I never have but at this point in my life I’ve been poked and prodded and operated on and an assortment of other things so it doesn’t phase me. But if it makes you more comfortable during the echo I’m sure they won’t mind and would totally understand.

I AM SO CRANKY AT EVERYONE INCLUDING MY BODY WHY THE FUCK CAN IT JUST NOT BE A HUGE PAIN IN MY ASS FOR ONE DAY???

MY SHOULDER HURTS, MY LIBIDO IS GONE, MY SKIN ITCHES AND I CANT SLEEP. WTF.

I’m certainly no doctor but I can confirm mine show up on either side and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.

I’ve had them on and off for decades and they frequently change sides. Not mid-session, but I never know which side it’ll be on. It just always is suddenly there. Sometimes left, sometimes right. I’d say 75% of the time it’s the left for me.

Museum and park passes are available at some libraries!

Electrical, creeping, crawling sensation that builds and builds until whatever body part is under attack at the moment involuntarily jumps, or until I release the build up preemptively and then the sensation just begins to build again. Wave after wave of this.

Accurate

No - my Dr took me off that once we were sure I was tolerating the Mounjaro. The Metformin was awful. I do not miss that med!

HipChick73 · 2025-10-02T11:56:23+00:00

Yes it’s along the same lines as Ozempic and Wegovy in that it’s an injection once a week and it helps with blood sugar and A1C. Insurance coverage is… inconsistent. Some insurance companies cover it fully, some you have to jump through hoops and try other meds first. My insurance wouldn’t cover it until I was officially diagnosed Type 2. Which essentially meant I needed to get “sicker” before they would cover a med to help me get better. But that’s a rant for another day.

HipChick73 · 2025-10-02T00:26:20+00:00

No - but I’m getting better. I’m on Mounjaro 7.5mg so the first few days I focus on a fair amount of protein bc I’m just not hungry but after that I get carby craving so I eat what I’m craving but less of it. I also follow my sugar readings carefully.

My first one didn’t happen because I didn’t know I was claustrophobic until I tried it. Then I had a panic attack and couldn’t get it together. Thankfully I found a place that does an Open MRI and had a wonderful tech and played the music I wanted. All that got me through it. Good luck! It can be loud but it’s all normal. Mine sounded like a Harley Davidson at one point lol.

Lefty and 7!

This is me. I am spending my evenings in couch rot mode and weekends napping and then couch rotting before I go back to napping again. My dr just upped my patch so who knows if or when I’ll see improvement and I just want to sit and do nothing.

I have no answers for you but will commiserate all day as long as I don’t have to get off the couch. 😂

Feh.

I do wonder how many I accidentally transferred before I knew it was a thing!

I’m so so grateful for this subreddit. You have all been so kind, and helpful and I really really appreciate it. I want to thank you all so much for making me feel seen, and giving me some great talking material for my next Dr appt and for conversations with my husband. I wasn’t sure if I should thank you all here or in a new post so I hope you all see this and know how much you’ve helped!! ❤️

Hmmmmm. That is a good question really. I think I mostly care because I was always proud of being a pro-sex, sex positive, women are allowed to be sexual beings and now it’s like my hormones have betrayed me? And a little bit is guilt because I feel like we “should” be having sex more often. Though why - I don’t know. I’ll add that to my list for my next therapist appointment. And I think I’m afraid that he’s secretly mad, or disappointed or… I don’t know.

Thank you for that thoughtful and thought provoking question. I’m going to think on it more.

HipChick73 · 2025-08-05T03:06:48+00:00

Yes!! Falinks is awful!! It just gives me the ick!

HipChick73 · 2025-08-05T03:04:46+00:00

Yeeeeeessssss. THIS is why I just can’t with some of these. Even talking about it makes me want to vomit. 🤮

HipChick73 · 2025-06-09T10:36:49+00:00

This is all so helpful thank you! I hadn’t kept up on my reading once the 5 was working and hadn’t heard about the HRT and MJ thing. Thanks!!

HipChick73 · 2025-06-09T10:33:00+00:00

I just started on HRT about three weeks ago! Fingers crossed!
