u/Hammertime-65

My 84 year old mother has had eye problems for years, I think from high blood sugar. She gets injections for glaucoma. Has had flaps cut in her eyeballs. Takes expensive eye drops. But she tried ozempic a few years ago and experienced loss of sight in an eye and a corneal issue. In her mind, ozempic gets the blame because there were reports of that being a side effect. I think it is correlation, not causation.

Has there been any studies or reports of tirzepatide helping eyesight? She is terrified of trying it (to lose weight and lower blood sugar) because she doesn't want to lose sight in her "good" eye.

I'm 61, 6'3, 319 pounds (down from 376 1/5/26). I started Tirz at the end of Feb. Now I've been testing since March/early April AOD, Klow, Mots-c, NMN, Survo and recently added Cartalax. I've had 6 surgeries in 4 years (shoulder, foot, bicep, knee, and calf for melanoma in situ). Still struggling with the TKR from last year.

Now, the question. Should I look into hormone replacement therapy or whatever peptides help get back some youthful vitality? I don't even know where to start looking at what the options are. I would like to get some muscle tone back and keep losing the massive amount of fat I have on me. Thanks.

As is usual with peps, there are a variety of protocols out there for cartalax. I started one that begins with 2mg daily and titrates up to 5mg for 12 weeks. Then I run across another that says only a 20 day cycle 3x yr at 2-5mg daily. If you are testing, what protocol are you following?

I've had one knee replacement and that hasn't been pleasant. I would like to avoid that on my other bad knee. I'm currently testing ghetto reta, mots-c, klow, aod.

I would like to know how to buy for my mother. She is not tech savvy, so I would need to run the plan. I already have my own plan. We don't live in the same area, if that matters. Does she need her own plan or is there something I could add to my own? Just researching now. She will be getting a Samsung A17 for Mother's Day.
