I am a female 38 years old / 4 pregnancies/ 161.5 pounds/ 5’7. After a year of many doctors visits I have discovered I have insulin resistance PCOS and genetically high cholesterol. I run 3 miles a day at an incline and lift weight 30-40 mins 5-6 times a week and eat 1500-1800 calories a day. I’m strong, but constantly in pain from PCOS. My endocrinologist said I wasn’t heavy enough to be approved for a glp even with 2 comobidities, but told me to use an online pharmacy. I spent countless hours researching and stressing over what to do. I’m also clinciallly diagnosed ADHD and on medication. I was so scared to start the injections due to fear of side effects. I wasn’t looking to lose weight even though I could lose 20-30 pounds, it just wasn’t a priority like getting my health under control is. I decided I wouldn’t do the regular initial dose that I was given of 2.5mg - and decided to start at .25mg tirzepatide. The first day after I was tired for half the day then suddenly like a bolt of lightning I felt different.. just like the bloat in my abdomen was being pushed out.. my adhd medication (which hasn’t been working due to constant brain fog and bloat due to Pcos) suddenly like turned on. I slept like a baby that night.. and today I’m literally superwoman!! And on Mother’s Day nonetheless!!! I checked my weight and somehow I’m 158?? My weight hasn’t budged in months from 163/161. I have no idea what is happening, but I’m thinking this next cycle I might be seeing my pcos symptoms go bye bye and I could cry a bucket of tears. Okay I know I’m only 48 hours in, and it might not last, but the relief I feel today has me feeling so renewed. I hope this doesn’t stop, and I’m happy I made the plunge into micro dosing!!
