Is there anyone else here on both T3 and Ozempic?

My name is Miriam, I am 42, overweight (obese) + hypothyroid. I must admit I was never slim, even when I was young and healthy. But my hypothyroidism definitely did not help. On the contrary, since hypo and during my years on levo I became obese. So I was sourcing NDT and T3 on my own at first until I finally got T3 prescribed on NHS. Dose that they gave me (10 mcg) wasn't enough so I still had to get more on my own. Later they increased my dose and I was feeling better but I lost only some insignificant weight. I did some research about metabolic disorders and decided to try Ozempic. I had to get it online because I didn't have prescription. I though after all drastic diets and other things I tried in my life I can try that as well. It turned out to be working for me. I lost quite a lot of weight and I look better now (although still not perfect) but I know it takes time and I am hopeful. At least I am not ashamed to look at myself in the mirror anymore :) Now I am thinking should I switch to Wegovy as some people say it's stronger or maybe some other brand by a different manufacturer. I will think about that.

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and ask are there other people here who take the same meds. Would really love to hear from you x
