I have been monitored for fatty liver disease since a portal vein clot was discovered during a kidney stone episode 3 years ago. I see a liver specialist and a haematologist every 6 months and have US's to check on the clot.
As part of the liver monitoring, I was offered to go on a clinical trial of a "diabetes" drug at the hospita to see if it could help my liver disease however after reading the documentation, I declined because it was far too onerous for me and there was no guarantee I'd get the drug or a placebo. Speaking to my GP, he suggested I go on Ozempic in an effort to see if it could help the fatty liver disease, after some lengthy consideration (I had difficulty coming to terms with using a drug diabetics needed maybe more than me), I agreed to try it. I started on the lowest dose and it actually made me hungrier! As the dose was increased, I started to feel unwell to the point where I experienced the most severe diarrhoea and nausea I haver ever experienced which lasted for 2.5 weeks. I ditched the Ozempic as soon as I started with the side effect symptoms as I suspected it was the problem as opposed to a Gastro bug. My GP agreed I should cease its use immediately and eventually, things returned to normal.
Some people might go ok with it, I was sick as dog and regret ever trying it.
