I just took my 18th once-a-week Ozempic shot (0.5 mg) and had a reaction.
Last week I felt pain at the injection site but I did not this week.
Last week and today I felt a muscular pain in my neck but that has basically gone away. I did have early morning nausia for a couple of weeks but that seems to have disappeared. I hope!
aPRIL 2023
I was diagnosed type 2 Diabetic Saturday 7 March 2023. I have been on
different pills since Tuesday 10 March 2023 but never on the needle^!
``
I have had various MDs and three
different Nurse Practitioners. I test my blood sugar upon getting out of bed
and 2 hours after "forks down" after my evening meals. My
heart surgeon is concerned about my blood pressure.
I use the Greek letter Σ (summation) to show how
many times I have injected Ozempic.

^ “All good things must
come to an end” and so I went “on the needle” (Ozempic) on Friday 24 February
2023. On Tuesday 23 May 2023, it seems like I have been on Ozempic forever.
Giving myself an injection each Friday afternoon no longer is a big deal. It
simply is a part of my life…
Σ or “Summation” is the number
of times I have injected Ozempic.
V is for vomiting and
pain in my ribcage on the lower right. I ate too much of an oily steak for
dinner and had a gall bladder attack.
Y means I actually took
the shot…
• My morning was confusing and I forgot to test my blood. Shit
happens as they say.
AR or about 3:30 am or
so, bells rang and a loud voice saying something like "Attention Medical
Response Team, go to Baja Deck room B606. This is on deck 11. I repeat:
Attention Medical Response Team, go to Baja B606."
I was in bed asleep,
with my hearing aids out and yet I heard this alert clearly. Kathie was right
when she said it was loud in our room.
yeah! Such are the benefits of eating very lightly, regular and
sometimes strenuous exercise!

after eating raw carrots for lunch I was “feeling puny” and checked my blood
sugar. I was clearly dropping…

++ I put my BP meter by my bed and used it before getting out
of bed.
= I was at work and had a thick slice of baloney and later
some crackers; didn’t have much of an appetite.
