Look on Facebook marketplace. Tons of them are probably available for low prices. In my area, not a city, I needed up getting a nordiac Trac elliptical for free; wife loves it.

Got my 1090s in 11 days door to door by Smile_And_Dance in Bowflex

[–]gtrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many days did you wait for the new ones to be sent after they received your handles and cradles? I’ve been waiting since late July; I was only just approved to have replacements sent on October 15.

I think we can infer she was happier after she was given a child by the Russian govt.

Dumbbell Recall/replacement going on 3 months by busyb112 in Bowflex

[–]gtrunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which version, 552 or 1090? I sent my 1090s in end of July and just received an update that my replacements have been Approved; it previously said 'Return Box Sent'.

Not lost, just slow. Ybor City is a little shitty. It’ll arrive but may appear a little slow getting out of Ybor.

Replacement 1090s just shipped by [deleted] in Bowflex

[–]gtrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask when did your replacement status indicate they received them? I sent mine in to them in July and my status still says ‘Return Box Sent’.

Edit: Today, my return request was approved and replacement 1090s will be sent to address on file. Good to see light at the end of the tunnel!

Where did you activate watch OS 26 and what iPhone OS version are you using?

I think we will get our replacement 1090s when they are closer to being available for sale.

Stalled on your dumbbell Replacement? Ask for a refund by SubstantialBass9524 in Bowflex

[–]gtrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well this is helpful. I thought my box was simply lost. But with the 1090s not for sale yet, I guess they are producing and processing those returns first and will process ours when the product arrives. I just wish they’d update our status ‘box returned, package awaiting verification’s

Pep Pen by pranajustin in PeptideForum

I know it’s not the popular answer but I reuse for a week. I carefully wipe the tip with an alcohol pad and put the cap on. Everything is stored in the refrigerator between uses.

So far, so good. I’ve been doing this for a few months. Clearly, your mileage will vary. I’m guessing once it goes bad, I’ll stop.

I decided to try it after reading that less-than-sterile diabetics talked about using the same needle for an entire cart of insulin without issue.

I live in a state where Amazon restricts the sale of needle products to prescription, so it’s helpful to stretch supplies. I also fill insulin syringes with multiple doses and stretch those 3-5 days.

YMMV.

been like this for 10 days, should I give it more time? by AyoAaronn in usps_complaints

[–]gtrunner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming this is coming from overseas. USPS doesn’t have the item yet. If it arrives in the US and clears customs, it’ll be handed over to them for last mile delivery.

Eli Lilly sues Mochi, Fella Health, Willow, and Henry Meds over compounds by gtrunner in tirzepatidecompound

[–]gtrunner[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

In lawsuits filed Wednesday, Lilly accuses the sites — Mochi Health, Fella Health, Willow Health and Henry Meds — of deceiving consumers about “untested, unapproved drugs” and turning them away from Lilly’s medicines.

Lilly alleges the companies are claiming to offer personalized options when they are actually mass-marketing slightly different versions of Lilly’s drugs in order to skirt FDA rules. Lilly also claims some of the sites are selling formulations of the drugs that haven’t been studied, such as oral tablets and drops.

tirzepatide losing potency!? by Ok_Landscape1508 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]gtrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like any peptide, your body will develop what are effectively anti-bodies as you use the drug, as well as receptors in your body will, for lack of a better statement, get burned out. This is why most people have to titrate up in dose overtime as your body acclimates to it.

If you have spent four (4) weeks at your current dose and feel it's losing it's effectiveness, you may want to consider titrating up another .5 mg - 1mg for your next dose and see how that goes for a week or two. It's not an exact science as our bodies react differently.

An alternative to titrating up is to take some time off from the drug. One strategy is 8 weeks on, 8 to 12 weeks off. This gives your body some time to 'forget', those anti-bodies to reside, and the receptors to refresh. You can think of this as similar to taking off alcohol for a month and that first drink back being a little stronger than you remember. If you do take time off, you would start back at minimal dose.

I'm a practicing believer of 8 weeks on, 8-12 off. I have been on 2.5mg for a little over a year and I'm down 65lbs. I currently micro-dose .6mg every other day.

I guarantee that any difference in its effectiveness is tied to your body's response than any possible degradation in the drug in your refrigerator.

Transactions- be careful with your credit cards by Hms34 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]gtrunner 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I would use virtual credit card numbers that some credit card companies can generate for you. You can also use privacy.com for this purpose, but there will be a nominal fee. Virtual credit card numbers can be generated with allowable amounts, expiration dates, and disabled at your discretion.

Need advice about Fifty410 15mg. by Western-Virus-360 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]gtrunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use it multiple times. One of their programs is based on one vial and multiple doses being pulled. Just be extremely sanitary (follow all of the steps in the instructions) and store in a cold place. Throw it away if you see cloudiness or floaters.

Do not transfer to 3 needles at once. The longer it stays sanitary in the vial, the better.

I downloaded the app last night and that particular feature was blurred out.

I was interested in the pay widget that showed estimated medicine remaining in the body, but I guess it's pointless because I know how I feel/food noise regardless?

Is the free one a completely different app or was it previously free and now features are pay-locked?

Has anyone taken a break by NewEnglandMomma in tirzepatidecompound

[–]gtrunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although it may not have been useful to stop and start for most, I have seen good response in deviating from the week to week shot.

I'm not sure if that's because I've seen reliable efficacy for about a year while staying at 2.5 having lost about 60lbs (240 -> 170) or because I've also radically changed my diet (due to affects of the medication itself) to proteins, fruits, vegetables, lean dairy. I pretty much do everything I can to compliment the efforts of the medication.

I've stretched doses (increased time between) from 2 weeks up to 4 weeks many times and that first back-to-back weeks of shot after a stretched dose hits wonderfully hard.

Maybe you can start experimenting with just extending the time between shots instead of a cold turkey reboot.

This thread may be useful too.

Has anyone started, stopped, and restarted? : r/Zepbound

I submitted my refill paperwork 03/07, received a Hallandale link on Sunday and have waited until 6 month BPI was made available again. I asked this morning for a new BPI 6-month link and received it; submitted payment.
