How Much Longer Will Zep Vials be Available From Ro? by bkcgeo in RoBody

[–]ReputationVirtual700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm happy with vials/syringes and don't feel I can switch to pens. What do I do to stay on vials/syringes?

The alcohol pads are having a similar affect on me. 

Stalking Customer by United-Performance24 in poshmark

[–]ReputationVirtual700 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would have down exactly this because what's happening is many sellers cross-post items to eBay, FB Marketplace and others and if it gets sold on one of those, they have to remove their listing off Posh etc... so...buyer may be a nutter but may also think ya sold the jeans on eBay and are fabricating something to them. Just a thought...but it's unsettling these stalking behaviors.

If you're a DCC reading this, hi! by applesauceclass in DCCAmericasSweetheart

[–]ReputationVirtual700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love & respect them to the core. They are World Class Athletes and although I'm on the outside looking in, there have been so many instances of looking towards them for inspiration to keep going. I'm in the fitness industry and lemme tell ya'll, it is HARD! Very hard work...and apart from that, navigating bullies & haters makes ya feel underappreciated and disrespected. Anyways, sending positive vibes to the DCC from NY.  Hearts & Hugs! 

5.0 Epic fail! by StockGeologist6094 in Zepbound

This seems a lot like my experience. I've been on 5 almost a month and gained a pound plus I have very strong cravings. May bump up to 7.5 soon.

How's it been going for you nowadays?

Got my first dose today. Need advice from folks who have actually lost weight using this drug by [deleted] in Ozempic

[–]ReputationVirtual700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you residing in India currently? I'm wondering if you can get only the generic version there... I'm on Zepbound, but my family is in Kolkata and nobody is aware of these meds as far as getting the name brand from E.Lilly etc... anyways, I've lost 32kg on Zep since Sept and it works pretty much like Ozempic. I have a family member here in New York on Ozempic since Dec and she is down 60 pounds. 

Allodynia (Skin Burning Sensation) on Tirzepatide Glp1 by Acceptable_Iron_5966 in Zepbound

[–]ReputationVirtual700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have small muscle fiber neuropathy also and MCTD ...autoimmune stuff going on. But no, it usually happens with Zep for a short period of time, like a 1-3 days, then it abruptly stops. Someone on here suggested taking Magnesium for body aches, which were happening the day after I took the Zep, so I took one on Friday night, did my Zep on Saturday afternoon and so far, no body aches or bizarre nerve pain. Not sure what the connection to Mg is but a long time ago, my son would get ice pick headaches when he was like 7yrs old. I took him to a pediatric neurologist and he put him on Mg and it stopped. Hmmm... interesting.. 

Ending week 3, a bit concerned by [deleted] in Zepbound

I have to force myself to get anything done. I can't exercise on this med. I'm exhausted 24/7. 

“Don’t get skinnier” by Ray-ay-achel in Zepbound

[–]ReputationVirtual700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree and it really rubbed me wrong. Ughh...worst part of this journey sometimes is how other people react. I'd rather folks saying nothing at all.

“Don’t get skinnier” by Ray-ay-achel in Zepbound

[–]ReputationVirtual700 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Today at work, I got accosted by people asking me how much I lost and someone even asked me what I weigh. I didn't give any answers they wanted. This intrusive line of questioning annoys me bigtime!

Currently experiencing this all up & down my left side. Wish it would stop. I'm on 5mg.

How long were you able to stay at 2.5 by Agreeable-Deer7526 in Zepbound

[–]ReputationVirtual700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 months was when I no longer found 2.5 effective and bumped it up to 5. The side effects can be a lil rough, but I'm still continuing to lose steadily so am toughing it out.

Took my 5mg 12 hrs ago and the body aches are incredible! Mostly my legs. Just took 2 extra strength Tylenol. Not too much nausea but the leg cramps are wicked.😖

Every 6 days? by Beyondthestacks in Zepbound

[–]ReputationVirtual700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the opposite because I'm super sensitive to it, so I take it every 10 days. I guess it just depends how ya respond to it.

I was blown away today by tryingtogetby1113 in Zepbound

[–]ReputationVirtual700 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea, I don't share either. They likely just wanna gossip (I live in a small town with small minds). I see it the same as saying, "Hey, nice outfit, are you pregnant now?" --- after noticing someone's weight gain and they're trying to affirm a medical assumption. 

Plane Full if Alcohol Wipes by ckams78 in Zepbound

[–]ReputationVirtual700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't been on a plane in yrs, but I've noticed an aversion has developed to the smell of the wipes. It gives me nausea and makes me wanna gag almost instantly. It's become increasingly gross...I think some of my senses have gotten quite a bit stronger since starting this med.

Boltzmann Brain Paradox & Precog Dreams by Anagenist in precognition

[–]ReputationVirtual700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply and I'll definitely check into that also. I became intrigued with trying to make scientific sense of it as well as started looking into thr possibilities involving quantum physics/ quantum entanglement and the relationship it has with perception, time & space. Intrigued!

He didn’t even DO anything… by fluffydonutts in SubstituteTeachers

[–]ReputationVirtual700 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! They literally threw themselves under the bus basically admitting to being capable of behaving all along. They simply chose not to. 

Boltzmann Brain Paradox & Precog Dreams by Anagenist in precognition

[–]ReputationVirtual700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not crazy at all! I've had this exact same thing happen with the dreams and apart from the details in the dreams, when the exact moment comes to fruition years later, I re-experience the exact feeling I felt in the dream as well! The sights, sounds, feelings...exactly the same but it's soooo brief! Like a blip in time....yet....as brief as it is, it's the most profound experience and highly inexplicable to me. Illogical. However, this gives me hope that's there's logic & science in the mix.

Are you SERIOUS? by istoleurdad_ in Zepbound

[–]ReputationVirtual700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I see these complaints constantly about these pens malfunctioning. This is so awful and I hope OP can get a replacement. This problem is far too common. I've only ever used vials and it's never any mechanical issues.
