What do you tell your Doctor

[gantou]

I paid out of pocket for about a month through LillyDirect before switching to compounded and then grey. I still tell my doctor that I’m on compounded through a telehealth provider. She’s been pretty on me about it, saying compounded meds don’t have to follow FDA regulations. When I explain that I’ve weighed the risks and I’m comfortable with it, especially given the results and the cost, she says I’m risking my kidneys.

I kind of just brushed it off, mostly because I know she’d completely lose it if I told her I was reconstituting grey peptides. The whole conversation honestly made me start thinking about switching doctors.

So I've been overweight for 12+ years with high cholesterol and prediabetes. Not once did my Dr consider me taking any GLP. The last time I was in the office to see her she totally denied that possibility so I decided to do my research and started taking Reta. Long story short, I am in the process of finding a new Dr that is more open to new approaches. She put me on statins a few years ago and my calcium deposits around my heart increased by 3 times the amount. I'm done with her and will look at other options.

Supposedly the increased calcium is denser stable calcium, as it is correlated with less risk of heart attacks. Still, I think glp and weight loss fixes hyperlipidemia and dyslipidemia probably better.

Haha! Sometimes I wish I had no filter.
