Tirz and Inflammation Levels
Hello all. Before I ask my question, I wanna give some background about myself.
I was diagnosed with PCOS at age 19 and am 27 now. My PCOS has always been quite mild. My periods were next to non-existent, no hirsutism, no extreme weight gain, no insulin resistance, no blood work abnormalities, etc. The "worst" of it was severe cystic acne that I was able to quickly get rid of with Spironolactone and birth control pills. Until recently, my PCOS was little more than just a mild inconvenience.
My most recent blood work shows I now have insulin resistance (bordering pre-diabetes) and high body inflammation. I've also gained roughly 25kg in the past 1.5-2 years. That might not seem crazy, but my diet and activity levels are no different than they were when I was "fine". For whatever reason, my PCOS has caused a deterioration in my health, and I'm really feeling unwell these days. Just a general malaise and exhaustion that won't go away.
After my current doctor has let this go on and on (a whole other ANNOYING story), I've finally decided I need to try a GLP-1. The GLP-1 I'm interested in is Mounjaro. My question is: have any of you experienced a decrease in inflammation while taking Mounjaro (or any GLP-1)? How has it made you feel overall?
I want to feel better. I feel so sick these days and seeing the scale creep up day by day is depressing and demoralizing. I've tried it all. Inositol, other supplements, diets, exercise, calorie counting, macro counting, mindfulness...EVERYTHING. Nothing works. I'm feeling sicker with each passing week. A GLP-1 is my only hope.
Thank you to anyone who reads this and has any advice to offer.
