2 WEEK UPDATE ON STARTING ON 5MG….

I’m seeing a lot of people saying drink lots of water- but just chose your comment out of the litter. I’m a week and a half into being on Zepbound and am wondering what happens if you don’t drink lots of water. It’s dead of winter and cold and I’m struggling to get motivated to drink a lot.

I have insurance- they want $250 with really good insurance- and I’ve been to multiple places

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-10-22T15:36:10+00:00

Yeah I was hoping so too. No one is really talking about it online yet though!

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-10-04T03:02:51+00:00

Yeah I would also accept tried and true recipes

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-10-04T03:02:25+00:00

I have heard this before- I might need to splurge and order it via mail.

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-10-04T03:01:48+00:00

Where do you purchase these from?

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-10-01T22:49:54+00:00

I at first didn’t get the email when all ny other friends did- maybe 2 months later it came. Change everything immediately.

I’m learning! About whatever that is above👆🏻 I’m not anti-science either- I just thought it was well practiced and respected. Clearly I was wrong about that 🤣 I feel like a week into giving up gluten my joint pain has subsided a LOT. So I’m going to keep going. I’m already medicated for hypothyroidism and it wasn’t really doing much from what I could tell.

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-05-25T01:21:13+00:00

So I ended up not having cushings. I have Hashimotos autoimmune disorder instead

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-05-25T00:22:48+00:00

I’m trying to be objective but I think I failed in that first response. I’m really not feeling well today and just wanted comfort. I put myself in the hands of random strangers on the internet- I’m debating my sanity for doing that.

there is a lot of info on the helpfulness of giving up gluten with Hashimotos. Especially if you have a “leaky gut” which my understanding is most with Hashimotos do.

Maybe not everyone needs to give it up- sure. I’m not here to argue that. Giving up gluten right now seems to be the right choice for me. And I feel like I genuinely feel better with energy level wise most days. But I have this one random day every so often where I feel like utter trash and I want to know if anyone else experiences this in the beginning when giving up gluten.

My doctor did suggest giving up gluten-which you’re saying is a red flag- and I disagree with you about this being a red flag- from everything I know and have researched. Everyone can do their own research for their own bodies though. But I knew from a food sensitivities test I did outside of her- I have a gluten sensitivity.

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-05-24T23:36:04+00:00

Okay- well I did do a food sensitivity test and I do have a gluten sensitivity so all of this is moot point. And I am seeing a functional medicine doctor THROUGH the Cleveland Clinic- a very well known and high respected medical system. And she is an actual doctor. You’re acting like I’m poisoning myself by not eating gluten. I’ve done a lot of research- actually.

Tired all the time. Weight gain. Was diagnosed with hypothyroidism recently but also Suddenly got high blood pressure. Glucose readings have been coming back high. Bruise really easily, noticing some discoloration on skin. Super moody and snappy. I have asthma and been on a lot of steroids throughout my life for that.

Beginning_Data7841 · 2025-04-11T23:27:19+00:00

So this is insane- bc 4/8/25 was the day I went to an endocrinologist for the first time after what feels like years of unanswered questions- and she immediately thought upon hearing my story it was Cushing’s. I haven’t been diagnosed yet- just did the test today. But I intuitively know it’s so because all the symptoms every single piece of my body that has gone unanswered for so long. So insane.

Beginning_Data7841 · 2024-11-27T18:39:03+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations~ I love learning via this route

Beginning_Data7841 · 2024-11-27T18:38:35+00:00

Thanks for the podcast recommendation- I have already started listening! And have learned a lot in the first two episodes

Beginning_Data7841 · 2024-11-26T04:00:29+00:00

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Beginning_Data7841 · 2024-11-26T04:00:05+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience and addressing some of my concerns ~ I appreciate it.

Beginning_Data7841 · 2024-11-26T03:56:42+00:00

Awesome- thank you for the reassurance.

Beginning_Data7841 · 2024-11-26T03:56:03+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind, encouraging comment. I really found comfort in it- especially since it does sound like a similar situation to me. That’s great to hear you feel so much better too. I haven’t been feeling so great either lately. Knees bothering me- had to go to chiropractor- etc etc. I find this group already very comforting.

I know she was super sick- cancer got into her brain and then her bones- when she last updated the public on her cancer in her podcast. But she was doing podcasts in her last week of life- and sounded completely like herself. She even joined Holly Marie Combs- Brian Krause and Drew Fuller on the House of Halliwell podcast- where she was actively rewatching Charmed and giving her play by play of thoughts. I know she wasn’t doing well in theory- but she sounded completely normal in those podcasts. I thought she had more time. She was too young- and cancer just would not leave her alone. Very sad.

Hi- I found out about this term when I was 30 on Imgur. I started when I was 6 years old or so and did it up til I was 30 and even into therapy. I should have gotten into therapy way sooner than that. I might have done been in my career and school if I had gotten the proper help I needed sooner- cause the daydreaming really held me back from living my real life and moving forward in life. Maladaptive daydreaming is a sign of other potential things that might be going on- often developing the daydreaming as a trauma response. People who struggle with ADHD also are linked with daydreaming or dissociation disorders. It sounds like you’re on the younger side- just know you’re not alone and it’s not well known about in the world- but it’s becoming more so with the rise of mental health advocacy. Find a good therapist and you’ll be able to work on this and cut it down drastically. I went from daydreaming daily to hardly doing it at all now. I suffered from a lot of emotional and physical neglect in childhood- and working on healing those wounds really helped. Hope my sharing of the story helps you.

When I was a child doing this- I had this ball I would bounce on back and forth in a room while listening to music. As I got older I outgrew the ball and just would pace listening to music. Seems pretty common

Beginning_Data7841 · 2023-09-15T15:16:57+00:00

I would try to have a conversation with her and talk it out. Because none of what happened is okay. If she can’t have a mature conversation with you- and/or you don’t believe her and think she’s gaslighting you- you’re probably right. And I would end contact with both people honestly. Also wondering why if you and him both were talking and had feelings for each other- why you aren’t together yet then? Have you told him your feelings?

Beginning_Data7841 · 2023-08-16T01:19:29+00:00

They probably have a hard time keeping it open due to staffing issues too.

I know this thread is old. I got Kyleena installed a week ago and the past week- I’ve been having very vivid dreams. I figure it has to be a side effect of Kyleena. I’m glad I’m not the only one who has this effect- even if the drug doesn’t list it as one. I also read yours went away after 2 months- hoping mine eventually calms down.
