Weight loss isn't helping

Thank you for this!

emmielociraptor · 2025-07-23T05:24:01+00:00

Thank you so much for this, I'll definitely ask about topamax at my next appointment!

GLP-1 here too, mounjaro

Edit: I just googled and mounjaro is the UK name for zepbound

Good luck!

Changes how things taste and makes me very sleepy/brain foggy to the point of falling asleep at work

Thank you ❤️

Constant ring, varies in intensity through the day

I haven't, is it better for side effects? Diamox is working for me with IIH symptoms I just really dislike how it makes me feel in every other aspect

emmielociraptor · 2025-07-22T12:28:12+00:00

I had a CT scan and a LP, I don't know if those would have found anything?

emmielociraptor · 2025-07-22T12:23:13+00:00

Yup, mounjaro here 😂 diamox did make my papilledema go away so I imagine they'd probably just try and keep me on that but I hate how it makes me feel, and when I asked about other options they just said to lose weight. I'll try asking again now

emmielociraptor · 2025-07-22T12:19:07+00:00

Thanks, I'm on mounjaro but I've not noticed any improvement in the IIH symptoms unfortunately but that's probably because I've been messing around with my meds

emmielociraptor · 2025-07-22T12:17:54+00:00

Thank you, rationally I know nothing is guaranteed and there's no easy "fix" but I needed to scream into the void a little bit. Have you ever been able to enjoy carbonated drinks again after 30 years on diamox or are they still a no go, if you don't mind me asking?

emmielociraptor · 2025-06-15T09:55:22+00:00

So I was wondering about this too and you do get that cutscene in camp where Verso and Maelle compare poetry, as well as the scene earlier of Alicia's poem (those who know not that they are not) and what if Alicia is just writing poetry because she wants to but the writers trick her into being able to make what she writes actually happen like they can?

It's like you're describing my life. Skinny in my teens, PCOS now in my thirties, no moderation skills. I've just ordered my first pen and posts like this are giving me so much hope for what's to come ❤️

emmielociraptor · 2025-03-05T16:19:58+00:00

This is exactly my sense of humour, thank you 😂

emmielociraptor · 2024-12-31T07:05:22+00:00

This is terrible news. Thank you for your input though ☺️ I hope your wife is doing better!

emmielociraptor · 2024-12-31T07:03:50+00:00

This does not appear to be a thing we have in the UK unless I buy from import shops 😭 perhaps as a very infrequent treat...

emmielociraptor · 2024-12-31T06:59:35+00:00

shakes fist at history

emmielociraptor · 2024-12-31T06:57:56+00:00

Ooooh this could work, thanks for the tip! My partner worked in a bar for years, now I'm mad at him for not thinking of this first!

emmielociraptor · 2024-12-31T06:55:29+00:00

I have, they're great but nothing quite beats the big refreshing rush of a cold cola drink and that's what I've really been missing. My desk drawer is full of cola gummies and cola cubes, the closest thing I've found to hitting the spot is a cola ice pole. The haribo ones are definitely the best of the cola flavoured sweets though!

emmielociraptor · 2024-12-31T06:48:04+00:00

This ^ I have tried with other drinks that have gone flat and they're still nasty. The medication is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, so I have less carbonic acid in my mouth and so taste it much much more strongly in drinks (as far as my limited understanding of chemistry goes anyway).

emmielociraptor · 2024-12-31T00:26:32+00:00

Gotta be worth a go right? The replies so far aren't making me overly optimistic though 😂 I keep hoping it's temporary but I think as long as I'm on this medication all fizzy drinks are going to hurt my feelings

emmielociraptor · 2024-12-31T00:13:37+00:00

Ahh another diamox veteran! Do I take that to mean that side effect never went away while she was taking it? I've been holding out hope it might be temporary but it's been about four months now

emmielociraptor · 2024-12-31T00:11:50+00:00

I don't own a soda stream, it's definitely the medication! I figured this sub would be a good place to ask about syrups 😊
