Discussing my GERD issues with my wife, and how they might be lessened by licorice lozenges before a meal. About 3 months ago I started Ozempic due to my blood sugar being out of control with my use of Metformin. I was 5+ years on metformin and then it stopped working. So now I take the metformin with the once a week injection of Ozempic and the benefits are much better A1C numbers, but the negatives are more spasms in my esophagus and lots of burping. Doctors want more time with Ozempic before they change the plan.
I accept that my side effects are pretty easy to manage, and I have lost 16 pounds - not that I needed to, but whatever. I added weight training to my YMCA routine to prevent muscle mass loss.
