Hi Tom,

As others, I’m sorry that you are navigating medical challenges without many answers that help your situation. It’s so hard when our bodies change beyond our control. As I was reading your situation, one thing that came to mind was a GLP-1 medication to help with weight loss specifically Zepbound. In my research, I’ve heard other people say it helps and/or cures many other health conditions. I know money is tight but I believe there are coupons from the manufacturer (Lilly) which allows people to get the medication for as low as $25/month. Just a thought. Also, the doctors that find your suggestions laughable…that’s unacceptable. I would not waste time with them. The Mayo Clinic I have found to be amazing. They offer video visits as well. I am going to personally pray for you as well as add you to our church prayer list. I wish you and your wife all the best in this journey. Keep the faith!!!
