The inflammation mechanism is the thing that doesn't get enough airtime - joint and autoimmune improvement on these meds is real and consistent, not a coincidence. The PBM coverage catch penalizes you for it working.

Generic oral sema is coming - compounding versions already exist.

It literally means what it says. They cannot post here or do any deals through the forum anymore. It could be something as simple as they didn't pay their dues to remain a sponsor, or it could be they broke the forum rules, or didn't fix problems reported by a bunch of customers.

Yeah, it's weird when food loses its appeal. Like, what's the point of anything? LOL. Seriously though, I hope you find something that brings you joy again.

That's probably because my HRT isn't working as well anymore (which is a thing with MJ). I'm 40 weeks in. Came home from work to find my husband chopping mushrooms for dinner (I usually do the cooking) and I totally lost it. He hasn't spoken to me in 2 days. I decided to get some HRT patches...

Prior users re-titrating Wegovy often skip the 0.25mg step and move through lower doses in 2-3 weeks instead of 4 - receptor familiarity means the side effect ceiling is established. The scale usually takes 2-4 weeks to restart after resuming, even at a working dose.

Actually, my mental health has improved a lot since starting. I'm under a ton of stress at work, and I don't know how I'd be coping without it.

If I could do it again, I'd wait until I hit my goal weight, OR if there was a special occasion. If you're going to buy new clothes, go to thrift stores, clearance sales, or yard sales.

Hit up some consignment shops! I've gone through tons of jeans since I began losing weight. Most of them were super cheap, like under $8. And they're decent brands too!

Just finished my first month at 0.5mg and going up to 1mg tomorrow. Down almost 9 pounds! Fingers crossed the weight keeps coming off. Only side effect has been a little bit of heartburn on shot day.

That's interesting, I did start feeling better after a few weeks on Tirz, but chalked it up to losing the weight and being able to move around better.

Thanks!

Definitely going to encourage them to do more investigation. It’s unlikely to be some other cause, but can't hurt to check.

Could you share the specific model you use for home BP monitoring, and if it comes in a large cuff size?

No, they haven't looked into the secondary causes, as far as I know.

Has your doctor looked into secondary causes of HTN? Stuff like renal artery stenosis, pheochromocytoma, etc.? Feels like those should be ruled out, too.

Are you still taking your BP medication? What's your dosage of reta?

I'm with you. I dislike the thought of needing meds forever. I hoped weight loss would get me off BP meds, but no luck. Same for metformin. I don't see a good reason to stop metformin usage though.

I did experiment with stacking reta with tirz. Didn't really see a difference versus only high dose tirz, like 13mg tirz vs 7.5 tirz+5reta, but I'm willing to try again. I'll stick with it longer next time. I'm guilty of eating lots of processed foods. I just started tracking sodium intake and...
