Starting Mounjaro with a heavy cold

[QueenKong101]

Hi - would appreciate advice from experienced MJ users, please!

I was about to order my first pen in August but for the last four weeks have had an awful respiratory virus — think hacking cough, blocked sinuses, runny nose, wheezy chest etc.

Half of me thinks I should plough on and just deal with any MJ side effects as I'm already feeling ill anyway. The other half of me is hesitant as I've been feeling so rough so am worried about potentially making myself feel even worse.

Should I go for it or just be patient and wait a couple more weeks? I'm really driving myself insane dithering!

no tried the smallest does and IT TOOK ME OUT!
DO NOT DO THIS
start small and then get bigger
the smallest dose gave me hypoglycemia

That's more than a heavy cold, so I think I'd wait until you're not experiencing as many symptoms, ideally none. You might be ok and not have any side effects but it depends if you think you could manage with some digestive upset/tiredness on top of how you currently are.

The pen will keep in the fridge until it's expiry date if unused, so you could order now and then you have it when you feel up to it.

Thanks for this and sorry to hear that it made you so unwell. I certainly will be starting from 2.5 and seeing how I go from there!

All good points, thank you. I may well order then see how I'm feeling. I've never had a virus cling on for dear life like this one has, not even when I had Covid!
