TL;DR: Was approved for Mounjaro, to help with my blood sugar.
Two years ago, during my thyroid surgery, I was taken off metformin, due to how it was interacting with my IBS, when they were having issues stabilizing my calcium, magnesium and potassium.
After that, my doctor tried to put a few different things, and insurance rejected some of the options, so I ended up on Farxiga for a while, but my A1C hadn’t stabilized where we wanted it. So we tried to get on the Mounjaro again, and this time it came through.
I mentioned it to my endrochronologist, during a conversation where I was asking about if the levothyroxine was responsible for the random hunger issues I’ve been noticing. The hunger is probably related, but it’s a side effect that can’t be mitigated through dosage without risking other problems. However, the Mounjaro, might help with that hunger. One of the issues that can come up, is a higher chance of thyroid cancer, something I’m pretty much immune to, without a thyroid.
So, now I give the Mounjaro time to take effect, and either watch my A1C, or possibly get another glucose monitor to see where I’m at.
Unrelated, my heels have issues with cracking, so I haven’t been walking much lately. Hopefully they’ll heal up soon, so I can get out walking more. Though the weather has been pretty chilly lately.
