With 23 out of 1,000 semiglutide patients experiencing possible life-threatening pancreatitis, there’s no way in hell I’d take one of these.

Possibly 23 out of 100,000 would be an acceptable rate.

And plenty of other common adverse effects.

I’ve had adverse effects from other medicines that I stopped instantly. I’m only grateful that whatever this stuff is doing to my innards, it seems to be reversing problems I’ve had for decades in the exact opposite to what I read about happening to people taking shots instead of pills. But my internists seem really great at doing constant checking and testing, so I’m hoping they’d see a problem coming from far away. We always start new meds at the beginning of the week so the doctors are around to call for potential problems.

I can only be grateful that I’m NOT getting adverse effects. I’ve never won a lottery, but I think I did this time. I’m fairly paranoid and just lucked out.

Aw, c’mon, steve, you haven’t lived until your pancreas explodes.

There’s something very special about watching the paramedics work on you from somewhere near the ceiling...

That sounds like a poor ratio. I suppose if nothing works with some metabolic issue maybe a last ditch? I’ve seen bad side effects with 1:100,000 that scared me(observed, not self)
