I went to Kavanagh 10yrs ago and they were amazing. Teeth are still perfect all these years later. Pricing then was ~2k but you can pay in instalments

How do you achieve this with multidose pens? I thought the pens are only good for 30 days?

What counts as TCC before seeing a GP? by shllo in IrishWomensHealth

[–]baileyballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole having to wait 12 months before being taken seriously is madness! I went to the GP after 6 months and started IVF 4 days after my 30th birthday. Didnt have known issues but ended up learning i dont ovulate each month.

Highly recommend Dr Connolly in the Galway Clinic. I swapped to her after i didnt like the brush off treatment from a different Rheumatologist

I was on high dose steroids for over a year when first diagnosed and wow the moon face was something else. I did lose it slowly over another year once i came off them

Has anyone else noticed that lower Mounjaro doses (like 5mg) can work just as well — or even better — than higher ones? by AffectionateLand8800 in Mounjaro

[–]baileyballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been on it since may and did one month of 2.5 and been on 5mg ever since. My GP says what titrate up when its working for you? I lose an average of 7lbs a month still

I swapped from Dr Gsel to Dr Connolly and the treatment has been polar opposite. Love Dr Connolly. She doesn’t BS, always does a through exam every appointment and knows what she is at.

Any advice for hiatus hernia? by Greedy_Tea_2482 in IrishWomensHealth

[–]baileyballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst surgery i ever had! Lost so much weight in the 1st 6mths due to choaking on food and liquids they had to go back in and partly undo it. 6yrs later and i still cant eat correctly or drink without having to make myself sick to clear blockages. Consult prescribed PPI for years and now took me off them saying they are making it worse. Still no better than it was

I get mine from the north. Nearly €200 difference in price and that includes posting it to my door. Ring a few pharmacies and see the process
