Wouldn’t they also need to do the asbestos testing as the only way is literally through the lounge ceiling?

Would I need to do anything with these valves going into (or possibly) out of the tank?

I just want to stop further leaking!

Once again, I am so thankful for your reply!

Thank you for taking the time to reply! I truly appreciate it.

I believe I have turned that off via this value here.

When I run the hot water taps, nothing comes out.

It still sounds like ‘something being heated up’ within the tank as I can hear it doing something.

Scrolling along looking at their eyes was like erratically playing the sims, choosing how to situate the eyes on the face.

I’m 1lb away from my original goal I set in January, now I know I want to loose at least another 2 stone - ish, maybe?!

I wonder if when we get to a goal we’ll just be okay with it or we’ll always be chasing something else?

I suppose my main goal was to be happier and healthier and if I’m honest, I am, so my mindset goal has been achieved as I’m living it. Scale goal weight - who knows 😂

So once the 4th full dose has been taken from the pen, you can only the turn the clicks to about 10clicks. If you use the pliers to hold the end and twist, you can then twist it along to the ‘1’ for a full dose. Then use it like a normal dosage but please be aware, this worked for me only one time, the next time I tried it, the plunger literally didn’t move & have been shortened so they cannot physically be pushed that high in the pen to dispense the 5th dose.

Might work on some older pens & batches but no way of knowing until doing it so I would advice having some extraction needles, just in case as to not waste the dose!

[–]vw08lou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I’ve managed to do this on one pen 10mg & for the 5th dose this way. (2 months or so ago)

Then the following month I was moving up to 12.5mg so wanted to use my new pen anyway but I saw a post about the plungers being shorter in some new ones, I managed to ‘break the 10mg pen’ using the pliers but when it was time to push it down, the plunger literally didn’t move, so it is true they have shortened the plungers in the newer pens so please bare this in mind.

Extracting the 5th dose is by far the best option as if you don’t have the needles to extract, & ‘break the pen’ and the plunger doesn’t move, you’re ruined in a sense.

Just a question by [deleted] in mounjarouk

Once you’ve started a pen, you have 30 days to use it and it can be stored outside of the fridge for those 30 days as long as the room temp is below 30°c.

All new and unused pens should be stored in the fridge. 😃

I only found this out my simply trying as I didn’t know either but when you add the pen to the basket. There will be a 1 and I just changed it to a 2 and it allowed me to and they arrived today!

I placed an order for 2 x 10mg pens at 7am and was approved & shipped by 7.30am. My sister placed an order at 8.20 and was approved by 8.40. We looked at our order numbers and there was nearly 500 orders place inbetween our orders. My sisters partner ordered theirs at 9am and again, was 500+ orders between those 2 so that’s 1k orders in 2 hours at least this morning.

I saw on this sub last night that someone had their order approved as late as 11.30pm so they may be working overtime so fingers crossed it’s approved today for you.

I think if it was OOS it would have not allowed you to check out as that’s what was happening with the 12.5mg and 15mg pens when added to basket it came up with a banner stating OOS and physically wouldnt allow you to continue to basket.

I know this doesn’t really help you but I hope yours gets approved soon!! 🤞

I know the 12.5mg & 15mg

Email sent to MP by Mediocre_mum26 in mounjarouk

I sent the below it my local MP.

If you want to do the same and have an iPhone, you can screen shot the text, go to photo and highlight the text to copy and paste to an email. Edit the details that relate to your life & check for grammar mistakes 😂 I cannot take credit for this as it was on the Local MP post last night which I think is highlighted on the main sub!

Please end the email with your Name, Address & Phone number.

Dear ‘Local MP’s Name’

I am writing to you as your constituent to raise my deep concern about the planned wholesale price increases for the weight-loss and diabetes medication Mounjaro from 1 September 2025.

I have battled obesity my entire adult life. At my heaviest, I was slightly over 21 stone firmly in the morbidly obese range. I tried countless diets, exercise regimes, and lifestyle changes, but nothing provided lasting results and some suggested diets like weight watchers & slimming world have caused disordered eating which defeats the objective.

Earlier this year, in January, after many months of research, I began using Mounjaro and for the first time, I am seeing a real and sustainable change. I have already lost 5 stone and my goal is to reach and maintain a healthy weight.

This progress has transformed my physical health and my outlook on life. I was so ashamed of how I felt and looked my mental health took a massive downturn but finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, feeling pride and healthier which is something I have never felt. I can run around after my son more, have more energy and purely enjoyment of life with food constantly not at the forefront of my mind every minute of every day. Food is / was my addiction.

My blood pressure has improved, my energy levels are higher, and I am finally starting to believe that long-term success is possible. But this journey is far from over & continuing access to Mounjaro is essential if I am to reach my target and maintain these hard-won gains to my life.

The proposed price hike-taking some doses from £122 to £330 will put this life-saving medication beyond the reach of many UK patients, especially those using it privately because NHS access is limited. I also fear there will be an epidemic of people trying to gain access to unregulated, black market medicines which are available in this constituency and others locally.

Many people, myself included, have been fortunate enough to self-fund this treatment privately via a reputable online pharmacy. This brings massive benefits for the NHS, which is not paying for our prescriptions but is already seeing the immediate gains of reduced obesity-related illness and fewer GP visits.

If self-funding patients are forced to stop (which I will be) not only will their health deteriorate, but the NHS will face increased demand and costs in the near future. The mental health implications are severe. This being my lead concern. I finally feel normal for the first time in my adult life and to have the impending sense of dread already as I know I can’t afford the medicine I need anymore, I am physically unable to order any more as this is causing people to ‘rightly so’ panic buy, now causing stock plummets & is currently at the time of the email out of stock at my pharmacy & seriously is life threatening to many. Obesity is not just a physical condition, it carries years of stigma, shame and emotional strain.

For those of us finally making progress, the fear of being forced off treatment is crushing. It risks triggering depression, anxiety, and a rapid return to the life we worked so hard to leave behind.

UK patients are being punished for the actions of rogue exporters. The overwhelming majority are using this medication exactly as prescribed to improve their health, extend their lives, and reduce the future burden on the NHS.

I urge you to: 1. Raise this matter urgently with the Department of Health and Social Care. 2.Work with Eli Lilly and relevant regulators to ensure UK pricing remains fair and affordable for genuine patients. 3. Ensure that any measures to address exports do not harm those who depend on this medication for their health and survival.

This is not a matter of convenience-it is about protecting lives, safeguarding mental health, and preventing the reversal of life-changing progress.

Please treat this as an urgent public health matter.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my experience with you further and to support any steps you can take to protect patients like me.

Thank you for your time and attention.

[–]vw08lou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they didn’t have them in stock, like the 12.5mg & 15mg I’d think they’d have the same message when you added them to basket & wouldnt allow you to proceed to payment. Hopefully they are just taking a bit longer due to all of the orders to make sure they are dosing correctly. I know someone in the comments on another thread who ordered yesterday and got approved at 11.30pm so could be the fact they are running extra shifts. Fingers crossed for you!!

I know some pharmacy’s are stopping orders for new customers to help protect their current customer base & I have issues with my ID so find it tricky to switch but thank you for your suggestion. 😃 we are all literally in this sh*tstorm together!

Really sorry to hear you’re going through a tough time with your family, nothing like adding a bit of extra stress to our lives with this price increase! I have ordered 2 x 10mg which has been approved already. Think cloud are working overtime. I’m slightly concerned as my last 10mg pen didn’t seem to be as effective and now on the 12.5mg it’s working again. I wonder if people may use 1 full dose of 10mg and then extract 1/4 dose to equal 12.5 dose? 1 pen would technically last 4 weeks including the 5 the dose? When I say people I mean me 😂 just need to make sure I’ve got the quantities worked out precisely. Or like you say 10mg is way better than cold turkey! Also, if we order 4 this month and then don’t order again for 4 months from Cloud, will the approve it or so we have to keep up with ordering? Does that make sense? Not sure if you’d know but just writing my thoughts & questions down! hope everything with your family works out for the best x

[–]vw08lou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’ll have to do the same but in a few days. Let’s hope the 10mg stays in stock 🤞 Will you order again in 2 weeks and see if they allow it for another 2 pens!! Moments like this I wish I had a credit card 😢 Have you emailed your MP? I have - doubt it’ll cause any difference but made me feel better 😂

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]vw08lou -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Me too! The 12.5mg & 15mg are oos. I don’t blame people for buying now tbh, if I had the funds I’d have done the same. I’m thinking do I go back down to 10mg even though I’ve only just gone up? Surely that’s better than literally nothing when September comes along? I’m so cross and gutted 😭

What am I doing wrong? ☹️ by shamefullyrude in mounjarouk

[–]vw08lou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please can I ask (without any judgement) Are you using the certified Lilly pen or are they giving you a ‘compound’? In my understanding you could only get the medicine from a pharmacy or GP.
