@dsisko that’s such great news for your lungs. I have bronchiectasis and have wondered if GLP’s would help it or not . I’ve not seen any evidence based research regarding this matter.

I hadn't seen any research on it either but, given the evidence that it reduces inflammation, it seems natural to me that the inflammation caused by my lung disease has been reduced by taking the glp-1. I did write to a sarcoidosis research group with my results but did not hear back from them. People who have known me for a long time remark on how my breathing issues have disappeared. It’s quite amazing after 30 years of struggle. I attribute the improvement primarily to the drug rather than the weight loss as I have gained and lost significant weight a few times since I was initially diagnosed. The difference is the drug. Even had I not lost a pound, I would be praising the use of zepbound if for only this reason. It has literally changed my life.
