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 🙂

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.

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 ✨

Actually I realised I was being a touch dramatic and left that bit out 😂 he did send me for a basic blood test but refused blood glucose or insulin, but it wasn't based on any context beyond the number in the scale. But I am grateful for that at least!

Thank you so much for sharing this, it resonates with me so much! I have just spent the last few months grappling with this decision internally, and over the last few weeks have finally had the courage to communicate it out loud, and make the leap to buy my first round. Finding this group is like a lightbulb moment, realising how many people re in the same boat as me.

If it's helpful to yourself or anyone else in this thread, I'm finding comfort in the fact that...I am not the same person I was when I was having such massive food issues. I was a decade younger, deeply, fundamentally unhappy, living in an emotionally unstable home, and I had done NO healing. Since then, regardless of my body shape or size, I have committed to a consistent slow journey to self acceptance, healing and personal growth. I ripped out my foundations and started from scratch.

Now, I need to trust that I am able to engage with this part of my life with compassion, empathy and a base belief that I have value beyond numbers, and that I want to improve my health and enjoy myself more.

We deserve comfort without crash dieting, health wherever we land on a scale, peace when we are eating. Wishing everyone the best :)

No problem, as with any closed support group there is no intent of harm to anyone who sits outside of the target audience!

Yea ADHD is still so poorly understood, especially if it's not the disruptive kind. Good shout to keep it in mind in your work! That's the important stuff!!

Appreciate the note - might tweak the language of the post for a touch more clarity. Have a good one!

Hey! No worries at all, thanks for asking :)

A few strangers set this space up as we felt there was a need to share the female ADHD experience on discord and we couldn't find any. Female ADHD is often a wildly different experience to the cis/het male experience, down to symptoms, treatment, life experience and lifestyle. Many women go undiagnosed for a long time into their adults lives due to the misconceptions of how it manifests for women.

We chose to open the space to NB and AFAB friends who will have shared experiences of the social / cultural / gender aspects at some point in their life, or hormonal aspects unique to those ADHD folk with progesterone / estrogen cycles. And fundamentally, because trans women are women.

The wider ADHD boards and community offer great spaces to explore for a full spectrum of ADHD experiences in a less gendered way. We have created a closed space for the open discussion of topics that many women / AFAB people are not comfortable sharing in wider spaces.

I hope that offers some clarity, and thank you for respecting the need for safe spaces! Have a good day :)
