Compounding Pharmacies v. FDA?

I checked your location for a second. I thought you were a nurse in the Bay Area. You live in a place where nurses get paid peanuts. I was making $106 an hour while getting cussed at, spit at, clawed, and hit. (That was 4 years ago. A San Fran nurse is up to $147 an hour.) You need a raise. Sorry.

That's 2.5x what I make in MO. Cost of living, sure, but still! Slave wages.

The pay is insane but I called it living in purgatory. My husband got promoted and I followed 2 years later. Met some nice people but I was VERY happy to move back home to the OC. Even though the pay is 25% less now. But the cancer is spreading in California, someday there will be no pockets of decency left.

My little IV job is bad pay but easy work. Since I flunked retirement I am not there for the money, just to get out of the house. The clients *want* to be there and no more nastiness, win, win.

I'd take less pay for easier work, especially if the patients actually want to be there.

 

[Patti_Real]

You're right. Looks like they filed for a temporary restraining order on Tuesday.

I'm wondering if the shortage is REALLY over... Seems like a lot of people are still struggling to get their scripts filled.

 

[Patti_Real]

That's a valid point. It may be that there's technically enough supply, but distribution is still a mess. Or maybe the 'shortage' designation was lifted prematurely.

Yeah, tell that to my refrigerator full of vials and pens.

LOL! Right there with ya!

I saw someone on Reddit say they've managed to lose 30% of their starting weight after a year on Ozempic. That's pretty amazing. Even with supply issues!

30%? Wow! That's inspiring. I'm only down about 15% so far, but I've only been at it for a few months. Gotta keep pushing!

Good reminder from Reddit: Mounjaro has a half-life of about 5 days, meaning it takes around a month to be completely out of your system. So if you're having trouble getting it, don't freak out *immediately*. Withdrawal effects are real, but it takes time for the drug to leave your body.
