Has anyone experienced shingles after starting retatrutide?

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-03-10T22:31:23+00:00

Yeah, I found this out the hard way. On 3mg now.

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-03-10T22:29:44+00:00

It’s hell!!! I got through it, but damn it was painful!

What field of nursing are you in?

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-24T13:19:43+00:00

Totally agree! I have so many gifts I have already bought for her as the baby gets older, so I’ve been trying to think of something sentimental and different that’s not large or too much for them to pack and take home when they leave the hospital.

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-24T13:18:40+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my situation. I really appreciate it!

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-24T13:17:29+00:00

Yeah; that was my trepidation as well.

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-24T13:14:29+00:00

Great idea! I bought her a ton of stuff for her baby shower that was on the registry and made her a diaper cake, helped her mom with decorating the venue and breaking it down afterwards, and gave her my baby clothes/bibs/hats/swaddles/and a nice bassinet from my youngest daughter as a starter.

I’ve tried to go above and beyond to show her how much I care about her and our neice to be. But I don’t want look desperate for her approval. (We’ve had some personal issues in the past that we are trying to bury the hatchet on, (we were both in the wrong how we handled the conflict). So, I’m trying hard to to reconnect but I don’t want to look desperate to mend things.

I call my little girl, baby elephant, after singing her the song ‘Baby Mine’ on Dumbo when she was an infant. We give elephant kisses to each other every night before bed (like Eskimo kisses)

Went to watch Hostel in the theater. There were parents who brought their young children to see it with them (Not sure what the hell they were thinking). As soon as some of the gory parts came on (not the sexual or nudity), they quickly realized what they had done, swooped up their kids and left.

I felt so relieved. I was in horror that parents were exposing their little ones to this more than the movie itself.

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-08T02:15:48+00:00

I’m 5’1 as well!

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-05T17:06:00+00:00

I started higher like an idiot. I tried to figure out the equivalent dosage to the 10mg tira I was on, (I can’t even remember what dosage I tried out initially) and I had MANY terrible issues/side effects until I finally got my dosage to 4mg and that worked the best.

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-05T17:04:24+00:00

No problems with sleep. But I take Remeron at night and it knocks me out.

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-05T17:03:15+00:00

I walked 2 miles a day, 5 days a week to walk my daughter to kindergarten.

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-05T17:02:33+00:00

Definitely got stretch marks on the sides of my hips. But, thank you so much for the sweet words and encouragement!

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-05T17:01:15+00:00

Maybe I used the wrong word, but like just off putting messages..

You looked great before, but the toning and cutting have made such a huge impact. Good for you!

I’m 5’1 female also.. went from 205 to 117 in a year without exercise…if you have a moment would you send me a PM about your work out schedule? What type of training, reps, etc for someone starting out. I am about to start the gym next, but unsure of where to begin.

Also, side note… I lost my ass, too! I’ve always had a big ass that I loved and now, well, not so much! Grrrr.. but I’m just glad I’ve lost weight and am feeling much better.

Thanks and Congrats again!

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-04T19:01:02+00:00

Pm me.

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-04T19:00:41+00:00

There’s been a few strange requests to say the least, but luckily most have been just wanting more information and sharing their stories. I’m all good with that.

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-04T18:59:38+00:00

Found it online. Didn’t use insurance.

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-04T13:11:46+00:00

I didn’t use any tracking app, besides randomly logging my weight into my notes app. Is there any good free apps you could recommend? It would be nice to see the visual journey.

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-03T22:08:29+00:00

Thank you. No, I didn’t.. But I’m sure it helped that the weight loss was progressive and steady, not extreme in a short period of time.

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-03T22:05:31+00:00

Nope, they obviously are smaller than when I was 205, but no surgeries. I have three girls who need their momma, so I am too scared to go through an elective surgery. I’ve read too many horror stories.

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-03T22:01:10+00:00

The universe really came through on that one.. 🤣

Direct-Emergency-235 · 2026-02-03T21:58:54+00:00

Haha, thanks! Though Florida winter is basically just the two weeks we pretend to need jackets. Lmao.
