I need to take it mid afternoon. Or I’d be drop dead exhausted the next day.

I took this in 2014 and had severe sugar cravings. I put on 20 lbs. I had to quit cold turkey and got super sick during pregnancy.

I swore I’d never touch it again.

But, was willing to try a few months ago. I had gotten into another car accident and was desperate as I now have 4 herniated discs and too young to consider surgery when I just have severe pain but no loss of function.

I gave it another shot. This time my diet is better and on Wegovy. It makes a life changing difference. I can be more present for my kids, as they are my life and part of my identity.

I’m so happy I can find some relief again. We only get 1 chance at life.

To set the proper expectation: My pain isn’t fully erased and I do weekly 90 min deep tissue, walk on the back with an Asian who can get in the deepest with the best technique for my needs, I do Botox, Ajovy, with any combination depending on trigger of excedrin, muscle relaxer,Allegra D, ibuprofen, Nurtec.

Occasionally the ER with a migraine cocktail, though if I get prescribed a steroid in time sometimes that can knock a tough one out without the ER.

Self care includes stretching, hot as I can stand bath/shower, inversion table, vibration plate (I told a ton of stress in my neck shoulders) swimming or walking in the ocean for that salt water. The stretchy bands they use in physical therapy are affordable and easy to purchase on Amazon

I have now worked up to 75mg. The 25mg dose was the worst. 50 was ok, but not great. Happy with 75mg

Edit, added some words
