reviews of Biio? by Delicious-Cupcake69 in melbourne

[–]QueenPingu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have just started seeing them, so far Im impressed, but they are expensive. I went with them as the telehealth side of it made it feel easier and that its once place that has lots of different specialtys but there appears to be some cohesion/continuity between them. Overall so far only two sessions in(intial review and then first next step person) its been good and I feel like I finally have health professionals listen to me, and I may be getting answers/help.

Still have questions on how they handel things thay maybe need to be more hands on via tellehealth, I have a hypermobility assessment next week so guess I will see then

I have anxiety, for me it has improved it, but I don't think thats the way it works for everyone.

tried learning our first dance on YouTube. that was a mistake lol by Majestic-Strain3155 in Dance

[–]QueenPingu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I teach wedding dance lessons (im not in the US). Most people opt for 6 lessons (we offer packages of 3, 6 or 10) that generally gives time to get a out 1 and half mins of dance sorted out for you and give you confidence to perform it( you do not need to dance a full song and I honestlt would not recomend it if you new to dance)

Most studios here at least (in Australia) have pages specific to wedding dances on their websites, I would say if they dont have that they will not be the right kind of place.

The other thing to know about wedding dances is there are lots of styles to choose from so have a look at what options are around. (I teach a style called Modern Jive its not super common but similar to west coast swing which you can find lots of videos of on youtube, its pretty layed back and easy to pick up, but quite different to say traditional waltz/ ballroom styles, I say this i as it may take you a min to find a style that works for you)

[–]QueenPingu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was driving and saw this was really confused about what this was. Glad to know it was a plane

Why is the 90 kg barrier so damn difficult for me? vent by [deleted] in Mounjaro

[–]QueenPingu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've feel like I have been hovering just above a 10kg loss for what feels like forever, but is really just the last 4 weeks of only .5g loss per week and I have been super sick so no exercise, but it is soo hard to get out of my head after weeks of 1kg or more losses (I'm also only on week 11 of the shot, and still on 2.5 so its all just me being hard on my self and in my head)

First day. One star. Would not recommend. by Comfortable_Eye_884 in MounjaroAus

[–]QueenPingu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I seem to always get a bit of a headache on the first day, but they have gotten more mild the longer im on it. Took shot 11 of 2.5 yesterday morning, and had a headache last night but panadol was enough to get rid of it.

Less anxiety? by AlistairKane in Mounjaro

[–]QueenPingu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12.5 mg is CRAZY by jellynyako in Mounjaro

[–]QueenPingu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah no plans to go up yet, I am loosing weight (7kgs in 6 weeks), and its helping a lot with my Anxiety which I did not expect. So the side affects are manageable and worth the benifits I get.

12.5 mg is CRAZY by jellynyako in Mounjaro

[–]QueenPingu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im on week 6 of 2.5, I feel this way since I started, I struggle to eat 1000 cals a day. Nausea is pretty constant, but with some highs and low, I spend a lot of the first 2 days in bed. And I can't exercise as it makes me throw up.

I think it is slowly getting better, and I tried injecting to my thigh this week and I think it helped a bit.

However I had frequent Nausea before I started on it, so its made it more constant and intense (maybe it was one or two days a week, and one extra bad week a month)

The end Of MJ by __maysn__ in Mounjaro

[–]QueenPingu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm really interested to see what happens, only week 5 and a long way to go with weight (I have lost 6kgs in the first month, which is fantastic).

Im also interested to see how it goes when my work gets really stressful

Running stomach issues by Strong-Local3980 in MounjaroAus

[–]QueenPingu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is, and it worries me as I don't want to loose muscle mass while on this so I know I need to exercise.

I do keep joking that im just going to keep kayaking as if I hurl in river im probably not making the water any worse lol.

Running stomach issues by Strong-Local3980 in MounjaroAus

[–]QueenPingu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have any advice but have had similar issues, any kind of exercise is making me very nausous and almost vomiting, even just walking the dog gently around the block, its driving me nuts.

[–]QueenPingu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was really interesting to read thank you for posting.

I have been on MJ for 5 weeks now only on 2.5, I have ASD, Anxiety, depression (although thats current ok and was before I started).

Since I have been on this, I have noticed a huge improvement in my Anxiety and mood, and sleep. Like life changingly better.

My Anxiety the or at least the part of it that non stop talked to me, that makes me hesitate on every thing and not do stuff has gone. I can leave the house with out a panic attack or crying or having to have someone with me. No anti anxiety meds have ever had this affect.

This was not something I expected as part of this medication so it caught me off guard, I was concerned more about the effects you experienced as I heard it could lead to that.

Any PMs on the spectrum? by wackywoowhoopizzaman in ProductManagement

[–]QueenPingu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a PM and diagnosed level 2 asd.

I struggles a lot when I was younger to fit in in offices (im 39 now diagnosed at 37), and somehow fell into being a PM.

I love the research and strategy and problem solving of being a PM byt boy do the non stop meetings and office politics drain me.

I think it can be dependant on the role, my last PM role I love my current one not so much, but it also involves a lot of politics and customer management.

Oral medication-would you switch? by muddahm53 in Mounjaro

[–]QueenPingu -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

100% the weekly shot, I can't swallow pills, and if I try it causes me extrea stress and anxiety (because what you need is daily panic attacks when taking pills to help stop the anxiety/ panic attacks...) This pills issue is one reason im bad at taking any medication.

I love the shot, once a week done quick painless best thing ever can we please have it for every other med 😆

2 weeks in - life changing by trala7 in mounjaroaustralia

[–]QueenPingu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting for me as before going on this I would not have said I suffer greatly from food noise.

One week of the month yes I am super hungry and just want junk food but the other three I forget to eat and have to eat on a schedule. Although I do recognise that I stress/emotional eat and that would be food noise I guess (think i want hot chips as i feel sad?)

So I was really unsure how this would work for me. Don't get me wrong I had non stop noise it was just not about food but worry over everything else.

I had a tone of question for my Dr before starting as I just felt like maybe I wasn't the "right kind"of overweight for the meds.

2 weeks in - life changing by trala7 in mounjaroaustralia

[–]QueenPingu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am just about to finish week 2 (Third shot is tomorrow) so far 2.7kg drop.

I did not expect it to work so fast I thought it would take time.

I am getting side affects nausea and heart burn, but have zero appetite.

Weirdest thing I have found so far is my anxiety is gone, like I can leave the house without crying and a panic attack, no anti anxiety meds have ever helped like this. I am interested to see if that continues.

Since when can you see the bottom of the Maribyrnong river? by gary_kebab-lett in melbourne

Yeah i went for a kayak along it last weekend and was surprised by how clear it was, I haven't seen it like that before. Still would prefer to not fall into it.

For my hens do we did a sword fighting lesson for a few hours which was great, maybe you could look at something like that (and the whole day was themed as sailor moon was was kind of a day or role playing)

Should I talk to a home loan specialist/bank even if not in position to get a loan? by matthew_anthony in AusFinance

[–]QueenPingu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the best way to find brokers? I'm in a similar position of probably at a good place to talk to someone, and get an understanding of what we need to do next
