@roch I am having problem tagging you using your @roch. MCC comes up with Roche and other examples but none @roch
Laurie @roch, The article was excellent. Thanks!!
I just read the article you posted. I can see I am not alone. There are many that don't respond to these drugs like me. I am going on my 4 month now on it and no reduction. Two weeks from now will go on highest dose of WEGOVY the 2.7. That is a bigh jump from original dose of .25, then .50, 1.0 and now on the 1.7.
I do exercise 6 days a week from 1-2 hours. I do not do much weight training exercise most is aerobic. Really trying hard to find ways on my own to get this weight off. I just found a snack I can eat to make me feel full. It is a type of corn chip that has 110 calories for 21 chips. Unlike other chips the chips are quite big and are type of popcorn. My wife makes a homemake salsa that is excellent and I use it as a salsa dip.
By accident it appeared to me if I ate something substantial prior to a planned meal my appetite was down as well as getting fuller. So I have added this low calorie snack prior to lunch and dinner.
I did lose 1 pound this week. I know not much at all but better than seeing the medical scale I have stay with no movement for over 3 months. I think I was leaning on WEGOVY to do it all and see I can't do that.
I am already on a thyroid medication but very very low. I take half of the lowest dose of the medication. My PCP says my thyroid test shows my brain is talking to my thyroid more than normal but the other tests he does do not show a thyroid problem with the very low dose of thyroid medicine I am on. I will have new tests done December 29th.
Thanks again for the web site information. I saw that WEGOVY was going to start a pill form of WEGOVY which will really help those like me that don't like injections.

Laurie,
First I am extremely lucky to have the PCP I do at Mayo Jacksonville.
Yes he is doing the thyroid test you mentioned. He does several types of them because he needs to see the wide range of thyroid test that are available not jus the one.
He did tell me that I could be one of those that needs the high does of WEGOVY to work. There is only one dose higher than I am on now. It seems to me that my taste for items like snacks did not go down at all but my dinner meals did.
I did have COVID that evoled into sinus infection (bad) and then bronchial (bad) that was pretty well down or 3 months. I have heard so much about COVID causing other problems but have no idea is could be culbrit. I took every singe shot and booster, washed my hands stayed away from anyone coughing or sneezing and still caught it. BUMMER!
Thanks for the web site information. I am going to click on it as soon as I write this reply.
