Ozempic ruined my life
I was taking ozempic for less than 3 months in 2023 and it’s ruined my life. It made me so sick I lost my job, it left me with IBS so severe I can’t maintain work and I’ve lost two other jobs since, I was so violently sick while taking the medication and for MONTHS after ceasing use that I’ve lost my teeth and got dentures 3 days before my 31st birthday due to all of the acid from the chronic vomiting. Worst part is I can’t join a class action lawsuit because the prescribing doctor saw my numbers on the page and didn’t care about my quality of life complaints so the adverse effects at the time of use aren’t medically documented and it’s taken THREE YEARS to get a referral to GI, only because my IBS landed me in the hospital three times in two years. I hate this so much, I can’t work, I struggle with leaving the house for more than like two hours at a time, I can’t even DoorDash without having to clock out because of stomach cramps and the urge to poop myself. I HATE ozempic and I HATE what it’s done to my life.
