  • I feel that a lot of discussion is by people who have never taken ozempic or have and are successful with its treatment. For what it’s worth, I’d like to give some insight to my own experience with it and why I’m not on it.

    I won’t talk about all my medical issues, but to make it very broad - I have type 2 and a genetic disorder regarding my ability to metabolize. I was put on a trial of ozempic because of its apparent effectiveness.

    While on it, one of the first things I noticed that no one seems to talk about (so I don’t know if it’s just me or not): the feeling of being sated and hungry are two different feelings. It was weird being hungry and full all the time. A bit torturous, but something I felt was manageable.

    Unfortunately, even on the lowest dosage, the sated feeling was so strong I felt nauseous all the time. It eventually became a problem when I started becoming dehydrated because I couldn’t even keep a glass of water down.

    I was removed from the medication and I had persistent side-effects afterwards. It’s been years now and while the side effects have diminished, I still get random bouts of nausea for no apparent reason. It’s unrelated to when I eat or drink, but it’s something I’ve never experienced prior to being on ozempic.

    As weird as it sounds, there are some days I wish I could go back on ozempic. It is effective, but now doctors know I retained some side effects, they won’t let me try it ever again.

    And I guess that’s it. Nothing too horrible I guess, but even miracle drugs have side effects. Everyone is built differently, so there will always be outliers.






  • This is just my opinion, and there are always legitimate use cases for wired or wireless. Losing connection at the worst time is the main reason. I play online, so it’s a complete and absolute, non-negotiable dealbraker to me. Every other benefit wireless gives and every other negative wired gives is trumped by this singular requirement.

    I won’t go into every situation, but almost every minor issue in wireless results in disconnects. This ends up with me using wired anyways, which leads to the problem in my previous post: worn out USB ports. Wired by comparison has far less disconnects.

    On a side note: I also wanted to add (but didn’t feel it was worth editing at the time), razor is stupid expensive for just that one little feature. I’ve had this controller for years, and back then it was the only one I could find like it. To me, it has been worth - but if I was to buy another I’d definitely look for something similar that is cheaper with possibly more features. It wasn’t meant to be a razor promoting post.
