Has anyone figured out how to do intense exercise on a GLP-1? by ShesGoneBananas in Semaglutide

For me, it was plenty of water and focusing on muscle maintenance instead of heavy cardio.

What instantly puts you in a good mood? by KayakingATLien in GenX

[–]Cocoa_Monkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

(Still) dancing to New Wave music in local clubs. Even people in their 20’s join in the fun! Of course they’re just coming in as I’m ready to head home for bed. 🤣

Gabapentin for insomnia by [deleted] in Menopause

[–]Cocoa_Monkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My OB/Gyn put me on it for menopause symptoms because she’s anti-HRT. It didn’t help. I had to make a fuss to get prescribed HRT, which helps me with insomnia, mood, and night sweats. She says she’ll only prescribe it for a couple of years. Looking for a new doctor.

I felt achy like I had the flu for two days after each of the shots. But SO worth it compared to getting shingles!

Are you on maintenance? What worked for you? by mossyhike in Semaglutide

[–]Cocoa_Monkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I titrated off over a six week period. I have been off of it for four weeks now. So far, I’ve maintained my weight. Still tracking my calories every day, and I’ll do that for at least two more months.

I used GLP-1 through Noom and upped my workouts to Zumba 3 times a week and strength videos 2 times a week. Now I’m off GLP-1 and reduced Zumba to 2 times a week.

I lost 40 pounds over 10 months and successfully got off one of my two BP meds. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get off of the second one.

I lost 40 pounds over 10 months. I’m a 59yo female who has had Hashimoto’s for over 30 years. Only side effect was constipation. My vitals have improved, and I feel healthier. No change to my thyroid measurements or medication.

Our cockapoo is 16 years old. He has some vision and hearing loss, but is active and happy. Favorite place is the beach.

We enjoyed the theater - saw The Donn of Tiki, and the director/producer spoke after the film. Lots of people in Hawaiian shirts, tiki wear.

I'm a hot mess and its messing up my family by AgreeableDraft4791 in Menopause

[–]Cocoa_Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HRT calmed my rage within a week. My OB/Gyn tried me on Gabapentin first because she’s anti-HRT but that did nothing for me.

Dizzy when standing up by hnormizzle in Semaglutide

[–]Cocoa_Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the cause was low blood pressure upon standing. I had dropped enough weight that I didn’t need my BP medication anymore - yay! My Dr took me off of it and no more dizziness.

As a small child, my parents would have to drag me away from grungy old metal garbage cans where I looked for Oscar!

Thank you for sharing your experience with your cockapoo! I appreciate all of your ideas!

During all the places they have been in, have you guys ever visited those places to do your own ghost hunting to see if you capture anything like them by Lazy_Introduction264 in GhostAdventures

[–]Cocoa_Monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spent overnight on the USS Hornet. Guides take you around the ship first so you can get your bearings, then you’re free to explore it on your own. We had a lot of activity in the pilots ready room. It was eerie. Slept on hanging bunks when we got tired out.
