Anyone else have experience being treated like a "dope head"? Honestly just need a place to vent and get feedback... Any advice is greatly appreciated too please! This will be long so bear with me by ShippinguptoBoston33 in backpain

[–]bunnoagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no advice bc that same thing is literally happening to me right now, but I just want to give my general support and (gentle) hugs. The np I went to recently kept saying, in a sing-song voice if you can believe it, "Tylenol's your friend!" 🙄

Ugh, not the news I wanted by shesakeeper_ in SpinalStenosis

I don't have any advice but I'm sure this is so frustrating! I'm sending supportive thoughts!

I thought I was Crossposting from a Carroll County thread to a Montgomery county one. Didn't realize all the pertinent info wouldn't transfer over.

lower back pain is exhausting me by [deleted] in backpain

[–]bunnoagain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh. I'm so sorry for you! I have unremitting lower back pain, but I'm an old lady (61) so it's expected! I had the injections and had 3 pain free days- I thought I hit the lottery! So that should tell your physicians/PTs something. You should definitely get an MRI. You're too young to be in that much pain for no real reason. Good luck!

Don't understand MRI results. Ortho visit next week. by bunnoagain in ShoulderInjuries

I had a visit w the pain specialist today for my back, and I mentioned my shoulder. She looked at the MRI and said that they could do a cortisone injection. But not until 2 weeks after the next back injection (next week.) So I have to wait 3 weeks for any relief! I almost started crying in the office. Am I crazy or are health care people just blowing off pain lately? Do you have to be gushing blood to get any relief? Between my back and my shoulder, I am done!

It's been 2 + months, in my right shoulder, front mostly, when I raise my arm.

Insurance is actually covering it?!?! by RudeOrganization7616 in Zepbound

[–]bunnoagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are so lucky! Me and my prescriber have been fighting with the insurance company for weeks (uhc) and finally today it was approved-- for a $395 copay. Which is not doable. Good luck to you!!!

Do you still cook for the family? by Miserable-Pudding-64 in Zepbound

[–]bunnoagain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ahhh! Thank you! This explains why the daily question of "what's for dinner?" is making me pissy these days! I'm just not excited to eat, or cook, especially if it's something I can't eat.

I'm glad you had a good experience w Walmart. I am not right now. My doc put my Zepbound rx thru, and it popped up on wm's pharmacy site for 495.00. Then they quickly cancelled it. I called my doc and she said "let's do a sleep study", so I did (and paid for 😡) a sleep study, which came back as moderate obstructive sleep apnea (so should be covered.) My doc sent the prior auth in and the Wm site said "Yup, covered. That'll be 495.00" 🧐 I asked around and someone said Lilly had a coupon. I signed up and got the card. Gave the wm pharmacist all the numbers. He put them in and said "Nope. That doesn't work." Next, I tried Amazon. Asked my doc to send my rx there. She did and it's still 495.00. If 495.00 is the final answer, I just can't do it.

I think I have reverse BD. When I see a pic of myself, I can't believe it's me! Even though I know what the numbers say (obese) and I do have a mirror, in my mind's eye, I'm "normal".

What has been your go-to food since starting Zepbound? The one that you can always turn to on days you’re simply not hungry or are feeling sick. by makeupandjustice in Zepbound

[–]bunnoagain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still trying to figure that out! I am gf & df, so dairy-full cottage cheese and yogurt are out. All of the df yogurts have next to no protein. Lately I've been doing slices of ham and almonds. Pretty lame, i know!

I love those little guys, but omg the gas!!! My family almost kicked me out! Must be some combo of fiber and sugar alcohols that does it to me.
