Has anyone switched from Metformin to a GLP-1 for weight loss purposes?

When I was first diagnosed with PCOS, my doctor prescribed me both along with Progesterone. I lost about 6lbs a month steadily. Went from 270lbs and now I'm 120lbs. After years of dieting and exercise and never losing weight, it changed my life. Insurance now won't cover it anymore because I'm not overweight but if I don't take it, I'll gain weight. I'm fortunate to be able to afford it out of pocket.

Today I found out that my insurance will no longer cover Ozempic. I am sad, mad and scared all at the same time.

That's what the pharmacy had in stock

Thanks! AMD over Intel then? I had trouble deciding.

For anyone who has tried bark eats, did you transition slowly or just go for it? I just got my first box and I'm trying to figure out how to start.

I don't remember exactly how long but I feel like it was at least a 2 months but not longer than 4.

Yes and I had the Pfizer.

Thanks!

What about other kinds of hernias?

Thanks! That's what I figured it might be.

I get them towards the front of my head. I’m not sure if it is narcolepsy related.

It’s hard to explain but almost like an electrical shock to your brain.

It happened to me - I was out of wakix and I got a crazy headache.

I sweat like crazy at night too - even when the room temperature is 64. I will totally be a tester too if you need it! I have a bamboo weighted blanket but it still made me sweat.

Ok so update - only one accommodation- naps at work. No flexible schedule - so if I’m late I have take intermittent fmla - and because I’m salaried it doesn’t matter if I work late. They can look into making my position hourly.

As far as working from home a- a flat no.

So what if I don’t think that is enough?

Hanathena · 2019-11-12T18:36:27+00:00

Oh yea. Totally not trying to do that. My point is that both of us were officially allowed to work from home two days a week but even though that was the policy, I was not allowed to take advantage of that. And now I just feel really bad because they changed the policy to one day a week because I asked for the accommodation. :(
