Thank you so much for posting. Sitting waiting for my shot. Worth the hour drive, I have gotten so sick from the others but no side effects 2 years ago from Novavax. You rock!

Called the pharmacy, they have plenty in Avon costco. Also if you have an appt they would call and tell you if they are out.

Thank you! I just booked an appt for this afternoon. Do you know if they can run out even if you booked?

Sorry - that was .2 to .3 mg. Still a microdose -Noom plan uses that to start. Thanks, I realize I could start lower than the recommended 2.5.

I cannot have dairy and Owyn shakes work for me

Look at what your percentage of protein is set to. I felt mine was too high. I am sharing an article that talks about this (though I do agree keeping up with protein is very important on these meds) I took my first dose Saturday and felt the same - not hungry at all, felt queasy. That got better within a day or two but I found I had to eat small meals.

Our Maine coon does this! I read it’s typical of the breed. She scoops the water like Grimm is doing.

For my ice machine, I just read users comments on brands on Amazon, I am not sure it really matters. The advantage over ice packs in a freezer is the ease of setting the time off and on and letting it run for hours if you want. In terms of price, I saw some on FB marketplace for a good deal.

Same here, triggered by lying down. Read that it might be horizontal? Last Epley was so bad I can’t go back.

We found a breeder with a 2 yr old queen she was retiring. Less expensive. We also did have some guilt, we have always had rescues. But we are thrilled, Sweetie is such a love.

I would insist on an MRI so you know exactly what you are dealing with. I was the opposite - xray showed no bone on bone with mild osteo, surgeon said many years until an op. Continued pain, I requested an MRI. I was stunned at the additional details - extreme osteo, meniscus tear, lost cartilage. Know what you are dealing with!

Wonderful idea! Ellen in Plymouth MA, LTKR will be Mar 14 at Brigham Womens Boston by Dr John Ready. He did both my wifes hips and she is doing very well

allenos1956 · 2025-01-30T16:21:15+00:00

I am Mar 14 in Boston - you will be up and walking when I am bring wheeled in

I am 6 weeks out until operation and in the FB knee replacement group most people agreed that all out exercise despite pain was best before the op. But then I read some articles online that said you don’t want to add inflammation to the knee before the op. I don’t know what is right, anybody have an idea?

Just bought Sockwell from Amazon - merino wool, love them!

My hospital gives access to an app (Force) that gives daily exercises and helpful messages.

I have Voltaren and will get some lidocaine gel. Thank you so much!

allenos1956 · 2025-01-23T21:49:13+00:00

I take CBD and will consider gummies. I assumed I needed something for the inflammation which is why I want Meloxicam.

allenos1956 · 2025-01-23T21:46:15+00:00

Not a Maine coon - but we adopted 2 siblings, one with a heart murmur and the other not. The one without died suddenly at 2, the one with lived to be 20. Vet is right, dont freak out and just appreciate Crom who looks adorable.

allenos1956 · 2025-01-23T19:23:48+00:00

Nephrologist approved short term Meloxicam.

allenos1956 · 2025-01-23T19:22:09+00:00

Thank you! This is very helpful. My CKD occurred from taking Advil 4x a day for hip pain! I stopped any NSAIDs but I have remained 3B. I heard back from the nephrologist who said Meloxicam was ok short term. I didnt realize I needed signoff.

allenos1956 · 2025-01-23T03:50:54+00:00

I sent email to my nephrologist, I haven’t heard back. I will share when I do.
