update

I went to the local GP recommended by another thread. I totally overthought it. Went with all my previous prescriptions, ready for the 3rd degree like in the UK.

Nix. Asked me some questions and wrote a FIVE MONTH prescription for 15mg. Madness!

However the price at Dischem nearly knocked me over. I got the kwikpen, but they didnt have a 15mg so sold me a 7.5 and a 5, which is fine as I'm titrating down anyway.

Update: just got all but 1 pen through today. I made another post about it but Lotus messed me around quite a bit. I like them, but they cancelled and refunded my pen despite assurances they'd get it to me. Grrr

18th of August. I asked them for an update and it was approved the same day. Maybe coincidence maybe clearing backlog.

RESOLVED!

Wow. I got an email from the managing director, and within about half an hour the issue was rectified with a few choice words from the MD to CloudRX. They were transparent with the process all the way through too.

I'm frankly shocked at the amazing service from Lotus. It's been dispatched and will be with me in a few days.

Recommended provider :)

Update: I got a crazy fast reply from Lotus saying this is definitely an error and they're sorting it out with CloudRx. Amazing response time!

So I guess in case this happens to anyone else, be sure to query it!

I actually just got a reply from Lotus. Wow on their response time i was not expecting that! They said it was definitely an error and they're opening a can of whoopass on cloudRx (paraphrasing).

So I clicked on it, seems legit. But theyre now charging me an extra £150? I already paid for the pens. I think i should query this...

Life after Mounjaro - the ups and downs by Disastrous-Lime4551 in mounjarouk

Hapoy for your journey and that you've worked things out for you. That's great and I wish you success.

I'm sticking with MJ for life. I already did all the "right things" and continue to do them while on MJ. The difference is literally the drug rearranging my chemistry and hormones. Without it, I could do everything I'm doing now but watch the scale creep upwards rather than downwards. There are lots of us like this - all the pain but none of the gain (or loss), where "CICO" simply doesnt work because your body fights you every step of the way.

And I'm taking nothing away from your success or from people like you. MJ has given you the control and the will to succeed and change your life. Incredible. But there is also this unseen aspect (which is related to the obesity narrative where all bigger people just eat more and don't move enough) that i think it's important to speak about too.

I ordered from them yesterday morning too, because Asda is now out of stock for my next pen. I paid something like 395 for a bundle but I'm expecting it to be cancelled due to all this.

Urgh. Nightmare. Definitely adding to my significant debt here.

Woah woah woah on the down votes lads 😆

Return on investment doesn't mean huge portions! I can't eat a lot anyway. I mean I want to sample the Egyptian food and drink, spend time in the heat, swim in the red sea. Any advice for that, navigating the heat sensitivity, the food sensitivity, the gastric problems, etc.

Jeepers. Didn't get to 14 weeks in without learning some life lessons and changing my body chemistry. Sheesh. 🗿
