“They had a responsibility to disclose what they knew, and they didn’t.” — Hmmm, COVID vaccines, anyone?

I thought this was a known potential risk—not likely, but possible.

Taking a drug that is based on lizard venom (Gila Monster) peptides can have side effects.

I am on Ozempic, (diabetes and heart condition, also long term very high blood pressure, cholesterol (both genetic) weight issues (my fault) etc).

Side effects are a real problem, I have to monitor my digestion carefully:

1. Constipation is a big issue, I have worked out (no pun) where I take some Metamucil every night. If I don’t have a movement for a few days, I’ll take laxatives. “Overflow diarrhea” is a miserable side effect.

2. Stomach paralyses is indicated by “sulfur burps” where the food is digesting in the stomach if it doesn’t leave for 12-24 hours. Stop eating until it empties. Sometimes I’ll skip the next dose for a day or two to let my system catch up.

On the plus side, I’ve lost 30 pounds, (still a little overweight) my A1C had gone from 10 plus to 6.1, and all my other numbers are exactly where they should be.

But you need to be aware of the side effects and look out for them and deal with them. A couple of times I thought I would give it up because of the side effects, but I’ve figured out how to manage them, and the overall result has been very good. I honestly don’t thing the doctors really understand those, I had to figure it out myself. And getting the diabetes under control has been worth it.

It’s not all dancing with roses.

If it’s too good to be true, then it isn’t.

The only way to lose weight safely is to eat less and exercise more.

If you’re fat, it’s because you eat too much or you sit too much.

Self control is free.

Per Google AI:

“As of March 2026, Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly are facing over 3,300 lawsuits consolidated in federal court (Multidistrict Litigation - MDL 3094) in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The lawsuits allege that GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs, including Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, Mounjaro, and Trulicity, cause severe gastrointestinal and other health complications that were not adequately warned about.”

This lawsuit will go nowhere. Death is a stated side effect of Ozempic.

sorry, if the woman was foolish enough to take the crap drug, you get what you chose.

diet pills of decades ago had side effects, evidently nothing has changed with humans,people dont care to read the list of effects before signing over their bodies and bowing to the god of current weight loss gimmicks.

Here is the lawsuit:

said the couple believed she had food poisoning after Ettinghoff experienced nausea and vomiting and said doctors prescribed her antibiotics and anti-nausea medications.

If she disclosed she was on the medication and they didn’t follow up with a workup for gastroparisis there is going to be one sued hospital.

So many negative cases are being revealed due to this drug. I’m shocked that RFK is a proponent of its use.

Ozempic is poison. I was on it for three weeks and I was sick every damn day and couldn’t keep food down, Diarrhea and splitting headaches made it impossible to keep on taking it. GLP-1 is the same GD thing.

You can normally lose weight by doing one thing: not eating as many calories as you can burn in one day. But taking a pill seems to be so much easier.
