weeks, and the results have been amazing. That said, I still have a lot of weight to lose, so perhaps that's why it's coming off so easily right now. I'm eager to hear how your progress goes 🙂

Is reta the only thing you're taking? During my first week on it I noticed an improvement, but then last week my skyrizi shot landed on the same day as both the reta and tirzepatide. That combo hit me hard — I spent the entire week feeling drained and weak. As for the weight, nothing came off until I moved up to 7.5mg of tirzepatide. Side effects were pretty minimal for me too.

Correct, just Reta. Once I obtain some KPV, I plan to use it for my psoriasis too.
 
Psoriasis and PSA are issues I deal with too. About 6 years back it appeared, seemingly out of nowhere. Stress was what they said caused it, and creams were about all they gave me back then. Just last month I finally began skyrizi. My plaques are starting to clear, though the pain remains. I had no idea a peptide could assist with this. I'll look into that.
