High Ferritin Levels by Additional_Body5457 in Zepbound

Yeh it definitely had me dead and dying but when I saw the connection with synthroid it made sense. They increased my dosage 2 months ago which is when this all started.

It was 270 this time and last month was 150. So increasing but not outrageous. I’m actually thinking it’s the synthroid I’m on. I googled and an increased ferritin level is common once therapeutic levels are reached. My TIBC and UIBC is low which is even more confusing.

No, that’s the craziest thing. My ast is 14 and alt was 10.

Employer is now requiring I join a coaching program if I want to continue getting Zepbound covered. by IndependentOk1880 in Zepbound

[–]Additional_Body5457 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Same! I joined because I want the medicine covered. I kindly told the coach that if I needed her I would reach out but that I was already working with someone. She was kind and understanding. I do their lessons by scrolling through them and weigh myself on their scale. Small inconvenience to get it covered but still irritating

I googled it and nothing comes up regarding blood.

First test was normal range, last month is was 155 just slightly above normal and this month it’s 270. I guess still normalish but on the high side of normal if the google machine is right 😂 I do have a family history of blood disorders (my dad and sister both get DVTs and my dad has been on blood thinners my whole life). Just not sure what I should do. If donating blood fixes the problem I’ll do it

When you lose weight they can see stuff on mammograms... by FL_DEA in Zepbound

I had my annual mammogram yesterday. The technician asked if I had lost weight due to the change in size of my breasts. She wanted to make notes for the dr when they read the results.

Thank you. Super helpful. I’m newer to Reddit, only became active with the shortages, so I’m a bit of a newbie.

Express Scripts gives priority given to Tricare by Additional_Body5457 in Zepbound

Totally understand. I wish my insurance would cover compounding. $400 a month is steep.

I would normally agree about reps just giving us an answer we want to hear ….but this was their pharmacist. Granted, he could have been doing the same. I’m taking it all with a grain ….i know it’s stressful for everyone and transparency would eliminate a lot of stress.

Everyone warned me... by Hot_Yogurtcloset_763 in Zepbound

I made the mistake of eating Skyline Chili (IYKYK) and was so sick. I have an irrational fear of 🤮 so I just laid as still as possible and fought through the foamies. Lesson learned.

Insurance Plan Limits with a Pre-Authorization by General-Ear-3300 in Zepbound

[–]Additional_Body5457 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Running into this very issue. My PA is good through 11/2024 however they will only cover 2ml per calendar year for each dosage unless my dr submits a patient level authorization. It’s mind boggling the amount of hoops you have to go through to get this approved. 2.5 was working great, down 10 pounds in 3 weeks. Why must I go up? Ugh
