Loads of health issues

[Upsidedownpicture]

I have high BP, pre diabetic, fatty liver . I am four stone overweight. I eat very healthily and exercise . I swim three times a week and walk a couple of times a week.

I’ve got loads of stress going on which doesn’t help but I feel so utterly depressed about all this. I know I need to lose weight and will try for a couple of weeks and then lose my way. I’ve been tempted to use weight loss jabs but already have very thin hair and apparently these jabs are connected to sight issues. I can’t lose more hair and potential sight issues freak me out.

I know it’s down to me, but I feel so miserable about it all, particularly as I have thyroid issues also . I feel my health is just packing in and I don’t know what to do.

Hair loss is related to rapid weight loss and lack of nutrients rather than MJ it’self.

Eye sight issues aren’t listed as an offical side effects but Robbie Williams has decided his sight issues in his 50s is due to the merication rather than his age.

I am on WLI, and my blood pressure has gone down, my HBa1c levels are in the lower end of normal, my cholesterol levels have normalised. I’ve had no sight issues and no problem with hair loss. Edited to add - agree hair loss is about losing weight too quickly.

Apparently MJ does affect the hair follicles and there is a link to eye sight issues for some people when I googled.

You need to do your own risk assessment - There is no definitive direct link (to early to categorically state them as direct side effects check out the research papers ) the links you are reporting are mainly anecdotal and potentially could be linked to general age / rapid weight loss v the risks of being 4 stone overweight and being pre diabetic, have high blood pressure and a fatty liver.

There is detailed research which has identified specific health risks linked to these conditions including significantly increased risk of stroke and vascular disease. Ultimately it’s your decision but please make sure you do proper research based on reliable sources not just the headlines in Google and one or two celebrities voicing an opinion.

Yes it’s balancing out the risk of having these health conditions versus taking a risk of having these jabs. I feel immobilised by indecision and quite overwhelmed.

The thing is, you wouldn’t be 4 stone overweight if you were eating healthily and exercising enough.

I’m not a fan of WLI myself. As someone who has had to take medication with a lot of side effects or die, I’d always opt to not take meds if I could do without them. BUT the reality is that you have several health conditions that by themselves are likely to shorten your life, never mind that they are risk factors for other things like cancer that may kill you quite quickly. You don’t need nice thick hair when you’re dead. Similarly, you don’t need 20/20 vision. I’d always take the option that gives me a better quality longer life over everything else.

Yes true. I do eat healthily but am clearly eating too much.
