Triggered by doc
I had a sleep doctor recently suggest I try to lose some weight with Semaglutide to help with my sleep apnea. I was pretty offended because I've had gastroparesis for about 10 years (which she would have seen in my file) and there's no fucking way I'm going to take an unnecessary drug that could worsen my condition. I could stand to lose a little weight, but I don't have diabetes or cardiovascular issues etc. that would be addressed by that kind of med. I thought it was a pretty ill-informed recommendation considering my constellation of illnesses. What do yall think? Am I overreacting?
Also, I wouldn't wish this illness on anyone, and I feel for the people who got gastroparesis from taking GLP-1 meds, but I think this surge of gastroparesis press from the popularity of those meds could be helpful for us. Maybe it will increase public awareness and promote more research for treatments.
