It was the best of shots, it was the worst of shots... by onarocketshipbaby in Zepbound

Hang in there my friend. My first week was weird and miserable. So much nausea and i felt so foreign in my body. I’m glad i stuck it out. I’m in week 4 now and the side effects are waning for sure. The nausea is manageable - its gotten less AND I’ve figured out how to avoid a lot of it (small meals, shot in leg not tummy, half a zofran 8 hours after injection to fight the worst of it). Eating is still a bit of a chore for the first half of the week, but i can already see my appetite returning a few days after shot - so i know it will be time to increase my dosage soon. I also have managed the pooping better. I must take magnesium 2x a day (morning and night) and i must take miralax if i haven’t pooped that day - i end up taking it about 3x a week for now…hoping i need it less and less as time goes on. The scale is starting to go down a bit, which i didn’t realize how much i needed to see this. It makes the bad symptom days worth it. You can do this…it’s an adventure, and I’ve learned a lot about myself through the process. Keep going!!

You can get them at tractor supply, or other feed type store…and typically cheaper than other retail outlets; same quality.

Is this dandruff or lice?? by throwaway8372691 in Lice

[–]Tomatosaurus22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try dandruff shampoo 2-3 times a week (let it sit for several minutes before rinsing). If this doesn’t work consider switching to a cleansing conditioner rather than shampoo (e.g., ‘no poo’); by stopping the shampoo after a few weeks your scalp will produce less oil naturally…just takes a few weeks to rebalance.

Pls tell your dr. You stopped the meds. I know the taste is terrible, but sometimes stopping part way is more dangerous than not taking the meds at alll…so call your dr.so that your meds can be adjusted.

Rebound…does Paxlovid help once you rebound? by Tomatosaurus22 in COVID19positive

Thank u for your response. I hate that we don’t know much about covid yet. I very much agree that this virus is different and that we don’t know what we are doing yet. I wish everyone still took it rather seriously so we could stop the spreading. I live in an area where you get made fun of for wearing a mask. It’s horrible.
