Layoffs suck t, but glad it wasn’t you!
I feel like some laws should be like juries. Grab a few people from the street and be like “does this seem legit?” Big bonuses before firing everyone or making the government bail you out? No. Give it back.
I joined a clinical trial to test a new GLP1 agonist, and I’m feeling pretty sure I got the real thing rather than placebo—first dose was Friday and Saturday I had a migraine (never want to eat then), but yesterday I ate a regular breakfast (around 10) and around 7pm was like “yeah, I guess I should eat”. Today I couldn’t even finish my usual PB&J. Wow. I think if I could just cut random not-hungry snacking out (like the half bag of marshmallows I ate late at night last week) I’d be doing well. So fingers crossed it works and doesn’t have awful side effects!!!
Nice, meara! Evening is the worst for me. I get up so early that I tend to have dinner early, but I think I am better off eating around 7-8 PM so I am less likely to snack later. Rarely do I choose something super healthy to eat after 8 PM.
It must be weird to be part of a medical study when you know so much about them from the other side, meara Eta: kinda picturing that scene from Brain Candy "I have the sugar pills, don't I?" but in reverse
Yeah, I feel like a lot of my bad habits are just snacking due to cravings or boredom and not so much voracious hunger…but I never do that on migraine days (even after meds take it away) because food just doesn’t appeal. Many years ago I lost quite a bit of weight just from having migraines multiple times a week. This would be a much better method! And since it’s a clinical trial it’s free (if anyone is interested you can Google clinical trials in your area or look on clinicaltrials.gov for whatever you want (by drug name or by what they’re testing it for)
Oh it’s super weird!! Like they asked “have you ever had an EKG” and I said no, and they started to explain what it was to me—I was like yeah, I know that just haven’t had one myself!! But it does make me want to read the protocol, but I’m sure they wouldn’t let me. Also understood when they were like “sorry, can’t do a late appointment Friday because there’s blood draws” that some blood has to ship out that day, and wouldn’t ship Saturday, so they have to do it before the last pickup of the day…
I joined a clinical trial
Excellent!
clinicaltrials.gov
Yep. Lots of info to be found there.
I am enrolled in the CHAARTED2 clinical trial: [link]
Cool, Daniel! I had sent the link to my sister and she somehow ended up in a completely different study (I guess they were doing a few). I’m excited to be getting this stuff but also not making it harder for actual diabetics to get their meds (since this is investigational it’s a whole other supply)
Timelies all!
We went to a concert last night.(James Keelaghan, a Canadian songwriter we've seen a number of times) We enjoyed it.
Happy π Day!
Yay! I normally make quiche, but today I think I will just make pizza because I made sauce yesterday. That counts.
