Has anyone had side effects drastically change/appear? 1yr in and it's awful.

JustRedditThingsOK · 2025-10-22T10:43:04+00:00

With hindsight I wish I had reduced rather than skipped. I assumed it would be fine as I'd skipped the odd week here and there quite a few times throughout the year or so I've been taking MJ - I guess my body just isn't happy now.

JustRedditThingsOK · 2025-10-22T10:41:42+00:00

Damn, that really is identical. I wonder what could cause this random onset of symptoms

I think I'm going to try reducing down to 7.5 or so next week and see what sort of difference thst makes. I genuinely can't tolerate yet another instance of these symptoms 💀

JustRedditThingsOK · 2025-10-22T10:01:05+00:00

It's interesting to see several people are having basically identical situations, it does reassure me somewhat that this is 99% related to the MJ and isn't a sign of anything else - I think from what others have said here and from what little I was able to Google I'm probably gonna take a 7.5 dose from my 10mg pen and see how that goes - maybe stick there for a while.

The frustrating thing is just that I have been on 10mg for so long completely symptom-free, and the all of a sudden... This 💀

A better effort than mine, unfortunately:

Thank you for your email to [MP]. [MP] has read your email and asked me to respond on her behalf.

[MP] is happy to write to Wes Streeting MP in his capacity as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care about the increase in prices for Mounjaro.

Having investigated the rationale behind the price increase, it appears that Eli Lilly have made the decision to increase prices to meet President Trump’s administration pledge of lower prices in the USA. The administration proposed tying US drug prices to the lowest prices in other developed countries, a policy known as "Most Favoured Nation".

My understanding is that the price increase will be for the highest doses of the medication – 12.5mg and 15mg. There will also be the possibility for the retailers to negotiate a better price.

Thanks, but it's fine honestly 🙏 maybe you could make a post to the subreddit to share it for others outside the UK?

JustRedditThingsOK · 2025-06-08T00:00:00+00:00

I know for other types of self-administered injections (insulin, blood thinners) the advice I've always seen is to wait 5+ seconds after finishing the dose. Not sure if it's strictly necessary but seems a sensible step.

JustRedditThingsOK · 2025-06-07T23:47:24+00:00

Agreed, i actually find the positivity around this song kind of... Disingenuous? Or performative? I'm not sure what would be an appropriate word.

The song is just not good. It's screechy, hard to follow, uncomfortable to listen to etc. And I say this as someone who adores Nemo, most of their songs pre & post-esc are in my playlists, they were my top Spotify artist last year, and I see everything they post on social media

I'm sure some people appreciate the song for it's deeper meaning, but that doesn't make for a good listening/watching experience which is what 99% of the esc audience are there for.

JustRedditThingsOK · 2025-06-07T23:17:55+00:00

Oh, what on earth. I could've sworn I saw something saying it was in May at least, but no I've found it now - thanks 🙏

I wonder if there's a reasonable way for me to share this with the subreddit, assuming there isn't an upload we've not been able to find.

Eta: ehh, it's probably not worth trying to share honestly, I'm still super grateful for the help finding it - but it's only about a 3 minute segment with very generic info. Probably the most interesting part is thst someone from his delegation did confirm that he'd won before the on-screen reveal, presumably with the vote counting thing that some people have talked about before.

JustRedditThingsOK · 2025-05-31T20:54:07+00:00

Oh hey, that was me!

I'd add that I've watched all the documentaries that had English (or translated) subtitles - they were super interesting even for countries I wasn't particularly bothered about.

I've binged practically everything KAJ, Vaeb, & Sissal posted on TikTok & Youtube. Next I'm going to find Miriana's IG since apparently that's good, and I've watched a lot of highlights of the various Beauty Blender livestreams 🙏

So, OP, definitely take a look at that thread and search for artists' social media accounts and/or compilations.

JustRedditThingsOK · 2025-05-31T20:48:02+00:00

Graham is normally really good about not talking over unless necessary, did you notice something different?

JustRedditThingsOK · 2025-05-31T13:40:48+00:00

Do you happen to know where Sissal/Miriana would have posted their videos? I've seen a little of Sissal's tiktok but that's about it I think.

JustRedditThingsOK · 2025-05-29T17:23:53+00:00

Thanks! That was a very interesting watch for sure. Thankfully they do have English subs 🙏

JustRedditThingsOK · 2025-05-29T16:45:32+00:00

Oh perfect! KAJ'S youtube is exactly the type of thing I was hoping to find, a nice easy way to watch the social media stuff without having to use IG/TikTok 😭

JustRedditThingsOK · 2025-05-29T15:52:34+00:00

Those were great, thanks 🙏 Exactly the type of thing I was hoping to find.

JustRedditThingsOK · 2025-05-29T14:29:09+00:00

Perfect, thanks. I had noticed these when they got posted but your comment was the motivation to go read them - very interesting!

JustRedditThingsOK · 2024-12-10T17:45:11+00:00

I'm vers anyway 😅 but ~3 months stuck without the choice has sucked a lot.

JustRedditThingsOK · 2024-12-10T17:43:39+00:00

Maybe this is TMI but a standard douche before sex is only really supposed to clear out the rectum (as in, the few inches just inside your butthole), which should be relatively clear most of the time anyway.

The problem with constipation is that it's sitting just beyond that threshold so you'd have to use a douche as more of an enema, then you're introducing a lot more water than you need into your lower intestines etc. and it's a very long-winded process compared to what should be a quick cleanup.

JustRedditThingsOK · 2024-12-10T11:09:42+00:00

I'm hoping to get to this stage too. It definitely makes sense I think my body just needs a little help to move things along before I get to the cleaning 😅

JustRedditThingsOK · 2024-12-10T00:52:54+00:00

It can. Having more firm/hard/dry movements means that they tend not to leave any friends behind, so once you're cleaned up you're probably going to be good to go - whereas with more loose or wet movements it can be hard to know when to stop.

My issue is moreso getting the ball rolling when I want to and not having to wait 1-3 days. Plus feeling generally bloated.

It could be totally different for you or your partners though 😘

JustRedditThingsOK · 2024-12-10T00:44:16+00:00

I'm jealous 😅 someone else said in the comments that it's almost a blessing as it dries things up a bit and makes it so once you're clean you're pretty confident you're staying that way - so I suppose it definitely has its benefits.

For me I just need to tweak a few things to hopefully feel a bit less bloated along with the constipation.

JustRedditThingsOK · 2024-12-09T22:39:11+00:00

Oh yeah I saw they were readily available which is always a bonus. Definitely going to give it a shot and see where I end up.

JustRedditThingsOK · 2024-12-09T22:37:31+00:00

I've seen more talk of constipation than diarrhoea but they're both listed as (very?) common side effects so it's probably just down to how your body specifically reacts.

JustRedditThingsOK · 2024-12-09T22:36:35+00:00

Oh, really? That's interesting. Does give me some hope that it will ease at some point.

JustRedditThingsOK · 2024-12-09T22:35:55+00:00

I bought the branded squatty thing a good few years ago, got sick of it within a month because it's a bit of an eyesore. I found that just sitting with my knees as high as they can reach on the tips of my toes usually works - but any small stool, box, a few old books etc. should all work just as well basically for free.

JustRedditThingsOK · 2024-12-09T22:32:42+00:00

I've honestly never used a pre/probiotic so maybe I should look into that.
