Microdosing Zepbound has changed my life

Medications and pain management

Been dealing with Endo since I was 16 years old, and have seen every doctor, had every surgery and tried every diet. Nothing has had significant, positive effects on my life until now.

I write this in hope it could help someone else as I know the debilitating and agonizing reality of living with this disease.

For the past 4 weeks, I have been getting injections of 1ml (half of the starting dose of Zepbound). My Endo is heavily affected by stress, and I have a very stressful job that often causes massive flare ups. After a huge work weekend with lots of steps , stress, and long nights, I stopped to realize that for the past weekend, I didn't even think about the pain - no pain medications, no having to stop my work and sit down. It wasn't even a thought in my brain. That has been unheard of to me for the past 9 years.

Wondering if anyone has had similar results with doing this. My lab tech said that I was the first patient they have seen to try microdosing with Endo (she has patients that are PCOS, but I was the first with Endo she had seen), I know that Zepound (and I believe all GLP-1's) have anti-inflammatory properties, and that may be the cause for my relief. But I was on an anti-inflammatory diet for about a month, and nothing major changed for me.
