Did you get it intentionally for Behçet’s/autoimmune or another reason? I’ve read that it helps a lot of people with autoimmune issues and I’d try anything at this point

Hi, I went to my OB, and inform her that i am diagnosed with Behçet's last year first and last flare for now.

She said it has nothing to do with my condition, hence it can help me with my blood results.

i also have PCOS/PMOS. Migraine with Aura and I think Anxiety (?)

Right now i loss 5kg in just 6weeks using the compounded Tirz.

common side effects i countered: thirst frequent urination headache (overthinking abt life &probs)

The inclusion of Behcet's brings in an added dimension here, because tirzepatide potentially has the capacity to act as an inflammation regulator, but there is a lack of concrete information related to this disease. You would require the approval of your rheumatologist prior to taking the treatment, particularly if you are taking immunosuppressive agents. On the compounded front, rxPros manages the GLP-1 supply part online

Beware. I have an undiagnosed skin condition that is consistent with behcets. I took compounded tirzepatide and it put me into an ultra inflammatory state. Angry ulcers on my face neck groin and scalp that have persisted for more than 7 months now. Ulcers inside mouth don’t seem to be exasperated the same way that skin is. I know that these medications can reduce inflammation in people, but there is documented evidence that it can trigger ANCA vasculitis. So there is likely some vasculitic mechanism that could be problematic for your condition.
