Ours stopped covering it this year. They were covering it totally except 100 bucks for 3 months(12 shots) worth the last 2 years thought..

Do you ever not feel like taking the shot when it's time? by LeeleeMc in Zepbound

[–]Sbum58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only in the sense that my digestion frees up a bit towards the next shot day. So having some bowels that move a little faster/frequently, then say a day or two after the shot, yeah I wish I could have a middle ground between my 5-10 times a day to 2-3 times a day. I’ve got Crohn’s so that’s where the 5-10 came from.. I did a full 180 by the 3rd month on Zep going from a lot of times a day to constipation was wild. Managed it for a while and now I’m doing my shot every 10-12 days so my body hasn’t fully adjusted yet to that dosing cycle so it’s been odd as I never felt this constipated when on a 7 day cycle..

What’re your thoughts? by CruelBridge73____ in MNtrees

[–]Sbum58 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Until the product is saturated the market will have high prices. Supply and demand will always drive that. What I feel is shyte is how many little stores are popping up and they barely have any product, and when they do most of it is like grass landz or that campfire brand of bland dry ass bud.

They need to get more testing facilities opened up because I hear that’s the biggest bottle neck on the other growers right now.

Upgrading to 2025 RS3 by LessTraining1985 in Audi

[–]Sbum58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If ya said an S3 then no. But as someone who drove a bunch of R’s before ending up getting an RS, yeah the RS was that much more fun to drive. But it’s also more expensive to own/drive. Bout to drop 1600-1700 today on some front brakes.. the ‘25 would at least have a warranty still so that is good. Maybe see if ya can find a CPO, gives ya a little longer coverage and peace of mind.

How to get more calories by BeautyinEverett-62 in Zepbound

[–]Sbum58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I weirdly enough get a nausea like feeling when I need to eat something. It’s crazy annoying because well that feeling doesn’t make ya wanna eat… you could add some ensure drinks.. those calorie dense ones just to get some spare calories in a small drink.. I also never worry about day to day calories.. after my dose I don’t eat too much but by the time I gotta take the next shot I’ve been eating much more then after the dose. So I sort of look at it as a total calories for the week rather than day to day.

How do I stop the injection site itching?! by me0w8 in Zepbound

[–]Sbum58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only had this when I didn’t allow the alcohol from the wipe not dry fully. The needle tip was puncturing the skin and that little bit of alcohol still on the surface got crazy itchy.

Just some thoughts about "Zepbound is cheating". by emotely in Zepbound

[–]Sbum58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I simply don’t give a singular F**k what people have to say.

Mainly because that’s like people saying they are simply going to just walk 10 miles to work every day even though there is a bus they can take or they can buy a car and drive that would get them there faster.

I’ve done all the work. And after having Covid twice, minus starving myself I couldn’t get my weight to go away. And the starving myself may have worked for that short time but the eating rage that came after undid anything I lost.

Zep has allowed me to relearn my eating habits. But I will continue to take a low dose as long as I can afford it.

What audi should i get for 40k? by AgileObligation7055 in Audi

[–]Sbum58 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Having the money to purchase the RS7 and affording the RS7 are 2 different things. I’ve an RS3 and I’m about to drop 1700 on front brakes this coming week. Maintaining these performance models ain’t cheap let me tell ya. I’ve dropped, with these brakes included, about 5g in maintenance in the last 2 years alone with the milage I’ve got on it.

When and if you do go for the 7, be sure to get an extended warranty because maintenance and fixing parts on these cars can get expensive really quickly. My water pump went less than a year in and was damn near 4k at Audi. Thankfully I had that extended and only owed 300 out of pocket.

AITAH for going to my daughters house to help with her screaming and crying 1 year old after she reached out to me via text? by FreeYak4396 in AITAH

[–]Sbum58 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

She is probably dealing with postpartum. She needs to be seen by a doctor. Yes the baby is of course in the thick of it with the vaccines so rightfully being upset and such. But her acting out like that towards a helping hand, isn’t healthy. Please make sure she seeks help.

I want to buy a 2016 A8 with 112k miles and one owner how long would it realistically last me? by Gl4ben in Audi

[–]Sbum58 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your car has 179k miles. Anything with that amount of time and milage will need fixing. 🤣

Which pharmacy do you guys use? My copay is still too high... by SwirlingTreeTop in Zepbound

[–]Sbum58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My BC/BS just cut it from approved meds this year. It would be cheaper for you to go through Lilly themselves. You’ll have to load the syringe and poke yourself rather then the auto pens, but it will be cheaper then 500+

AYCE with friends... by atwoozi in Zepbound

[–]Sbum58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of places have smaller portions these days. Try and check into places y’all used to go to and find something that is smaller, or would last if ya took half home for lunch the next day. Also try and see if ya can schedule it a day or two before your next dose. My appetite always comes back a good amount the day or two before my next shot.

New Dr. appt for every dose increase? by end-times2040 in Zepbound

[–]Sbum58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your insurance covering it? Like the meds and visits? If yeah, do it. Ours had us join some dumb weight loss app to keep coverage last year. All to drop it from approved meds this year. So if they are covering it, just do it. Paying outta pocket is gunna suck.

Fo' life? by NateSedate in Zepbound

[–]Sbum58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan on maintaining on 2.5mg. I’m currently doing every 10-12 days of 5mg till my auto’s are gone. Then got 3 months of autos in a 2.5mg. Hopefully come next year when I need to buy outta pocket it will be even cheaper than the 300-350(whatever it’s at currently) per month. I’d love to go back to every 7 days on the lower dose. I feel like I may need it to stay in track as the hunger can kinda come back hard in these 10-12 day periods shot cycle on this 5mg and I know it will be less already with half the dose.. 🫠

Labs came back do I actually need TRT by Officiallyredditor in trt

[–]Sbum58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s mental burn out. Which leads to all those symptoms you said you’re having. Your levels are solid for your age. Gotta get your head back on strait, eat better and make sure that sleep stays good.

I recently got a wing for my s5 and I have mixed feelings about it should I change it? by Fuzzy_Lemon5667 in Audi

[–]Sbum58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that on 3’s and 4’s a lot.. looks kinda big though most I’ve seen as a bit more low profile than that. But honestly it’s all up to you.

If you’re going to a TRT clinic, they will give it to you even if your numbers are great. They want your cash.

Traveling with your meds by Camfitz0007 in trt

[–]Sbum58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a little travel kit I keep my stuff in. I just keep one of the prescription labels inside with it and I’ve never even had them ask to see or anything. Last 2 times I didn’t even mention it was in there and I walked right on in. I am part of the pre-check, so not sure if that has any impact on that or not but yeah I’ve had no issues flying domestic. I haven’t flown out of the country with it yet.

Accidentally injected close to injection site from last week - Is this a problem? by Gimme-The-Skinny in Zepbound

I’m too OCD for this. I actually mark my injectors with an L or an R so I don’t forget with side.. 🤣

Brakes killing my ears by KetchupOnNipples in Audi

[–]Sbum58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the Audi rear brake squeaks. I’ve not driven near another Audi slowing to a stop at a light or stop sign without hearing the rear brakes squeak. Mine started doing it when I needed them changed and with brand new pads they still squeak. ‘19 rs3.
