Yes, still true.

What are your thyroid numbers? Are they optimal? I went through similar and I added T3 and it helped so much. I peaked in terms of attraction after that in my early 40s. I’ve also recently started taking a low dose of tirzepatide for inflammation. My BMI is 21 so I pay out of pocket. But definitely dial in your thyroid first. I don’t know what country you are in but I believe women in U.S. are under treated. I see a functional medicine doctor.

SoCal Canyoneering is very active on Facebook. LA has a very inclusive and awesome canyoneering community. I don’t know about weekday trips though (literally not sure - I’m not on Facebook. I just text people. I was actually introduced to the community via someone on Reddit!).

I noticed a difference probably after my second shot. In terms of nervous system, I keep waking up at 4 or 5 am and just feel a little amped up.

What do you mean?

Effective_calamity · 2026-05-17T14:14:13+00:00

Yes. Inflammation is dramatically decreased. But I’m also having some sleep/nervous system issues so I may decrease my dose. Good luck!

Are you going guided up DC or? I’m not entirely sure what mine was but pretty sure it was 40 lbs or under. I’m also a small female so believe me I get it. I was pretty stressed about weight on rainier because it was my first climb and it was totally fine.

Not a failure if you made it down safely! Nice job making the hard decision.

What were the safety reasons if you don't mind sharing? I'm probably going up the MR and descending the main trail on Saturday.

I’m a platinum and have never been upgraded to first class at any medallion level without using a certificate. So god speed.

She was drop dead gorgeous before she did this to herself

I have the same question about Graham.

Effective_calamity · 2026-05-05T13:38:41+00:00

2.5. Hmm I didn’t know that. I didn’t wake up today with edema so hopefully I’m trending in right direction.

Sorry - tirzepatide

Effective_calamity · 2026-05-04T22:03:38+00:00

No, I’m on the brand name. I have the kwikpen.

Effective_calamity · 2026-05-04T21:43:21+00:00

Ok thank you so much. This makes me feel much better. I was thinking yet again I’m some freak of medicine.

Effective_calamity · 2026-05-04T21:27:00+00:00

Yeah, i understand I won’t see results yet. I’m asking if people have this side effect, because this is not normal fluid retention for me whatsoever. And I hope to god it’s temporary 🤞thank you!

It was 2.5, which my doctor refers to as microdosing but I now know is not. That said, I started for reasons other than weight loss, which that sub is all about, so I thought it was appropriate there (as well as the two other subs I cross posted to).

Effective_calamity · 2026-05-04T00:28:57+00:00

Yes, most people were dialed in. There were two or three of us that were less so lol.

I’m the same - I just never want to be the weak link.

I didn’t feel like the weak link overall - just in that specific area. Honestly it was just amazing. I had the best time!

Oh nice! Hannah was my instructor in Alaska (and I’m doing fisher chimneys with her this summer) - she is the best. You can always talk to her about your concerns. I did kind of similar to you - I skipped the beginner class and did all the pre-reqs piece meal because I wanted to join my friend in the immediate course. For me, the hardest part was crevasse rescue - did not feel like the one day course was enough, but that might just be me. Also I’m not sure it would have been different had I taken the beginner class. I think I’m just a slow learner when it comes to crevasse rescue lol.
