A mum on the school run convinced me to try weight loss jabs. They made me so sick I felt I was dying - and I STILL have the strangest side effects...

It's been six months since I accidentally poisoned myself with a weight-loss jab I shouldn't have taken. But while the memory of that horrible time has faded, the effect of that single, large dose is yet to wear off. Back in July, I was convinced by a fellow school mum to try her Wegovy injection 'pen', which is, alongside Ozempic and Mounjaro, one of the self-administered slimming jabs that have taken the world by storm.

They were designed for diabetics and people who are obese and have tried everything else to lose weight. But my friend – who was already slim – managed to get hold of it by buying it online. Looking back now, I can't believe how stupid I was. Firstly, I was a perfectly healthy weight. I also didn't realise that patients given these appetite-suppressing jabs will start on a small dose and work their way up to a larger amount over several months.

The injection I took was four times stronger than the dose most obese patients begin on – and it had disastrous consequences. Within 24 hours I was suffering bouts of violent vomiting, accompanied by the worst migraine I've ever suffered. This went on for several days, and there were points where I wondered whether I might have to go to hospital. Thankfully the symptoms slowly faded and, after a few weeks, I made what seemed like a full recovery.
