the article also suggests a background of kidney problems:
(disclaimer: I'm not a doctor.) it seems to me like she had preexisting conditions on account of her weight.
That's fair but the two week time frame between initial dose and death seems a tad on the fast side for something like pancreatitis. Once again, not a doctor.
Yeah I was surprised she was at her second dose when her health suffered. Sorry for her family’s loss but it might be there was an underlying issue.
GLP-1's have to be super dangerous, right? All these fatty's have a moral failing, not a health issue, so the solution should also be a punishment! Making it relatively harmless and easily accessible wouldn't punish them enough!
I just don’t get it, if these drugs were magically burning fat like you were michael phelps in the olympics - i would be SUPER sceptical.
It's fun and satisfying to try a lot of things. I wish restaurants would start offering sampler platters. i like the sampler beers some bars offer.
It's one of those things that people don't get because they haven't experienced it. Everyone gets sad sometimes! Everyone loses things sometimes! Everyone has anxiety! Everyone is tired sometimes! Everyone runs late sometimes!
I don’t really understand peoples logic 🙃
Yes exactly. I didn't even really believe I wasn't somehow deficient in willpower until I started liraglutide and the constant hunger and background thoughts about food were just gone. It's easy to blame other people for not trying hard enough when you've never experienced it yourself.
That’s the problem. I was too fat to reach my boot straps. Lol
It looks like she had saw a doctor before she started the medication and would’ve had initial bloodwork. More than likely, her kidneys failed due to dehydration and sepsis from pancreatitis…… she could’ve had a cute onset pancreatitis from a gallstone from obesity . maybe she was losing weight before she got on the medication?
As someone who works with a lot of nurses (in the US, but I doubt the UK is much better) she was probably incredibly dehydrated. Overworked nurses don't stop to drink water so they don't have to stop to use the restroom, for some it is almost a point of pride. If she was doing the standard 12-13 hour shifts, going home, sleeping, back to work three days in a row, or more if she liked overtime? Kidney issues. To then get pancreatitis on top of that, which causes further dehydration? Perfect storm.
As a nurse and a nurse practitioner I agree it is called a nursing or nurse’s bladder. I can go 24 hours between bathroom breaks. But wouldn’t cause the pancreatitis…… a gallstone would be the most likely culprit in the obese. But pancreatitis usually causes a lot of nausea and vomiting and if already borderline dehydrated would be very hard on kidneys. When septic blood clots form and damage the kidneys too. If she still had her gallbladder gallstones would be common……. Female, fat , fertile and 40’s is what we remembered as common patients with gallbladder dysfunction.
That's what I meant- if her kidneys were already an issue due to dehydration, and then she got the pancreatitis on top of that, it was more likely to be a big issue. Not that not using the restroom would cause pancreatitis. 🙂
Yes I know what you mean …. I agree. Many folks are chronically dehydrated ….l hate gallstones. I pass one every couple years …….. not fun. Better than a kidney stone lol……..
This.
that seems like a pleasant way to die
