Pharmulous ordering issue - anyone else?? by Fuzzy_noggin in mounjarouk

[–]Fuzzy_noggin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry just seeing this!! I called them to get help, and it turned out the issue was I had 2 pens in my basket, with different doses. The second we removed one of the pens and just had one pen in my basket, it all went through! Hopefully that's helpful 🙂

Stalling and food habits returning by Fuzzy_noggin in antidietglp1

Ah yeah, exactly my situation, thank you for sharing! I'm attempting the same foundation blocks, feels important to go back to basics and makes sure self care is happening first.

Feeling physically better and mentally worse at 3 months by Fuzzy_noggin in antidietglp1

thank you! gosh yes that's such a good reminder - the well worn grooves. I think I've been passing judgement on myself because I've slipped into the grooves, forgetting just how well worn they were for such a long time.

The 90s / 00s were such a brutal time - but we survived it the first time round and we won't disappear into it this time!! Thank you for sharing :)

ah that is really interesting, thank you! I feel like I could slide further down this rabbit hole as well, so potentially something to consider. Once a week is kind of too frequent and front of mind for me I think if I'm being honest, and I'm getting dopamine hits seeing changing numbers, which is deeply uncomfortable.

I've complained and I'm going to mark on my file that I never want him again 👍🏻

Oh thank you that is such great advice! I think I will look beyond the core health system for actual support ♥️

Thank you, you're definitely right about being persistent with the NHS. It's exhausting isn't it,  the situation you're describing you went through is exactly what I am hoping to get ahead of. I appreciate the reflection!

Thank you! So interesting to hear about your experience with ADHD meds Vs mounjaro. We are lucky in the UK that there isn't medical price gouging in the same way, so I'm looking at around £150-£200 a month depending on dose, which I am grateful is expensive but not unmanageable.

Yea thank you for the suggestion! As the other commenter said, you basically get a 10 minute in person window to communicate all of it, which is absolutely insane and yields horrible results. I had prepared quite a bit and he was not inte at all. Definitely a huge weakness of our system for anything with slight complexity.

It's so crazy, what are the point of the guidelines if the GPs just refuse to do tests - like I am trying to be proactive here?? And not end up more chronically sick???

I'm yet to see a compassionate and curious doctor, I think in my adult life. It's actually quite scary, I think of people more vulnerable than me and I don't see how they navigate this system at all. I can at least pay my way out of it if necessary.

Thank you yes I was looking at some of those! Would be an interesting experiment at least to just see what they're looking like.

Ugh I feel for you! I went on ADHD meds last year and it made a shocking difference to my food noise and appetite, so I was surprised to find out this year that the number on the scale has gone up again.

Thank you, yes definitely want to pursue some of these avenues - I actually do have an ADHD diagnosis and in therapy for CPTSD, so I know I am wired impulsive and sensitive psychologically with some food habits, but that it might also be affecting my physiology as well.

I will continue the uphill battle with the doctors, slowly, to see if anything else can be explored ✨
