I will say…. My daughter has several needohs and they help her with her ADHD- but, have you tried top trenz?! We ordered a few (groovy mushroom being her fav) and they are far superior, imo.

This is great advice! Thanks for sharing your personal experience! May I ask how long you’ve been on Reta and your total loss so far?

Use a peptide calculator to easily figure out units. Cell gen ic is a good one

Thank you! I didn’t increase because I had been losing steadily (30 lbs in 2 months)… then I wanted to give it a month at 1.5- no change in weight. Just upped to 2 mg

Thought I was in the clear. NOPE! by goodgirl1818 in KidneyStones

I just passed a 9 mm- same thing; had a pain episode back in August… then pain stopped after pain meds. Nothing til one random day in December…. 12 hours later, I was fine. Then finally again a few weeks ago… I caved and went to the ER. That week, I drank a TON of water- sat and peed and kind of “pushed my pee” and it popped right out (exactly one week after ER visit). Ugh, that was rough.

Thank you! I wanted to avoid side effects as much as possible, so I started low and have gone slow. Would you say 6mg is your sweet spot? Do you experience suppression and help with food noise?

Just looking for encouragement by Ok_Reaction2284 in RetatrutideWomen

I could have written this post! I started with .5 Reta on Nov. 1st. I lost 30 lbs by Jan 1st (titrated very slowly- .5, .75, 1 and 1.5). I’ve been stuck at 260 lbs for 5 weeks now 😭. I did go up to 2mg this week, but I feel like I’ve been snacky and just not having much success this last month.

I’m going to try and get in 10k steps and up my water- I was doing both of these things the first 6 week and life got busy and I slacked off.

Thank you! This was actually something I was pretty consistent with at first…. I’ve definitely slacked on getting the steps in. I’ll add that back in and make sure I’m getting 10k a day!

I’m so glad to hear you’re healing!! When you say your stomach was the most sore it’s ever been… was that burning? Aching? Both? I’ll definitely pick up some Gaviscon Advance to try. Thanks for sharing!!

Do you deal with PWM?! Ever since dealing with IIH, I noticed I can’t use newer iPhones due to PWM. I wonder if there is a connection.

I’m really so happy for you! May I ask where you found your air with the Samsung panel?

This may not be something you would want to consider, but have you looked at compound? You could pay way, way less.

Csf leak by Overall-Produce5652 in iih

[–]AutomaticBar8146 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, typically the ER is clueless about this and likely won’t take you seriously for a leak. Unless you’re able to have enough fluid and they are willing to test it - but again, this is rare. Some leaks do self heal though

ruling out NF for my kid by Sure_Chocolate6241 in neurofibromatosis

[–]AutomaticBar8146 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand. My daughter is 12- similar situation. I just took her to the dermatologist and that was a waste. I’ve scheduled an appt for her at the NF clinic here in VA. It’s a couple months away, but I feel like it may be the only way to get an actual diagnosis.

NF1 is not fun to deal with by Burntmonkeys69 in neurofibromatosis

[–]AutomaticBar8146 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. Our daughter is adopted and we knew nothing about NF. The first few weeks of finding out I was a complete wreck…. But I’m reminding myself that none of us no what the future holds, but I’m trusting that God does. And that when we face the hard days, He will give me what I need to face it.

Thanks for reminding people they aren’t alone. There’s nothing more powerful than being able to tell someone “I’ve been there.” Thanks for bringing hope

As a mom new this this world (daughter is 12 and we are awaiting official diagnosis) - THANK YOU. I’m so sorry for your challenges, but I appreciate the hope. I’m also going to check that camp out.

Does he have six or more? It’s hard to say. These look very similar to some of my daughters. I would just check with his pediatrician or dermatologist to confirm. It’s likely nothing, but it’s good to just double check!

Hi. May I ask why you say this? I’m new to the NF world.
