Honestly, he's just not the right person to be making calls like this.

Genuine question - when people say a source has "gone grey," are they talking about aging out or does that phrase mean something different in this context?

Plenty of medications require lifelong use to maintain their effect - that's just how a lot of treatments work, and costs will likely come down over time. Also, the goal here isn't aesthetics, it's preventing real damage from chronically elevated blood sugar and out-of-control lipids, which wreak havoc on your blood vessels and liver over time. It's worth noting that people casually recommend supplements in these threads constantly, yet those have far less research behind them than FDA-approved medications. At the end of the day, nobody's forcing anyone to use GLP-1s - it's just another tool, and people can decide for themselves what fits their situation.

Worth noting that Flonase is actually a corticosteroid, and even though you're applying it topically it can still get absorbed systemically, so I'd keep any use short-term — two weeks max.

For the bumps and PIH I've had really good results using an ultrasonic with RF device over the injection spots, seems to do a solid job improving circulation in the area.

Honestly, this topic really does make people throw their hands up.

Honestly, if you're having to stack a bunch of antihistamines and jump through all these hoops just to tolerate a peptide, it's probably not worth it. Outside of the GLPs, nothing in this space is so transformative that it makes sense to put your body through that.
