Dysautonomia

Its been a long time since Ive posted but Im thinking about starting a glp-1 medication if Il approved by doctors. I have been struggling with my weight and binge eating for the last few years. I now weight over 15 stone and Im only 5’5 so I am very overweight. My m.e/cfs, fibromyalgia and dysautonomia make my binge eating worse because when Im feeling so unwell binging seems to be my bodys first response.

Being so overweight is making me very depressed. I’m in therapy, Ive tried hypnotherapy, CBT, Slimming World, Weight Watchers and counting calories. Nothings worked or I will lose 5-7 pounds and then I will spiral again and gain it back. Im not starting to feel the effects of being overweight so I know I desperately need to do something about it. I constantly think about food and I mainly want to try glp-1 to see if it quiets down that horrible voice in the back of my head that shouts about food 24/7.

For me Ive been pretty anti glp-1 because I keep hearing all these horror stories even though I know the medication had worked for millions of people and every medication has side effects. Im just scared but Ive also reached a point where I cant go on like this.

So, any advice (good or bad) please share with me. If you’ve tried it or if you haven’t but something else worked for you, please let me know. Thank you in advance

Here it goes y’all. I have been feeling so defeated and down lately. My husband switched our insurance with his work from their hmo to a crazy hmn (I have never heard of this type) and no one is covered. I lost the ability to see my complex care internal medicine doctor who took care of *everything* for me.

So in an attempt to find resources to help all of my laundry list of illnesses, I started with a rheumatologist who supposedly helps my mixed connective tissue disease according to Dr. Google.

Spoiler, he did not and basically told me I need to find a functional medicine doctor who prescribes traditional medicines and takes my insurance, a neurologist, a endocrinologist and a new primary care doctor “to start”, his words not mine. Also I have to continue with the new heart doctor who also is referring me to a dysautonomia specialist because it is above his comfort level of treatment he said. He can try but he’d feel better sending me down town. I can no longer drive fyi.

All of this with my new crazy insurance who does not cover even a box of tissues for these stress tears that they’re causing. My husband promised he’d help try and coordinate all of these new crazy doctors I need but this was nearly two weeks ago and nothing has happened. I’ve been trying to dig and dig for a functional medicine doctor who treats whole body and not “gut health” only type things or box o’ vitamins. It’s just so gimmicky. #Depression #Fibromyalgia #Dysautonomia #AutoimmuneThyroidDisease #MentalHealth #LymeDisease #Anxiety #MixedConnectiveTissueDiseaseMCTD
