So I suck at cutting and hate not eating food, so I decided to give Retatrutide a go. It's a GLP-1 agonist with far better trial results than the better-known Ozempic/Semaglutide. This stuff is amazing at suppressing appetite. The first 1mg injection gave me slight nausea, but I think that was just

How can that be adequate for statins with a super short half life like simvastatin (t1/2 2h)? Wouldnt the drug be almost completely out of your system after 10 hours or so? And
In the past 2 1/2 years I’ve been hospitalized in the ICU twice. First time I was treated with insulin to bring down the triglycerides. The second time insulin stopped working and I had to do two rounds of plasmapheresis. I’ve been taking the highest doses or Fenofibrate, Fluvastatin and now Vasce
