@ObsidianTree it's definitely 11/2025 as I triple checked after seeing the 11. I have pens already that cover me for the next few months so couldn't fit another Nov 24 expiry into my schedule

Having just checked the fridge now the box is way colder than it was before so I think it might have been over 8 degrees for a little while. Hopefully not long enough to make it degrade.

Great thanks. That's good to know.

Hopefully your pen will be good to use

Just saw this for those wanting 15mg and to use soon

Someone from the Continuing MJ thread has also had issue with Medexpress wanting to see medical records, although seems you can supply them yourself if GP refuses to do so:

I’ll definitely be offski if med express ask about medical records, my BMI is still overweight and I’ve got my order history as well as the box from my 10mg pen so shouldn’t have any issues finding a new provider.

Will get photos at the ready but also need to check about signatures, never been asked for one for any of my med express deliveries or for anything at all other than alcohol, even if I’m in posties/other delivery people usually just drop and run.

Which supplier is this for? Sorry if I'm blind!

Just realised it's Oshik. I ordered a 15mg pen before that offer but assumed it would be a Feb 25 dated. It better be! I don't want old stock.
Good offer though if you can fit the pen in before expiry.

This is so helpful - thank you.

I’ve found a private prescriber who is happy to prescribe maintenance. He prescribes my Botox and has done for years so I’m happy to use him. I’ve got an online appt with him tomorrow so will feed back how it goes and what the prices are like.

Ah I'm glad @AgathaMystery That's great news you've found a maintenance prescriber, such a relief isn't it. Hope your chat tomorrow goes well.

Is anyone watching 'The Skinny Jab' on ITV? Just started. Should be interesting..

I just got 15mg, long dated for £165, so £160 for a short date isn't really a huge discount.
I would be wanting it a lot less than that!

Lol you're right. But good value for Oushk as I paid £201 with delivery with Oushk! That's with £25 off!

Where did you get your pen from?

Was it good? I'll try and watch it at some point

Dammit I thought I put it in my post!
e Surgery.
No idea what they are like but it's been straight forward so far .

I think they'll claim they gave a balanced view but as usual the positives were overshadowed by the stories of people buying fake drugs from beauticians and T2 diabetics not being able to get their ozempic 🙄

Mounjaro was mentioned briefly but it was mainly Semaglutide being spoken about.

Hmm, so not balanced at all! I won't watch it then! Lol!

It's mad because this medication is amazing and has so much potential to cure obesity! Yet the media et al only want to look at the negatives!

Maybe the program was paid for by the big processed food, fast food companies as they are losing a lot of money and want to put people off weight loss drugs as its hurting their profit!

Oh yea the food industry is sobbing to lose all its fatties
prob sponsored by Kellogg

@BlackFriYay
I'd like to know where i can get that 'Placebo' medication from - it sounds like a miracle drug and might be a bit cheaper.

Wouldn't surprise me! Also the government probably make a lot on the sugar tax!

Indeed! The fast food companies must be feeling the hit of so many people changing their lifestyles in favour of healthier living. MJ really has changed my life.

I was fascinated by that ladies story of receiving a placebo and losing a load of weight because she said she had quite significant side effects didn't she! Psychosomatic or a sensitivity to whatever was in the placebo? What even is the placebo? So many questions!

I was gobsmacked by that woman, where was the evidence, what gave her the SEs, who knew fat is just a state of mind? - my OH summed that bit up as a 'load of bollocks' 😅

I think he sums that up well 😂

Hoping there isn't a thread about it on AIBU later! Where the anti jab crew use that program as fact to try and prove they are right.

Why would there be an anti jab crew.

I think slimming world is basically a con but I’m not going around telling people they shouldn’t do it if it works for them

It's any excuse to have a pop at fat people I think.
