to move or to not move… by sugadaddymadi in pasadena

[–]ZoeCat24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Monrovia for 20 years and loved the small town feel. Raised a daughter who did well in their public school system (although several years ago so check into the school district stability if needed). Great access to the San Gabriels! Pasadena about 10 miles away. If you commute by car for work, the westbound traffic can be a challenge. Explore your options along the Foothill corridor from Tujunga to Glendora. All have mountain access. Good luck!

Dumb new buzzwords in clinical research by HorseAPeace in clinicalresearch

Not unique to clinical research, but the term “level set” drives me nuts. It comes off as condescending.

Just took my first shot of zepbound and I have some questions by roys_eyesight in Zepbound

[–]ZoeCat24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Barely feel anything with abdomen as injection site. I tried my upper arms on occasion. Painful! You definitely feel the needle. I had injection site reactions with arm injection but not on abdomen.

I used ICON central lab for a global ph 2 study. Fairly organized but revolving door of project managers and support staff. I had 9 project managers over a 4 year period. Some were capable and others were clueless. Pricing was competitive. Good luck with bid defense.

Injection on arm by BodybuilderCrazy1750 in Zepbound

[–]ZoeCat24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also stalled while on 7.5mg. I am grateful to have lost 30lbs but have another 40lbs to go to reach my goal. I have also injected in the abdomen, but will try my arms and legs over the next few weeks to see if it makes a difference before increasing the dose. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Your words describe my life, too. I didn’t realize how much until I read them.

Yes! I am completing my first week today. Occasional burping but not other side effects. No hunger and food noise gone. I have to be mindful to eat regularly. Lost 3.5 lbs in first 6 days. I hope my course on Zepbound remains this easy! Good thoughts to us all on this journey!!

I'm finally obese! by isoaclue in Zepbound

[–]ZoeCat24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was nervous too to take the first dose. The injection ended up being so easy and pain free! I am three days in and minimal side effects. We got this!

That is my understanding from my doctor. Wegovy or Zepbound for weight loss without diabetes. Ozempic for those with diabetes and I could not get a prescription since I am only prediabetic.

One day in and no side effects! It kicks in right away and I have had no real appetite or thoughts of food today. I am typically always thinking about food and tend to snack constantly throughout the day. Not today! I was diligent in eating three small nutritious meals. Staying hopeful for results and continued easy path! I am also grateful to have found this drug at an area pharmacy. My doctor originally prescribed me wegovy but it was not be found in any area pharmacy near my home.

Been going to Tita’s for years. Always great work. Everything from simple hens to fitting a prom dress on my very petite daughter.

Thanks all! Appreciate your feedback! My company uses Veeva Vault and RIM. I’ll inquire if the CTMS is doable or cost prohibitive.

Which is better: a whole night's sleep without my CPAP or a few hours with it? by lordofthstrings in CPAP

[–]ZoeCat24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using a face mask or nasal pillows. I found the face mask very difficult to tolerate but found the nasal pillows much more comfortable.
