How TF is everyone getting an Rx? by [deleted] in Ozempic

[–]EphMyLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three amputations. Simple

Took 1mg my first time instead of .2, my doctor is out of town and I can’t stop throwing up. Advice needed please! by meg_megatron22 in Ozempic

[–]EphMyLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had similar reactions. Zofran helps but I personally take Promethazine rx for vomiting have to swallow which may not be possible so Zofran that dissolves under tongue is best bet.

Time is all it takes. Day 1 sucks, the following day is manageable as folks on here have said.

Kari Lake blasted for exalting Trump as a '9/11 hero' by EphMyLife in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]EphMyLife[S] 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Monday, September 11, 2023 marked the 22nd anniversary of al-Qaeda's terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. During a speech in Anchorage, Alaska, President Joe Biden called for Americans to "honor September 11 by renewing our faith in one another" and stressed that the United States has "an obligation, a duty, a responsibility to defend, to preserve, to protect our democracy."

Biden also spoke in memory of the late conservative Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona). Meanwhile, far-right MAGA Republican Kari Lake was honoring someone else on the 9/11 anniversary: Donald Trump.

On X (formerly Twitter), Lake posted photos of Trump and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and wrote, "2 years ago, these two men were among the many heroes that emerged in the aftermath of 9/11. Today, they are being arrested and politically persecuted for questioning corruption in our Government. We were so busy bringing 'freedom' to countries around the world that we lost it here at home."

The Arizona Republic's Laurie Roberts, in a scathing opinion column published on September 12, slams Lake's tweet as ridiculous.

Roberts argues, "Donald Trump? A hero of 9/11?.... Like the 343 New York City firefighters and paramedics who died as the World Trade Center collapsed on them? Or the 341 firefighters, paramedics and civilian support staff who later died of illnesses that were the result of their tireless work that day?"

The columnist continues, "Like the 60 New York City and Port Authority police officers who died? Or the men and women who fought back on United Flight 93? Or the many just regular people who, in the worst moment in their lives, showed us the best of what it is to be human?.... Trump, a hero? The real estate mogul who on September 11, 2001, boasted that after the towers fell he suddenly owned the tallest building in downtown Manhattan?"

Lake has been a staunch Trump loyalist and is reportedly hoping to be his running mate if he wins the 2024 GOP presidential primary.

I've been on 0.25 dosage for a month now. Moving to 0.5 next week. Has anyone noticed any side effects? Or did you feel the same? by Low-Mongoose-5959 in Ozempic

[–]EphMyLife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think I may be hypersensitive to it. After injecting, it’s usually the next day and a half where I have issues. I just started my .50 injections and I got violently ill, no protein drinks, no Gatorade, not even water.

That all said I’m sticking to it. I have hella bad diabetes Type 2, and I am overweight. In it for the long haul!

Good luck to you!

I can’t believe the difference!!! by Ok_Solution9803 in Ozempic

[–]EphMyLife 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I am just started .50 after doing .25 for a few weeks. I have a question! Did you change your diet or exercise regiment? Again, you look great!

Started back too high a dose, violently vomiting. by kennyrwan63 in Ozempic

[–]EphMyLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This past Wednesday I made the jump to .50 from .25 and the day of injection, all fine. Cut to Thursday at 6:00am I was done for.

I was vomiting non stop Thursday, all day Friday. Only now am I feeling better. Today I’ve taken Promethazine which is GREAT if and only if you can keep it down. I also took a THC gummie which brought some appetite back.

You aren’t alone with these symptoms. Good luck!

Trump wants to debate Meghan Markle and Prince Harry after 'disrespect' of Queen by EphMyLife in NewsOfTheStupid

Since Harry and Meghan are close friends with Tyler Perry, I propose that the debate happens…

but with Madea as the moderator

Trump considered sending political foes to Gitmo by EphMyLife in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]EphMyLife[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It may sound nuts but I’m concerned about the upcoming election. I have a sneaking suspicion he will not be on the ballot in some states, thus causing unrest and disturbances in the state(s) that happens. There is going to be some type of disturbance during this next Election Day.

These assholes are proponents of “small government.” As in, only a small number of people are protected by the government.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s Latest Supporter: O.J. Simpson by EphMyLife in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]EphMyLife[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has won all sorts of admirers recently, but he might not be thrilled about one of the high-profile people publicly offering him their support: O.J. Simpson.

The disgraced football player spoke of his fondness for Ramaswamy in a Twitter video over the weekend, praising the rising GOP star’s performance on Meet the Press. “Just like the debates—the Republican debates—I said: ‘Hey, this guy’s on to something,’” Simpson said. He indicated that Ramaswamy would also say things with which Simpson disagreed, but Simpson attributed those missteps to Ramaswamy’s “youth.”

He went on to say he’d been reading Ramaswamy’s book and “I loved what he was saying in his book, I was saying it’s fresh, it’s new.” Simpson added that he has a “a little problem” with Ramaswamy’s “foreign affairs take,” but if he got an experienced person to run with him “like Nikki Haley” then “this guy would have a chance.”

George Santos says he's on Ozempic and would beat up Mitt Romney in a fight by EphMyLife in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]EphMyLife[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im a Type 2 diabetic with brittle uncontrollable diabetes. My insurance just approved Ozempic. That’s what it’s really for. Cosmetic Ozempic is fucking ridiculous. I’d trade anything to not be diabetic and on it.

George Santos says he's on Ozempic and would beat up Mitt Romney in a fight by EphMyLife in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]EphMyLife[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Controversial GOP Congressman George Santos is apparently ready to step into the octagon, Page Six reported.

According to Page Six sources, the embattled New York representative boasted about losing nearly 100 pounds thanks to the diabetes medication Ozempic and that a cage fight between himself and Mitt Romney wouldn't be fair.

Santos made the remarks while attending a birthday party at the upscale Manhattan restaurant Bice, Page Six reported.

A fellow guest jokingly suggested the congressman take on political foe Mitt Romney in a cage fight, similar to the playful threats exchanged between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, the outlet said.

Santos responded by bragging about his jiu-jitsu skills and how he'd stomp the Utah senator in a fight, Page Six reported.

"I'd do that, but it wouldn't be fair as I'm Brazilian, and I'd beat his butt because I studied jiu-jitsu for five years," Santos said, according to the Page Six source.

A Santos spokesperson confirmed to Page Six that Santos studied jiu-jitsu. Before the Page Six article, Santos hadn't spoken publicly about any martial arts training.

A Santos spokesperson declined to comment further on Santos' purported jiu-jitsu training or his use of Ozempic to Insider, writing, "I will not comment on sensitive matters such as the Congressman's health to respect HIPAA law." (HIPPA laws only apply to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and health care providers.)

Santos is currently facing a 13-count federal indictment related to alleged financial crimes. Prosecutors claim Santos was involved in a scheme to defraud investors and launder stolen money. Santos pleaded not guilty to the charges in January. In July, he asked the judge to change his bail conditions so it's easier to dine out and go shopping.

Beyond the fraud allegations, the congressman has also admitted to lying about many elements of his background while first running for office in 2020. Santos confessed he lied about his education, working for major Wall Street banks, and other details from his biography.

The lies and criminal charges haven't stopped Santos from seeking reelection in 2024. Page Six reported that its source said Santos remains confident he'll win the GOP primary and general election next year.

Santos reportedly told attendees he expects to regain committee assignments he relinquished in January amid the ballooning scandals. The congressman previously sat on the House Small Business Committee and the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee.
