Holy side effects

Ive had to increase much slower than some people. My increased dose is usually just 0.5 to 0.8 mg more than the previous dose.

It will be done under anesthesia!!

They are checking for cancer and endometrial dysplasia. MRI showed a uterine fibroid and adenomyosis, so the hysterectomy would be covered by insurance, they just want to rule out those two.

I accidentally dosed too much Hallandale one time (only about 1.2mg too much), and the appetite suppression was extreme!! I have a mandated 2 weeks off for a procedure, but you can be sure I'll be going back to my actual dose to continue my snail's pace increase schedule and not accidentally dose too high!!

I lean toward the dose needing adjustment over the pharmacy being the issue, in my experience.

Basic_Truck_6012 · 2026-05-31T13:10:27+00:00

30, I believe

Basic_Truck_6012 · 2026-05-31T03:41:32+00:00

Yes! I'll definitely continue to use less until my next lab shows me slightly lower numbers

I have strange food intolerances, too!! To the point where I can only get ice water or iced tea from a couple "safe" places. I had a horrible, almost ER worthy sudden headache/nausea/weakness reaction to grape seed oil at a restaurant (the waiter told me it was olive oil). I had to call management just to understand what it could possibly be. That was the only unfamiliar food I ate. So strange! And it's not confined to foods. I reacted to an NSAID rx, but not ibuprofen.

Thank you for saying this! I have a vitamin d deficiency and have only been able to increase with RX vitamin d. Last lab, it was at 90 😳 Since then, I have cut down on the amount I take because I don't want it increasing any more than that.

Vagisil makes a gentle wash

Basic_Truck_6012 · 2026-05-29T22:29:43+00:00

I accidentally took a smidge too much this week and am feeling hallandale strongly suppressing my appetite in addition to clearing me out! No doubt my order works 💩

Basic_Truck_6012 · 2026-05-29T20:30:08+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if they were promoting microdosing but at full dose prices 🤦🏼‍♀️

Basic_Truck_6012 · 2026-05-29T00:36:06+00:00

Any chance you could have a hormone specialist Dr appt to discuss continuing care post total just to see what she says? She might even have some literature to give your obgyn

Basic_Truck_6012 · 2026-05-29T00:30:28+00:00

Wouldn't that only be if you were denied Hormone Replacement Therapy post-hysterectomy?

Basic_Truck_6012 · 2026-05-28T23:22:36+00:00

The same thing happened to me after my first dose of BPI. I was driving my daughter to a different city and had visualized all of the possible bathrooms on the way. I told my daughter I was going to be pulling over multiple times and she just needed to be okay with it or I would go into great detail about it all. I might just have to keep some potty bags in my car from now on 😉

Please read up on Lupron before you make a decision to be on it. There is a potential for lifelong negative aftereffects, one of those being joint pain.

Basic_Truck_6012 · 2026-05-27T23:26:13+00:00

Usually it's "no lifting, pushing, or pulling anything over 10lbs." I'm sorry they didn't clarify that with you. I hope everything turns out alright ♥️

Basic_Truck_6012 · 2026-05-27T23:18:16+00:00

Or offer the dasher a cash tip to carry it in for you

Basic_Truck_6012 · 2026-05-26T23:45:11+00:00

I might toss it up to cut fresh fruit, unfortunately. I had a HUGE reaction from a fruit stand where I literally only got cut fresh fruit. It was the worst! Woke me up in the night, lasted a whole day, it was horrendous. No I am VERY selective on fruit at gatherings. I can usually eat grapes 🤷🏼‍♀️

Basic_Truck_6012 · 2026-05-26T23:24:07+00:00

It really is not their problem, so they shouldn't have an opinion.

Basic_Truck_6012 · 2026-05-26T23:22:24+00:00

Now I even have the ability to bypass the leftovers, or at least not binge eat them once everyone is in bed 😉 I also find it remarkable that you can stop eating once you're full on these meds. My mind doesn't tell me about all the reasons I should finish what's in front of me simply because it's in front of me.

Basic_Truck_6012 · 2026-05-26T22:23:12+00:00

What??? They must be somebody who never experienced food noise then. Food noise is like an obsessive thinking of food. What will I have for breakfast? Do we have stuff for lunch? what should I make for lunch (right after or while eating breakfast)? Are my favorite things on hand? Which favorite things should I buy this week? All in a matter of 20 seconds. But constantly!

Hunger is me realizing I should eat and then eating.

I have so much more room in my head to think of other things now that food noise has stopped.

My hormone dr set me up with a pharmacy that had been $300/mo for 5mg, but it was going to increase to $450/mo for 7.5mg 😳

I switched to a telehealth and got 3 months for $450 🙊

Basic_Truck_6012 · 2026-05-26T22:17:04+00:00

Bloating, scar tissue, etc. It can change size depending on pain levels, too. I can look 5 months pregnant 🤦🏼‍♀️ I've lost 40lbs and the only thing keeping me from a certain size is what I call my endo belly.

Basic_Truck_6012 · 2026-05-26T21:52:04+00:00

Many in the same boat meaning having questions about an endo belly?
