Has anyone found weight loss injections seem to reduce inflammation?

So unfortunately I never had my inflammatory markers measured before I started on mounjaro earlier this year. I went to my gp about some symptoms and she thought I might have rheumatoid arthritis so ordered bloods. I had told her my aches and pains were much less since using the jabs.
Anyway my results are in, the normal range for inflammation is <6.9 and mine is 0.5
So has anyone had bloods done before and after and seen a drop or noticed anecdotally that their body feels less inflamed?

Wait just checked, current results 0.7 and 11 months ago were 8.53!

Anecdotally, yes. My psoriasis improved dramatically.

Me too - pretty well cleared up now and I now fell able to wear sleeves that don't end at my writist

My hip and knee pain have reduced considerably, but I have developed painful cramps in my toes and shins at night. I can't be sure they are related to the mj, but I never had them before. I keep them at bay by drinking lots of water and taking daily magnesium.

That is impressive, wish I knew my before levels.

I still can't believe the difference in my body, my legs/hips/buttocks were so enormously deformed from the lipoedema. They're still significantly larger than should be and obviously so but no longer weigh a ton, heavy painful bottom half that was making walking impossible.

18 months ago I was testing out mobility scooters, now (7 stone later, 4.5 on mj) I can walk for an hour with the dogs and feel fine.

My IBS stopped completely, almost from the first week of taking it and it’s made a huge improvement to my quality of life. It’s wonderful being able to go out for the day without having to worry where the next toilet is. I’ve also noticed the puffiness in my hands, wrists, ankles and feet has disappeared. My bmi is now well within a healthy range, but I hope to stay on maintenance for as long as I can for those reasons.

I’m starting MJ tomorrow and have IBD (crohns). Will be interested to see if my gut inflammation improves with this!
