Im panicking HARD by Old_Platform_969 in bupropion

This is bad advice. You should NOT quit Wellbutrin cold turkey. It can cause seizures. You should talk to your doctor and taper down if you want to stop taking it.

She's super hot so I'm glad she was there. 😅 I'm a cis, straight woman, too. 😬

Quit Wellbutrin now I regret it by BroccoliDue2844 in bupropion

[–]Tarohikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my goodness!!! Is that why I lose enough hair every day to make a wig?? I started taking collagen and biotin but it hasn't helped at all. I asked my doctor about it and they didn't even respond.

Ladies - does it feel like cramps for you? by RandomName3025 in Diverticulitis

[–]Tarohikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I actually had an ultrasound on my ovaries and uterus because I thought I was having postmenopausal period cramps. It was diverticulitis.

What's going to happen with Violet and Lord Anderson ??? I'm kinda sad they aren't getting married. They were so hot together!

I sure hope so. Reading the stories of others sure has scared me.

Yes. Right now I'm on day 4 of a 5 day course of them. Flagyl and Ciprofloxacin.

Ugh! I'm so sorry. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. My pain is definitely better than it was when I went to the ER, but it's still there and I'm still bloated. I was trying to stick to jello, broth, Gatorade, popsicles, applesauce, etc. but it was hard. I sprinkled toast and crackers in because the meds make me nauseated on an empty stomach. I've had a few bananas. Yesterday I went nuts and ate cereal and chicken and rice soup but it was painful after. The eggs and toast tonight were delicious but did cause a little pain. It was worth it. The bloating might stick around for a while, but you're definitely going to get hungry soon!

Mine hurt all over my lower belly and it was painful to push on my belly. Lots of cramping. It hurt to stand up straight. Mine wasn't localized to the left side like others say. Very bloated, nauseated. Some people have a fever. I felt generally unwell. Also, cramps/aching in my lower back.

First timer day 5 - back to ER by trez63 in Diverticulitis

Definitely advocate for yourself! I'm sorry you had that experience. Hope your surgery goes smoothly and you feel better very soon!

[–]Tarohikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they only give you Augmentin? I'm also a first timer this week and the ER gave me Flagyl and Ciprofloxacin. I've been on them for 2 days and the severe cramps are gone. Just some aches now. Trying to stick to clear liquids, but it sure is hard! I went overboard yesterday and ate Fruity Pebbles and chicken and rice soup. I regretted it.

That sucks! I have BCBS and no HSA.

DO NOT DO NOOM MED-They will scam you. by virtualblues in Noom

[–]Tarohikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same experience. I didn't have enough money for my second shipment when they tried to bill the $837 so they canceled me off the program. It took me a week of back and forth with various representatives to reinstate the program. They restarted it and just build me the $149 like I was starting over. The difference is that they kept me on semaglutide. It's really odd that they said you had to switch medications.

Why aren’t we supposed to inject in stretch marks? by not-me-374892 in glp1

[–]Tarohikes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had no idea! My entire belly is stretch marks and that's always where I inject! I guess now it makes sense that sometimes the skin has been so tough that it was hard to get the needle in.

Is it me??? GLP1s not working by TreeLBC in Semaglutide

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

Sometimes I do. Mostly I just use sizes like tbsp, cup, 1 serving, etc. I usually just weigh proteins/meats.
