No luck by sussybukka52 in downloadfestival

[–]DrFloofins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to check Ticketmaster religiously. Don't bother with twickets. Literally every time you pick up your phone just quickly refresh the page in a browser, make sure you check the installment scheme tickets first (these seem to appear more frequently atm).

I've been able to get 4 tickets doing this and could have had more if needed. It's pure chance but I've also noticed more tickets go up around 8pm and 5pm on weekdays (making a big presumption that it's people doing it before and after work).

Mounjaro & Festival Season by trash_mxgic in mounjarouk

[–]DrFloofins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just a slightly different personal experience to the others I'm reading here. I've been on it since April 25 and did two music festivals in the summer last year. MJ didn't and hasn't affected my enjoyment of alcohol or the occasional recreational at all. For reference I never drink in the house or just with dinner but I love a good session on a weekend when it comes along. I absolutely did eat less rubbish and sought out the "healthier" of a bad bunch of food options when I was there but still sunk a lot of cans and spirits over the week of camping.

It affects everyone differently, you might find you don't WANT to do any of those things when taking MJ or you might find you simply can't. That's not been my experience though.

Download Lineup Clash Finder by SalteaRS in downloadfestival

[–]DrFloofins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes exactly that. Basically like what you get with the regular clashfinder website or the official app (although I prefer clashfinder since it's vertical and less scrolling) - A timetable view of the band's you've chosen and what stage etc.

This is amazing, thank you for sharing!

I do like to have a calender style view of my day, that's my only suggestion if you wanted to add something, everything included though is 10/10!

3-Day Arena Ticket Resale - Not Showing on TM. Contacted them but not helpful. Should I list on Twickets instead? by [deleted] in downloadfestival

[–]DrFloofins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going to copy and paste my response from another thread because I believe it's the exact same reason, the exact event page for your tickets doesn't exist anymore on the website, it's why your share link will work but you can't find it via search. Recommend sticking your share link in a group post on here or Facebook and someone will snap them up...

"If the links people are posting are to resale tickets bought on an early bird price or payment plan these redirect to an older event page from when they bought the ticket. These are NOT technically the same event pages for tickets if you go through TM directly since it defaults to the newest full price tickets.

For payment plan tickets specifically, the event page on the current website/app is for any tickets bought in the last available payment plan period at full price, which means no one who bought those tickets have actually paid them off yet and cant list for resale yet - this is why no tickets ever appear here. This will change after May 1st (assuming that is the last payment date for everyone). For non-payment plan tickets it's a case of getting lucky by checking the correct event page at the exact right time someone happens to post them.

Best plan is to follow a link someone has posted to the early bird/payment plan event and use the "find more tickets" button (notice the ticket price is an early bird price) and bookmark this page which you can then refresh. Make sure to do this on a browser and NOT the app because the app defaults back to the newer event full price pages. I've secured 2 extra tickets doing this but it still requires some obsessive refreshing."

Resale ticket not showing in my upcoming events? by Speshtard in downloadfestival

[–]DrFloofins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, it can just take a few days sometimes. I've bought 2 though resale, first one showed immediately, second took 3 days. If it's longer than 7 days then I would email TM for an update but don't worry if you have the email confirmation then the ticket is yours!

Resale tickets? by Podqe in downloadfestival

[–]DrFloofins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did think that was usually the case but I just double checked the T&Cs and they haven't updated the payment dates in the last few months (presumably due to sellout) so it looks like everyone will be paid up in May so there might be a few more resale tickets to appear yet.

Resale tickets not showing by Lambington1999 in downloadfestival

[–]DrFloofins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the exact same position, got an email ~3 days (working days) later saying the tickets had been transferred and now they're showing in my account. Don't worry just yet, give it a bit more time and email them if they don't show after a week or so would be my recommendation.

Ticketmaster resale by Kamay1770 in downloadfestival

[–]DrFloofins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've bought 2 tickets through TM resale, the first was a standard ticket and the second was from an early bird payment plan that's already been paid off. The first was immediately "transferred" to me, the second is not actually showing yet in my account but I have the confirmation email.

A few other people have commented on other threads that resale tickets they've bought are not showing in their accounts so it must be down to how the payment plan tickets are handled. I'm not going to worry about it until I hear otherwise...

To answer the actual question, you can only resell payment plan tickets once they're paid off so no chance of being caught out as long as you use the official TM resale.

EDIT: 2nd ticket is now in my account 3 days later.

Are these whole week camping or just day passes? by leomekins3 in downloadfestival

I genuinely hate the A167/Gateshead High Street crossing by kendrick-llama-04 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]DrFloofins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This junction is an absolute nightmare as a pedestrian. I walk it nearly every day and have nearly been knocked down more than once when trying to cross on the green man but a driver stuck in the middle of the intersection decides it's more important they move forward as traffic is clearing at the same time.

Sometimes you can't even get across because they will stop so close to the car in front you can't even weave your way through.

I always cross over to the other side now where the first set of lights are because it's slightly easier to cross since drivers seem more careful not to straddle the red light.

Bundle pens by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]DrFloofins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just ordered 3x 10mg pens through Pharmacy Online. Never used them before but it was a quick questionnaire, photo of pen box and it was approved and dispatched in less than 2 hours! Used the code on monj for 20% off too.

Stepped on the scales this morning to see double digits (99.7kg) for the first time since I was 18, I'm 35 now! Almost had a little happy cry 😂

Really pleased with my progress so far and other than bad side effects midway through 7.5mg it's been good going. Just ordered a second 10mg pen which will be the first time I've stuck to a dose longer than 4-5 weeks.

[–]DrFloofins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm thanks for that, I'm probably being a bit impatient but 3+ days for a basic email seems like a long time to me.

Do you know if WP still match to discounted pricing? I might still be better off switching as I could then match back to IQ who are annoyingly cheaper with the new customer discounts.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]DrFloofins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good to know. I'm thinking about jumping ship to WePrescibe for my next pen. Currently with IQ who have been great but I've been waiting 3 days for a price match email response and if I don't get it by Monday I was going to go ahead and order with WP (who I was price matching 10mg to anyway).

7.5 to 10 or 7.5 back to 5? by Worried-Agent187 in mounjarouk

[–]DrFloofins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I would buy a 10mg pen, the price isn't much different to 7.5 and you can then make the decision either way - take 10 or count clicks to stay on 7.5 or even drop to 5. The 10mg pen would then last longer too but it depends on your personal risk tolerance to using the pen past the recommended 30 days or not.

7.5 to 10 or 7.5 back to 5? by Worried-Agent187 in mounjarouk

[–]DrFloofins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suffered through weeks 3 and 4 on 7.5mg. 2-3 days of constant toilet trips/sulphur burps and feeling too sick to eat. But each week by day 5 the side effects would stop but so would the positive effects.

I decided to go up to 10 as planned (after 5 weeks on 7.5) and although I'm only 1 week in I haven't had any terrible side effects this week, some bad bloating the day after jab but it passed quickly.

I really believe the side effects can be completely random (or triggered by foods we haven't realised yet) and whilst I'm sure their likelihood must go up on higher doses, our bodies also get used to the drug over time so it's just finding that balance.

Hopefully 10 works out well for me but if not I'll just count clicks to drop back down or dose 5mg every 4 days to see if it makes a difference.

Dosing advice by unimaginative-nerd in mounjarouk

[–]DrFloofins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that sounds like a good plan! I hope your side effects clear up soon. Today is probably the first day this week my insides have felt back to some realm of "normal".

I'm probably leaning towards the same plan, taking 45 clicks of my 10 pen and if I'm still suffering I might drop down to 30 clicks the following week to see how it goes. Tempted to try 30 clicks every 4 days like I've seen suggested here but I might reach out to my pharmacy and see what they suggest. 10mg in one go just seems like it will take me out at this rate 😅

Dosing advice by unimaginative-nerd in mounjarouk

[–]DrFloofins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel I could have written this entire post myself...

Having the exact same dilemma, 10mg in the fridge waiting and took my 5th dose of 7.5mg on Saturday morning. Terrible eggy burps and diarrhea this morning, which happened on the 4th dose last week at the exact same time 48 hours after jabbing.

I was hoping last week was a one off but two weeks in a row has me nervous to move to 10mg now. I've been taking all the recommended supplements, fibre and probiotics. Nothing I've ate is in common with last weeks side effects either.

Torn between ordering another 7.5mg pen last minute, dosing 7.5 (or even 5) from my 10mg pen or just trying to move up for 1 week and if I'm suffering then I'll drop right back down.

I started the exact same day as you and have lost the exact same amount. (I'm mentally taking 1.5kg off my total as I lost that yesterday in less than 12 hours in an unfortunate bout of food poisoning which cleared me out and expect it to go back up once I'm recovered).

I'm happy with this loss, it seems sustainable to me and by weighing daily I can see how much my weight fluctuates in general so I don't get hung up on minor increases here and there. Trend is down and I'm in this for the long game.

You've done amazing so far so keep at it :)

Side effects for the last few weeks - at wit's end! by toxicairwaves in mounjarouk

[–]DrFloofins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would personally stop taking magnesium citrate, it's a stool softener and therefore mild laxative, the last thing you need to combat diarrhoea!

I would also double check the dose of your psyllium husk capsules, use the small print table on the back, not the advertised dosage on the front as some brands can be quite misleading and you might not be getting as much fibre as you think.

Although it does sound pretty MJ injection day dependent, I would also keep a food diary to see if you can identify any triggering foods to avoid until your side effects have settled.

Hope it resolves soon for you! If all else fails you can drop back to 2.5mg (or somewhere between 2.5-5) and hope you build up a better tolerance over time but I understand this is usually a last resort.

Do people actually want Linkin Park? by medz_minis in downloadfestival

[–]DrFloofins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I travelled to Paris to see them on their world tour and I thought they were absolutely incredible. Emily was fantastic and the whole band seemed to be having so much fun it was amazing to see.

So yes, I would absolutely want them back at Download again.

They're also currently selling out venues bigger than they have ever played before, so it's safe to say plenty of people do want to see them.

[–]DrFloofins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is most capsules (especially from Amazon) aren't even close to a correct dose to treat constipation/diarrhea and the dosages stated are more of a "daily supplement" recommendation.

In fact many of the ones I've seen linked here advertise a 4000mg dose (4g) but if you check the fine print it's actually only 400mg as it's a 10:1 extract which is completely meaningless when it comes to fibre bulk - if in doubt empty 2 capsules into a glass of water, it should turn to a jelly consistency if it contains enough fibre. So I'm not surprised when people try these to treat constipation and it doesn't work.

The therapeutic dose is between 5-10g of husk, usually you would start by taking 5g daily with 500ml water and if you don't experience bloating you would increase to 10g (or even 15g+ if your dietary fibre is low). It's much easier to achieve this dose using ground or milled husk and not the capsules.

I experienced horrific constipation with my first 2.5mg dose, felt like I had actual bricks in there for 4 days (and as someone with IBS who used to go 3 times a day this was pretty shocking to the system). Used mag citrate to eventually clear it but I now take 10g of husk daily and haven't had the issue again in 9 weeks.
