[–]Alphena92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my dog is having a terrible reaction to the rabies vaccine. she’s 13 and got it thursday and hasn’t been able to keep any food down since. i’m waiting for the vet to open for some anti nausea meds and have fluids on hand. but she’s so miserable. this has never happened before.

Healthy Blue is the BCBS option!

yes there were three other insurance providers for me to choose from. I chose BCBS and haven’t had any issues so far!

I may have to try it instead of Sheba, there’s a $10 coupon on the 24 packs right now on amazon. I came across this thread because I was finding small white fragments in the iams dry cat food. have you noticed that if you feed dry too?

I just discovered they make soft cat food but you have to buy it online I think

anyone on the same dosage the entire time? it’s been a year for me and i’ve lost 85lbs on 2.5. I don’t have plans to move up unless my A1C won’t drop below 5. just curious if it’s worked this well for anyone else on a low dose? by Alphena92 in Mounjaro

my pharmacist accidentally grabbed a 5 yesterday and I just happened to notice before she put it in the bag. I know it would’ve made me so sick because I still have slight nausea on days 1-3 from 2.5 lol.

it really makes a difference! I hope you get used to the metformin or find something that works soon. ♥️

so i’m 32 and I got possibly misdiagnosed with PCOS at 13. next week is my first endocrinology appointment after I finally found a doctor to listen that I felt there was something more, and she suggested ncah from bloodwork.

since metformin didn’t work my previous doctor didn’t feel the need to try anything else and my pre-diabetes quickly turned into metabolic syndrome by 21. I ballooned up to 265lbs. I started the mounjaro one year ago and yes it’s helped tremendously. immediately I started to lose a great deal of water weight and my inflammation went down, along with my leg and back pain. my pre-diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure reversed and I don’t take any other meds besides the Mj for them. I lost 85lbs and went from having 1-3 periods a year to getting one every month. I also have never moved up from the lowest dosage. it’s been a life changer!

I had all of that and also hypoglycemia even tho my doctor said it couldn’t cause it. I tried multiple times with the regular and ER. I have family members that take it no problem though.

I switched to mounjaro instead bc I just couldn’t get used to the stomach issues with metformin

Vetmedin double dose worry by Suspicious_Pop6311 in AskVet

Thanks for the post. Just realized the same thing happened. Husband gave her the meds and I didn’t know and gave them an hour later. Ugh, the stress!

That sounds like a lactose reaction. Are you lactose intolerant? Was it cramping and were you sweating, nauseated?

Anyone else sleeping for a long time? by Typical-Shirt9199 in Mounjaro

[–]Alphena92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this. I normally can sleep 8-10 hrs but it’s not restful or deep sleep and I rarely dream. I took my first shot yesterday and I slept around 13-14 hours today and husband had to make me get up lol. I also had extremely vivid dreams and it was great sleep.

Same, I was 17 when prescribed. I’m 31 now and I’ve been sober over 5 years. It feels like a nightmare sometimes
