The Ozempic Journey begins …

Rather an up and down few weeks which I put down to moving house and settling in. My Internal Medicine specialist had various tests done and recommended an iron infusion. With some trepidation i agreed and - my goodness - what an improvement. Energy levels up, and “brain fog” cleared and a greater interest in things around me.

Weight loss stopped for a couple of weeks, and I put a couple of kilos on … which surprised me. However I’ve lost three kilos over the last week, which is fine.

One concerning thing has been strength loss in my legs. I’ve been referred to my favourite physiotherapist and he will build the muscles back up gradually. It’s all down to reduced calorific intake and subsequent loss of energy. So all should be well.

I never assumed the journey would be uneventful.
 
A couple of weeks with slight weight gain and then this week three kilos lost. Doctor still happy.

I don’t know whether this was caused by my diabetes or the Ozempic but I had a fairly lacklustre week or two, with little energy or enthusiasm. A blood test showed iron deficiency and so a couple of days later I had an iron infusion at the local hospital. Wow. Within ten days I was bouncing with all my old joie de vivre. Highly recommended.
