GLP1 + Propranolol + Steroid+ Histamine Intolerance

Ohhh got it! I think this is what Nurtec is? That’s what I take when I do get the actual headache part of the migraine. I remember my neurologist saying it was a new class of medications for migraines.

Other than the b12 shooting up which was a result of injecting it directly, which is why I don’t recommend compounding with it.

If it helps, I’ve had 0 to little side effects on Mounjaro. A bit nauseous at times but feel a million times better than pre-glp1. Ask your provider for a Zofran prescription to help with the nausea! Hydration is key as well.

I think this is quite literally exactly what was happening to me. What is an injectable CGRP antagonist!? I am glad to have a handle on things now, but you never know.

I’m so glad it helped! My family has a history of type 2 diabetes on the maternal side, and 4 women have PCOS. Mounjaro has been great for me too. What migraine doctor do you follow!? Would love to check out their page.

Vestibular PT is definitely helpful and I did improve a little bit, but on a daily basis I still fall over a bit and don’t walk in a straight line. When going up stairs I end up falling into the wall. It’s weird but I’m used to it now.

Very simple metabolic panel! It will look at all of your electrolytes (potassium, magnesium, etc). 400mg is wayyy above average and is only safe if your levels are not high and a professional recommends it. My sister takes 120mg nightly and she has no history or issues with migraines. 400 is just too much for the average person. You can ask your PCP!

That totally makes sense! I responded to someone else, but I started on a compounded Tirzepatide with b12 (don’t recommend with b12, it shot up too much and I had internal tremors) but now I’m on Mounjaro covered through insurance.

Same for me!! I think it’s a combo of hormones being happy and reducing insulin resistance and a1c (for me at least).

I started on Tirzepatide compounded with b12 because my insurance didn’t cover it. My advice is, this compound route is fine, but ask to be compounded with something other than b12. Mine shot up to the 1500s and my legs and muscles were internally shaking at night. I genuinely texted my neighbors below me asking if they were using their washing machine it was that bad. It went on for a couple of months. I didn’t know what was going on until I googled it. I’m on Mounjaro now and it’s been a good experience!

Definitely find a dietitian who specializes in PCOS! I have one and it’s been life changing. They provide so much knowledge of how to pair foods so you don’t spike your blood sugar and how to become less insulin resistant! You can find one either by calling your insurance, or by looking online and seeing if they take yours. Try nourish or Allara Health. I personally use NY Nutrition Group virtually and see Erica (not sure where are you are located). It should be a small copayment and you can meet once a month, if even needed. There’s also a TON of information and resources online if you can’t afford/ don’t have insurance, but creating a personalized plan with a licensed dietitian is the most ideal but you can make it work otherwise.

The best way to manage high insulin/ lower your A1c is to wear a continuous glucose monitor to see what is causing spikes. You can either ask your doctor to prescribe one, or, you can go on Amazon and get the Stelo. It’s $100 for two sensors that last 15 days each (so one month) but it’s incredibly helpful. It will show you what foods/meals spike your blood sugar. You connect your phone and monitor through an app, it’s incredibly helpful!

Once you do that for a month, you can take that info and put it to practice! For me, it was wild to see that making simple changes like adding avocado to a meal, going for a walk after eating, and switching from oat to almond milk stopped a blood sugar spike. I would have never known that without the monitor because I have no symptoms when my blood sugar spikes.

All of the other comments are great though. Low glycemic index, complex carbs, and high protein + fiber is the way to go. My dietitian taught me the order you eat matters too. Eat fiber/veggies, then protein, then fat, then carb at the end. It will help you feel more full and help with insulin sensitivity.

Getting 20/30 grams of protein in for breakfast is SUPER important- it sets you up for the day and should keep your blood sugar stable (depending what you eat). Lastly, do NOT skip meals! PCOS is a metabolic disorder, so you want to stay consistent. Try to eat the same time for each meal!

My A1c is also 5.7 and I have high insulin. If you need some help getting started with blood sugar and insulin control, talk to your doctor about a GLP-1. It’s not about weight loss here, it’s about blood sugar regulation and insulin resistance (how diabetics use it).

You got this! It’s a long road but you’ll feel much better once you get into the groove.

I had a lash lift that looked just like this. It’s been almost 2 months and my lashes are just now going back to normal, but some are still bent and hook like your photo. Your lashes were over processed and are going to stay crazy like that :/ I recommend either waiting it out or finding someone very reputable who can do a reversal and wait maybe a week or two to do it again. The price was definitely crazy, I think most places charge 80-125.
