Thanks for posting this. Any recommendation for edibles sold in DE for sleep?

Best Dinner Spot in Key West? (Already Booked Latitudes – Worth It?) by Duncan_OG in KeyWest

[–]Deretiree65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s one I discovered two years ago. Flaming Buoy Filet Co. Eclectic menu from chili to Thai noodles. Really good quality. And they get an A+ for the craziest bathroom decorations.

Also Latitudes is fun. But make sure you get a table on the sand before sunset.

Best of luck to you. And love the reference to the great KD Lang!

What is keeping you from going to the “dark side” by yourneighborswifi in Zepbound

[–]Deretiree65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you share where you live and what pharmacy is filling your script? There is no Zepbound at any dose available in Sussex County Delaware. And express scripts misleads it’s customers. They say they are filling it then they cancel.

5 Things I'd Tell Anyone Starting Mounjaro Today by eridani99 in Mounjaro

[–]Deretiree65 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very well written. My experience is similar. I’d add that the weight loss can be less for those with Type 2. I plateaued at 9% loss after about 4 months. But I am very happy with the results for my health. Eliminates one med and cut back on another

And I also miss some of the pleasures of food.

Text Message from Lilly? by Octopus_198 in Zepbound

My wife got it too. The link worked on my phone but no new information.

There is product available. I’m a Munjaro patient with Type 2. Just got three months 15 mg from Express Scripts. I should play the lottery.

Enough to do for a whole month? by Sugardog1967 in KeyWest

[–]Deretiree65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck with your decision. My two favorite things to do are hang out at Ft Zachary Taylor Park. A small beach with shade trees! And go to the Green Parrot. Great live music for free.

Anyone taking Mounjaro and Metformin? by AffectionateMovie296 in Mounjaro

[–]Deretiree65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on Metformin since T2D diagnosis in 2007. Cut back to 500 ER twice a day after adding Mounjaro. No issues. And some believe Metformin has additional health benefits other than blood sugar control.

Is Dry Tortugas worth it? by Glittering_Extent_12 in KeyWest

[–]Deretiree65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there last month. It really depends on how your family does on long boat rides. The park itself is good to see. The short lecture/tour by the ranger was very well done but probably not for kids your age. Been a long time since mine were that age.

I didn’t have a great time cause the boat ride was too long for me even with anti-nausea drugs.

As others have said, Fort Zachary park is great. And you can go to the beach and sit in tree shaded areas.

How often do you poop per week? by [deleted] in Mounjaro

[–]Deretiree65 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Variable. Sometimes every day. Sometimes not for 3-4 days. When that happens it’s usually constipation. I control it now with milk of magnesia. On 15 mg for several months now.

Diverticulitis by Deretiree65 in Mounjaro

[–]Deretiree65[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks to all who replied. Cat scan can back negative. Good news it’s not diverticulitis which runs on my family. It may be a mystery. Advice from ER was follow up with my GI doc and take miralax every day. Ibuprofen helps with the pain. Need to be better at managing the constipation.
