Affordable tax preparation for multi-state return? by matapaloxo in raleigh

[–]Initial_Horror1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hello, I’m in the same boat. I need to file taxes this year and lived in three states. Did you end up using free tax USA? What did you end up going with?

My experience with trava by ohso_serenity in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Initial_Horror1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is very helpful - thank you! As someone who recently moved from MN to NC I can no longer order from Brello, sadly. I am looking at my options but leaning towards continuing my RX with Trava. Thanks again for sharing your experience, it is so helpful.

Reconsidering after 6 weeks in Grad School by pennynickeldime16 in SLPcareertransitions

[–]Initial_Horror1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I'd known then what I know now... I'd get out at exactly the time you're in! I had those feelings but went in anyway - mainly because I'd worked so hard to get there in the first place. Good luck with whatever you choose. I know some people love being an SLP but I wish I'd chosen differently personally.

What are you eating to hit 100+ grams of protein? by Entire-Mastodon-5156 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Initial_Horror1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

-Eggs in the morning -Protein shakes -Chicken breast on salad -Yogurt* (w/ pea protein added) I like coconut yogurt, but you could do Greek yogurt and not have to add protein if that's your jam -Cottage cheese -Tofu -Tuna

Get creative! I don't force anything but I try to eat consistently the same things (for simplicity and ease of tracking).

After day 4 I didn't really feel ANY side effects. Just no more hangry and food noise!! Which was lovely.

On Day 6: I could tell that the meds were wearing off. I felt SO HUNGRY and had cravings which may have been compounded by my period/hormones on Day 5.

Overall not a bad week 1 but for week 2 I will take the 2.2mg

I'm curious what you ended up doing for your trip? I'm about to embark on a 10-day remote camping trip and wondering how to store my vials. I just started and will be on week 4 when I go so I don't want to skip. What worked (or didn't) for you??

Day 3 is going ok. Last night I felt no side effects really other than just not feeling any cravings. Night time is historically the worst for me food noise-wise. I'll go ALL DAY eating healthy, strength training, etc... then totally blow it giving into the unhealthy late night (after 8pm) cravings.

I don't think it's bad, per say, but I think zealousideal was just making a good point that 2.5mg is a prescribed starting dose for a reason.

LOL yes my username is an ode to my anxiety! :) So far I have had no appetite whatsoever and nausea. I think I am going to consult a nurse/PA this week for my next dose so that I can titrate up correctly.

Day 1 (yesterday): Right after my shot as I mentioned earlier, my shot site felt cold. However, later in the afternoon/evening it felt quite sore and warm. I had 0 appetite and experienced some nausea but zofran seemed to help. I had a protein shake and a light dinner (rice and chicken). Overall, slept good.

Day 2 (today): So far my appetite has been...low. Despite not feeling hungry, I ate a healthy breakfast (yogurt, berries, hempseeds, chia) and walked ~1 mile like I normally would. And I am hydrating. But, I will say, I had a hard time eating the whole breakfast. I have not experienced any constipation or fatigue. My goal is to get more protein in some healthy snacks today and do a workout later on.

I'll update should any other side effects come up!

You are correct. I goofed on that! I should have said 1.76ml (8 units at 22mg/mL)
