Hello everyone!
My doctor encouraged me to begin reta, and that was about 9 weeks back. I deal with a whole collection of fun problems: insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, bad lipids, and so on. Reta has worked incredibly well, and I've been absorbing every bit of information available here on this forum as well as on others.
My starting dose was 2mg, and I've gradually titrated upward to 4mg at this point; 38 lbs are gone and there's still a lot more to lose. To confirm I'm not losing muscle (I used to be a powerlifter), I track weekly body comp measurements in a spreadsheet. Getting in enough food to hit my macros seems to be a real struggle for me, but liquid protein has saved the day. The absolute highlight has been my sex drive coming back to life, after it had withered down to nil. My husband is quite pleased about that bonus!
Glad to be part of this! I'm genuinely looking forward to the next round of blood work so I can see what the hard data shows.
