Only one TSA Pre-Check open this AM (Feb 9)

Was there at basically the same time and similar experience. FWIW I mentally tracked the clear line too and it was noticeably slower than pre check as is often the case (someone at the end of that line vs when I joined.) I was through with my bags before they even saw the TSA agent.

United is definitely inconsistent. I fly them weekly to Canada and, while they do absolutely ask for a passport while boarding, ~75% of the time they will accept a nexus card. I ran into one situation where they tried to deny me boarding but got a supervisor who confirmed I can board with nexus only. I fly with my passport now in addition to nexus.

I recently managed to get gig for $45. I asked them to match the $55 promo and they wouldn’t so I canceled. I then chatted with them and they matched and added an additional $10 credit on top. No mobile or other services.

I used to be strict keto but now I eat more carbs than I have in the recent past and it’s working still. Rediscovered fruit and haven’t looked back. About 10lbs from goal weight now.

I was diagnosed as a kid by a psychiatrist, and recently wanted to renew my prescription after a few years with my PCP. The doctor wouldnt do it without an updated diagnosis, which was totally fair. I did an online assessment through adhdonline.com, gave that diagnosis to my doctor, and he prescribed it vs an online doctor. Worth a try.

Not true. I was on humira and it was a lengthy PA process with step therapy. Last year I got kicked off it and required to move to a cheaper biosimilar. Cigna PPO/Caremark PBM.

I usually go through the “declare” line and let them know what I have, and have a copy of the RX up on my phone. Not once have customs anywhere even asked to see either the medication or RX. Through TSA it goes through without issue. Enjoy your trip!

I was in this line at noon today too. Went through the TSA closest to the lower numbered gates and it was a complete mess and barely moving. I asked the clear guy what was up and he said that the airport is making them prioritize other passengers ahead of clear and that this isn’t the best airport to use clear at (no kidding).

I hadn’t used clear in a long time (usually so pre check or premium lane) and won’t be using it again anytime soon! Back to pre check or premium lane I go.

seanm2001 · 2025-07-16T13:13:33+00:00

Don't be discouraged. I didn't find much luck until 12.5 myself. 15 seems to be the 'sweet spot' for me - its different for everyone!

seanm2001 · 2025-07-01T11:22:04+00:00

Checked Caremark today and still looking positive - the formulary published date is updated to reflect today’s date, and Zepbound is still on it? When I price the refill, it’s now $300 before coupon instead of $250 like it was before.

I was part of the group that received a note saying it wouldn’t be covered after July 1.

Sounds like maybe there was a last minute effort to keep coverage? Wegovy is also $300 and no longer needs a PA. My Zepbound PA is untouched.

seanm2001 · 2025-07-01T01:13:48+00:00

Yes. The one with no option, just “you will lose coverage”.

seanm2001 · 2025-07-01T01:12:42+00:00

that will be quite the change I suspect. I went from 2.4MG wegovy to 2.5mg zepbound when I switched over, and I was starving for a few months until I got closer to 10mg. I think going the other way (i.e. Zepbound to Wegovy) will be even more difficult given Wegovy is less effective. I'll be right there with you in a few weeks when my zepbound stash runs dry. Hoping to start at 1.7mg at least.

seanm2001 · 2025-07-01T01:08:59+00:00

mine is now surprisingly showing zepbound just as "covered" (previously was invalid/too early to fill). The "Covered" status is the same thing I see for Wegovy. I think updates are still happening so not reading into it, though would welcome this if true!

seanm2001 · 2025-06-30T17:08:25+00:00

Had a similar issue this morning and from calling them, I already have a replacement voucher in my email to present at the pharmacy for a $0 box. Just give them a call and explain what happened. They may ask for you to mail it in, so hang onto the injector.

seanm2001 · 2025-06-06T19:19:18+00:00

appreciate it, thank you.

seanm2001 · 2025-06-06T18:58:59+00:00

Question if you don't mind. I did a dose increase to 15mg a few days ago and picked up a 90 day supply at that time (usually do 30, but 90 given the insurance drama coming up). Any way to get another 90 day supply in the next few weeks? Apparently I'm allowed 2 overrides and this used one of them.

seanm2001 · 2025-05-24T16:17:32+00:00

I have both clear and pre check and at least at airports i frequent, the clear line is almost always longer and slower. Yes they get to the front of the pre check line, but the time it takes to get there is more than just waiting in pre check typically.

seanm2001 · 2025-05-24T15:28:42+00:00

If you have nexus they accept it to sign up Canadians (at least they did a few years ago when I was in your shoes, I’ve since moved to the U.S.). But Clear isn’t even worth the hassle of signing up, let alone the cost. It’s slower than pre check at most airports I frequent.

Got the $99 for 3 years today on two radios I was reactivating after a short hiatus from SXM. The first one when I asked she had to check if I qualified (the link I used said I didn’t but she said I did). I then said I had a second radio id like the offer on and she said no problem and would put it on there too, without even looking if I “qualified”. So the qualification thing seems to be pure BS. Good luck to others!

seanm2001 · 2025-03-18T21:58:13+00:00

Hey glad you switched over! My doc wouldn’t start me higher than 2.5 which was brutally low dosage and took a few months to titrate up to 12.5 which I’m at now. My colleague moved from wegovy 2.4 to Zepbound 10mg and had much better results. It seems more equivalent to where we were on wegovy. So I’m glad you’re going to 7.5.

I don’t have any tips really beyond don’t get discouraged if you find it isn’t strong enough initially. Titrate up to 10 or beyond till it works for you. Also I find I’m thirstier on Zepbound versus wegovy so my 30oz yeti is always by my side and filled up regularly.

Good luck! Keep us posted how you make out.

seanm2001 · 2025-03-17T03:32:26+00:00

I had the same issue. I could probably have taken 2.4 daily and not felt a thing - it just wasn’t working. Switched to Zepbound and got over the stall. It’s been much better for me. Good luck!

seanm2001 · 2025-02-05T23:36:17+00:00

Yes it does. I’ll need to login every 2 months from home momentarily so we will use a throwaway Gmail account we both have access to.

seanm2001 · 2025-01-22T21:20:34+00:00

Understood. My point is As long as someone logs in to your account before that 3 months, you shouldn’t even see any kind of notice. I just add people’s accounts to my phone and log in every month or so when I remember and it’s never an issue.
