    Spacing out doses?

    Thanks for the advice everyone! Really appreciate it. I'm thinking maybe I'll try lowering the dose a tiny bit and sticking to the 7-day schedule for now, like some of you suggested. Seems like the safest way to go given what I'm hearing.

    Spacing out doses?

    So, I'm on a GLP-1, and the usual is to dose every week. But with the new eating habits and a focus on cutting calories, I wonder if I could wait like, 9 or 10 days between doses? My doctor wants me to stick to the 7-day schedule. Anyone tried stretching out the time between shots? Does it mess...

    Mounjaro: A Year-Long Ride

    Yeah, the kitty litter analogy is hilarious and super motivating. A lot better than picturing bags of sugar or something.

    One year on GLP-1s!

    I was hesitant for a while. My provider just told me to focus on the first couple of doses, not the entire process. That helped a lot.

    GLP-1 Headaches: Dehydration?

    When I first started Tirz, I was getting low blood pressure and feeling dizzy. For months now, I've been having one LMNT electrolyte packet every morning in about 69 ounces of water. Rain or shine. I try to finish it before my coffee. Then I drink another 74 ounces of water during the day...

I was just watching, not participating, and that's going to change! Thank you SCIENCE! RESEARCHERS! and to my doctor (I have some liver issues) who said GET ON...

    Injection Site Reactions - where?!

    I had old pool test strips, so I tried them. Distilled water was neutral, as expected. Filtered water was too. One BAC water tested around 6.2, and the other, the one I had issues with, was around 7.5. Not sure it means anything, but it was interesting. BAC water isn't too expensive, so I'll...

    Injection Site Reactions - where?!

    Lucky! Mine are usually fine for a day then the redness, bump, and itching start. I need 4-5 days with no ISR to say it's probably solved. Ice helps a lot, then Zyrtec, and the topicals give a bit of itch relief.

    Injection Site Reactions - where?!

    It might have started after I changed BAC a while ago. The first few weren't too bad, but I'm not sure. I have smaller vials, so if my next BAC is bad, I can try another one soon. It's a good reason to buy small vials; I wouldn't want a big vial if the BAC causes problems.

    Injection Site Reactions - where?!

    ISRs and I are good friends now. My first few shots were fine. Now, all my recent injections and most other SubQ injections cause days of redness, bumps, and itching. I'm spacing out my injections more and not starting new cycles until I get this under control. Topicals don't help much, and...

    Injection Site Reactions - where?!

    I think their BAC water is different. What I got was labeled as a different brand. Haven't had problems with it yet, but I want to get a better-known brand soon. https://qualitypurewater.com/buy-2-get-1-free-reconstitution-solution-30ml/
