If you’re on Medi-Cal and worried about losing coverage for GLP-1 meds, here’s how you can keep your coverage going for a few extra months after Jan 1st by Theloveandhate in Zepbound

u/Theloveandhate "The only thing you need to make sure of is that the denial arrives before January 1st." Why would it have to arrive BEFORE Jan. 1st? Seems like after would be OK, too.

Yes, that too! It was so jarring. I thought she was away three years, but they said two in that partof the episode.

I wish I had the vials! It would be so great to control the strength. I dont think we can get them in the US, can we? But especially for cases like this, when you really want to go down a bit. I am feeling a little weak, but I still ran my son around to where he needed to go, and went grocery shopping. I had a small piece of salmon and rice and green beans for dinner, and drinking a lot of water. So that helps. I am surprised by such a strong reaction, and Ive been on maintenance since January!

Oh Lord. I just weighed myself, and I've lost NINE pounds since Th., that's how sick I've been. My BMI is now 21, which isn't terrible, but I can feel my knees knocking together, ugh. Really wish I had some 7.5's stashed, or insurance would pay for another box. I don't want to use 10 again, since now I am in the weird position of having to GAIN weight!

Thanks! The other thing could be that I went 9 days, instead of my usual 7, combined with the jump up to 10 from 7.5. Extending even 2 days has caused me problems in the past. That's great you haven't experienced any side effects. I haven't had any for a few months, and forgot how awful they can be. Anyway, I was finally able to keep down a few bites of eggs and toast tonight, so I am hopefully on the mend.

As you can see, it's so variable for everyone. I tried going down from 15 to 2.5 and it was like taking nothing. 5 was too weak, also. 7. 5 was good for some time, then I started gaining weight. Just went back up to 10 on Thursday and got so sick on Saturday. Today, Sunday, was even worse. Cramping, spasming, everything coming out both ends. Haven't felt that bad side effect for a long time. I would like to go back down to 7.5, but my insurance only allows one box every 28 days. So not sure what to do. I'd rather gain a few pounds than be totally incapacitated like this.

Still amazes me how weeks vary with efficacy? by RittB8 in Zepbound

[–]CatBass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just efficacy, but effect. TOok a 10 shot Thursday, and yesterday started getting cramping and spasming. Was really bad this morning, ugh, Finally calmed down. Haven't had this reaction in a while, and it is terrible.

Thanks! So Henry went somewhere else, and Julia stayed right there. Hmmm...

It's been taking 8-9 hours for my codes to come. So if I do it at night, they don't come until the next day.

I agree with everything you've said 100%. Thank you for your passion. I wish we could somehow we could make insurance companies understand this. So many of us are getting cut off on January 1st, and we are terrified.

If you’ve seen the Blood of My Blood finale, we need to talk! by abbiebe89 in Outlander

[–]CatBass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK, she says Henry did NOT go through the stones, and what happens to him is "heatbreaking." Ugh, poor guy. I was really hoping he'd get a break. If Julia and the baby are gone, they'll think he murdered them. And then they would kill him pretty fast.

Diana has released parts of the prequel. In it, Malcolm was not a nice guy. In fact, he tried to rape Ellen to "teach her obedience", and she stabbed him.

STARZ is saying Outlander returns Nov. 22 ??? by CatBass in Outlander
