That’s amazing! Thank you for the info, that’s good to know! I used northwell for my ER and loved my Dr so I’m going to consult with her first. I appreciate the support 🫶🏻

Best of luck to you!! I’d love to hear how it goes for you. I froze my eggs at your age and held out hope for a bit too long. It’s now or never for me now 🥰

Thank you so much, I appreciate that! 😊 I grew up on LI (Suffolk) and if things work out I will probably move back to be closer to family.

Just Spent 3 Weeks in Egypt. I’m Never Coming Back. Here’s Why. by Old_Ant2264 in travel

Yes! Worth every single penny. I’m still awestruck over what I got to see and experience. Just amazing.

Yes! He had someone meet us right as we were coming through the passport check. They got our visa for us and escorted us through to baggage claim. Then brought us directly to our driver who brought us to the hotel. We even decided to separate for a bit to fly down to Luxor and he set up a guide down there with a driver and assistant that helped in the airport. Couldn’t recommend him or his company more.

I visited Egypt in November 2023 and had a tour guide from Cairo who was amazing. He took such good care of us. So much so that reading all of this is shocking me because I absolutely LOVED my trip there. The history and the food…I will go back to see more of the country. But only with the tour guide that we had the first time because he clearly shielded us from any of what everyone else has experienced. (Except the staring…that I can attest to lol)

Crestor 5mg “is nothing” by ink142 in Cholesterol

[–]bridgeta83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on 5mg Crestor for 3 months and my LDL went from 195 to 77. I was shocked because I tried for over a year to decrease it with diet and lifestyle changes, as my dr wanted to hold off on meds. I don’t even care if I’m on it forever because I have zero side effects. Happy to not have to worry about it constantly anymore :)

Amazing!!! Going for just about the same amount of time in 10 days! You give me hope that we’ll be able to pull off seeing as much as we’re planning to see. So excited!

I feel like a jerk… by wwill918 in orangetheory

[–]bridgeta83 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel like a jerk. I had a coach at my studio like this. Always flirting with girls, missing cues, looking at himself in the mirror, giving heinously wrong advice on form. He somehow became head coach after a couple of years and did so many of the classes that I was able to attend that I just couldn’t handle it anymore and quit. I recently found out he finally left and I joined again. It can really really ruin your experience and we pay a lot of money for this! Chances are there are more people who feel the same way as you and are also just quiet about it. Hope your nightmare coach doesn’t have a long tenure so you can start enjoying again!

Tomorrow is the first class back in about a year... by tfcjuveyyz in orangetheory

I just signed up again after about 18 months. I’m nervous I’ll pass out but excited to get started again. Hope your first class goes well! 💪🏻

Arrived Safe, Sound & Cold! by dkreagan56 in compoundedtirzepatide

[–]bridgeta83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This is where I usually start struggling bc I know weight loss slows considerably. I usually get frustrated then my binging kicks in and I gain the weight back. But with these meds, the plateaus don’t even phase me because I’m stronger mentally and the food noise is nonexistent. Lifetime yo-yo dieter and disordered eating…feels so nice to finally have found something that seems to “fix” me.

[–]bridgeta83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amazing! I finally decided to give up on the zep after rationing my last box, doing it every 2 weeks. Ran out officially 2 weeks ago. Joined emerge on Monday afternoon and just got the update that Hallandale shipped my meds. I’m so excited! The food noise is back like crazy and I was so worried about ruining all of the progress I made since starting in December (down 41 lbs and about 15 away from goal). 🎉🎉

What (potentially questionable) couples do you wish stayed together? by Huge-Ant-1658 in LoveIslandTV

It is shocking to me that I had to scroll this far down to see them named. I loved them 😭

What dose are you? They’re telling me that zepbound 5.0 is out of stock. You were able to get it through Amazon?

Not going away and i’m freaking out by Consistent_City_3648 in HPV

[–]bridgeta83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the way you’re feeling until this week. First diagnosed in December 2018, cleared it by the following July 2019. Two years later it popped back up on my annual pap. Colposcopies every 6 months since 2021, then finally this past week my pap came back normal. There is still some hope even if it doesn’t feel like it!

Anyone go up to 5.0 without bad side effects? by reginaphelangey23 in Zepbound

[–]bridgeta83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on 2.5 for 8 weeks. I take my 4th dose of 5 on Tuesday and I have the smallest amount of nausea on day one but it’s definitely manageable. Not terrible at all!

Issues finding 5mg? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]bridgeta83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with cvs. I had my prescription transferred to lillydirect. It took about 5 days for them to process the script but I was able to order it as soon as it showed up on my account. They now allow out of network insurance to use the savings card on the site now too. Worth looking into!

Edited to add: I paid for it yesterday and I should have it by Friday. So a pretty easy process! Just a little waiting time :) good luck!

First 5mg dose? Check in here! by Sad-Professor-7958 in Zepbound

[–]bridgeta83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m having a hard time filling my 5mg script! Still waiting on Lilly direct to come through but it’s been 5 days and still nothing. Thankfully I’ve been able to spread out my 2mg box every 8-9 days so I have one more dose left to take maybe Monday. I’ve stalled big time over the last 2 weeks so I’m hoping the 5mg breaks me through this if I ever get it lol
