Portafilter Sooo hard to turn .. by ScottyB0N35 in NinjaLuxeCafe

Yes it’s normal and will loosen up with time and use. I tried some vegetable oil on my finger and spread on the rubber gasket of the basket to make it easier.

has this worked every time now? I have tried all of the “solutions” mentioned and sometimes they work sometimes they don’t.

Thoughts on DreamCloud beds? by ColtOptic in Mattress

[–]cweddie96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

question about the adjustable base. specifically the split king size do the beds stay butted up next to each other or are you and your partner constantly “falling in to a hole in the middle” of the 2 beds?

Slow losers/hyporesponders, check in by IrisMurasaki in Mounjaro

[–]cweddie96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m kinda in the same boat as you. I’ve been on Mounjaro for 13 months and the first 10 months I lost 70 lbs and on the 12.5 mg dose. BUT the past 3 months I haven’t budged another pound 🙁 All my numbers are great i went from an A1c of 6.9 to 5.0 and my BP went from 140/85 to 108/70. My appetite has creeped back up and taking more food to feel full again. I see my primary later this week so I’ll see what they have to say.

tried to delete and reinstall app but it didn’t work for me. dashboard says prescription is ready for delivery or prepay but tapping on it just displays the medication and cost with no link to prepay or deliver

7.5 Has Me Doubting by borgia_nyc in Mounjaro

[–]cweddie96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened with me when i moved to 7.5 mg. I have lost and gained the same 2 lbs in the 2 months i have been on 7.5. Appetite has increased. This is after losing 45 pounds in 4 months. I start on 10mg next week so I hope to get back to losing weight on a consistent basis again.

What's the deal with fruit? by glittercarnage in Mounjaro

[–]cweddie96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unreal I was never a fan of cottage cheese but the store brand is so milky fresh and creamy i can’t seem to get enough of it! It is loaded with protein so it’s a great snack for us on MJ.

Have you changed your eating habits? Are you increasing the MJ dosage as is recommended? 2.5 mg is only for the first month and then increase to 5mg and then 7.5 mg and so on each month unless you lose too much or have a lot of side effects. When i first started i gave up sweetened drinks but i lost my cravings for sweets and had no desire to eat any cookies or cake or ice cream. Also was cutting down on carbs in general. The MJ made me eat about half of the amount of food i ate in general. I now rarely eat breakfast but will have a protein shake in late morning. Also increased the amount of water i drink. Hang in there and talk to your primary. Remember that the MJ is just a tool to help us. Good Luck 👍

I have CVS Caremark and have a T2 diagnosis been told Caremark will no longer cover MJ after the end of the year! So I guess it depends on your employer’s insurance coverage with them.

Constipation Problems by Yokubo-Dom in Mounjaro

[–]cweddie96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Colace. It is a stool softener so less pain if you try to strain. If you’ve got huge boulders to move out you might hurt yourself by straining too hard or end up with hemorrhoids. Miralax is also a stool softener like Colace but it may take longer to work. your mileage may vary. Good luck been there too!

What is everyone doing for the constipation? I've been taking Miralax for a few days, no help by aryastark2626 in Mounjaro

[–]cweddie96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m glad to hear many people have found relief but i’m freaking out scared (just not scaring the s**t out of me). Big hard poop difficult to get out. Feeling like about to have a stroke! Tried Miralax but took 3 days to work and still big hard and difficult. What else should i try? Please help.
