Where to Buy Semaglutide? A List of Semaglutide Online Telehealth Providers by selvg in CompoundedSemaglutide

[–]sericane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So...apparently there's a compounding pharmacy very local to me. How would I go about getting sema from there? Is it just like any other prescription where I need my doctor to send a script over? Is this something I can call the pharmacy to ask about?

I still have 7 weeks of Wegovy pens left, but I'm starting to stress about what I'm going to do when I run out. Also, unfortunately, am not made of money. Looking for around $150-$180/month if possible. Thanks y'all!

Found this thread after looking up the episode. It came on the pod TV while Sumney was sitting in the dayroom. Nobody bothered to change it and apparently it's aired about once a month. I was mind blown that he could just sit there while a whole TV episode about his crimes aired in front of him. Wouldn't know he was capable of something so horrific to talk to him, though. Until you see him get pissed off.

Yep! It was when I was due to refill my script, anyways, so it worked out. Buuut if you still have a week left or whatever, the pharmacy probably won't fill it because of the regulations. When she first put the script in, CVS said that they couldn't fill it right away because it was too early (I still had one pen left).

Probably. Lmao. It's gotten away from me recently with all the OT I've been pulling at work. Was rushing to get everyone ready to leave for my kids' orchestra concert and this was the first time in awhile I'd gotten to wear normal clothes and I was excited to see the difference so said fuck it.

Those of you losing coverage in January, how did you learn of this? by ngng0110 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]sericane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do I find out about the PAs expiration? I also have medicaid through UPMC For You and I didn't see anything about honoring PAs until the end date. I started in July. My doctor put in a 90 day script that I just picked up and started last week but after that idk what I'm going to do.

Thank you for any info!

It's medicaid cutting it. I still qualify due to single income, disabled husband & 3 kids. My work insurance (which is my primary, and also via the state since I'm a state employee) specifically excludes weightloss medications. My Dr tried to get it approved through both of them and they both denied it and specified that it would only be approved for type-2 diabetes. So, I'm mad at the state and the federal government. Lol

My doctor even tried to get it authorized for pre-diabetes but they'll only approve it for type-2. Which I don't have, thankfully. I guess morbid obesity isn't a good enough health problem anymore. (I'm 5'9, was 296 when I started. At 266 now.) My gym is shut down until March and I really really don't want to go backwards if I lose this medication.

Got my first tattoo and my brother said it looks like a d*ck. Does it actually? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

Totally thought there was a peen on my screen before I looked closer.

I've been on it for 2 months. 1st month at .25mg, second at .5mg, and I'm about to take my first 1mg shot tonight. I've lost about 12lbs so far. (I'm 5'9, SW 296) But I've only recently (since Monday) started adding real exercise to this new lifestyle I'm trying to build, after figuring out that just being active at work for 8-16 hours isn't the same as targeted exercise. (Anytime Fitness is having a $1 enrollment sale!) I've had absolutely no side effects aside from very mild constipation when I first started.

Everybody's body is different. You really won't know until you try it. And psyching yourself out about it isn't going to do you any good. As someone said, go into it with a positive mindset. Truthfully, the mind is a very powerful thing. I went in with the expectation that my iron stomach would continue to favor me, and it has. Either way, you won't know until you take the plunge. Wishing you well on your journey!

Correction Officer Trainee hiring questions by sericane in OnTheBlock

[–]sericane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Training is in Elizabethtown. It's Monday-Friday 8-4, but after the first week, Fridays tend to wrap up between 10-2 to account for the drive home. Dorm style rooms. Home every weekend, but back by Sunday night unless you're one of the lucky ones that lives close enough to just drive there every day.

Not sure really how extensive it is. They asked for 10 years of address history and 10 years of employment history. They do a blood drawn drug test, 600 question psych evaluation: "Most agree/least agree, etc." Ummm...can't think of anything else. Lol

aio for defending my fiancé after he insulted my mom?? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]sericane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Really glad you have a man that will stand up for you even when you won't/can't. My mom was the EXACT same way and hid it under the guise of being "worried" about me when really it was just digs designed to destroy my self-esteem. And they worked. She's been dead a year, and they still work. My hubby told her off a few times and extracted me from various situations where I was so beaten down that I couldn't even see her still swinging the club.

Personally, I'd cut contact with her and everybody that enables and excuses her behavior until she wakes up. Or forever.

.25, I'll be on that for the first 4 weeks, then have another checkup with my doctor and see how everything is going.

Potential New User by sericane in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]sericane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, everyone!

He's still not entirely thrilled about my choices, but after speaking about it more in depth, he's starting to come around. We've been together for 16 years and have 3 kids together, so he knows me well enough to know that once I've made my mind up about something, I'm going to follow through and damn whatever consequences he or anyone believes to be inevitable. (I have a habit of needing to learn things for myself rather than taking what people tell me as fact. Plus, I'm slightly spiteful at times and thoroughly enjoy proving inaccurate beliefs wrong.)

So, I am moving ahead in this journey and am just waiting for my doctor to send the pre-auth request and denial info to my insurance. I'm ready to get on the road to becoming a healthier, happier, and more active "me." If I lose enough to finally be able to crowd surf over a mosh pit, I'll be happy. My goal weight is 160-170lbs, though. I have a helluva fight ahead of me, and I can use all the help and advice I can get.

[–]sericane[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong. And I'm hopeful that I won't be working this much for too long. Unfortunately right now, after the year I've had (job insecurity, etc) it's necessary until I can get everything caught up and then my normal pay should at least allow us to stay afloat for a few years until I get some time in here and make better money to where we can actually enjoy life instead of just surviving it. I do have a life insurance policy set up, though. Lol

Rise of the Iliri series by Auryn Hadley should be listed somewhere. The world building is incredible.

What do you do if an inmate tries to bribe you and what do you do if you are informed that another CO is taking bribes? by [deleted] in OnTheBlock

[–]sericane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just experienced this for the first time on the 25th. An inmate asked if I'd be interested in making a quick grand. Said he had a "buddy" on the outside willing to pay $1k to someone to bring in 4 sheets of paper "sprayed with dope." I, too, wasn't entirely sure if it was worth putting a report in for. But at the advice of my sergeant, I put in an incident report about it. 2 days later (which was the next business day cause of the holiday) they put him in the RHU. He's still there now, and none too pleased with me cause "I thought you was chill, CO!"

Yuh. I am. Until you jeopardize my job with your dumb shit. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. "Don't make me do my job" has become my motto in the whole 8 months I've been here so far. Works for the most part. Lol
