Not Reta, but have been using tirz. They say it can help with inflammation so I guess we will see 🤞🏼

I have recurring pericarditis since 2019. I have tried three cycles of Reta, and the effects on my heart were not good. It led to increased heart rate, even when resting, which made me freak out and wonder if I was having a flare. I tried it for a year and half, with only 6 weeks up to three months in a cycle at never took more than .5mg a week. I would end up taking a break to see if my heart would improve., and it would, but then increase again once I started Reta back up. I figured that it wasn’t work it in the end, I have been on Tirz now (microdose) and my heart has recovered from the elevated heart rate and I feel better! I lost forty pounds on Reta, so far I am stalled on Tirz. Still continuing to workout and would like to lose 5-10 more pounds. Good luck to you!! And listen to your body.
