Bladerunner- Hopefully it wasn't too bad and you have recovered well. Here is an article published yesterday-> Woman sues drug makers of Ozempic and Mounjaro over severe gastrointestinal issues

Some interesting commentary in the article cited above not related to the lawsuit:

Separately from the new lawsuit, CNN has reported on warnings from patients and doctors of gastroparesis and other side effects after taking Wegovy and Ozempic for weight loss or diabetes.

Stomach paralysis, or the slowing of the stomach from emptying, may lead to nausea and vomiting in some patients. It can have many causes, including diabetes, which is a reason many people take drugs. Women are known to be at higher risk for the condition.

Doctors told CNN that more cases are coming to light as the popularity of the drugs has soared. In a statement before the lawsuit, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration told CNN it had "received reports of gastroparesis with semaglutide and liraglutide, some of which documented the adverse event as not recovered after discontinuation of the respective product at the time of the report."
