I've just ordered!

Hi, I've just ordered from Medexpress my first MJ pen. I'm not sure how I feel about it.
It's saying it can take 3/4 days for the prescription to be processed which I wasn't expecting. I'm really nervous about the whole thing and starting to regret ordering already. Anyone else waiting to start?

Hey. I have my pen in the fridge waiting to start this evening. There's a 'Late September Starters' thread on here with a few of us who have only just started or who have ordered and are waiting to start. If you want to pop along for some company? Smile

Most of us are scared once we make that first order and doubt ourselves if it's the right thing to do.
But in no time at all you'll wish you'd done it sooner.

Honestly, I was so nervous taking my first. I have a fear of needles so it’s not ideal to be self injecting.

I have now taken 3 and already it doesn’t feel like a big deal. It’s been great. I have had very few side effects. I was constipated at bit at first, but I make sure I eat ground flaxseed most days and it’s resolved it.

Just ordered my second pen and honestly, it’s already the best thing I have done for myself in years. I am very over weight had had several conditions that are made worse by being over weight. I don’t regret it for a minute. But I did have a few wobbles between ordering and doing the first one.

Take a look at some of the running support threads. There’s loads of advice and information in them.

I ordered from medexpress yesterday. Had to retake the photo of my id this morning and my perception was issued around lunchtime. Hoping I will get it early next week.

think I will wait till the weekend to take it - don’t want any side effects in work.

I have my first pen in fridge waiting to go. Nervous to start!

@DragonmotherKhaleesi i am Medexpress too - website says mine dispatched at 5pm, and tracking says it should arrive tomorrow.

I ordered last night and have to give extra information this morning. So very fast

Brilliant. I'm with Medexpress and have found them fab.

I kept putting it off and my one and only regret is not having started sooner. I look and feel so much better and can still enjoy myself (way more than any diet I've been on when I felt guilty if I went out/had some chocolate/ate out etc). You'll be grand!

DragonmotherKhaleesi · 21/09/2024 20:20

Well, it's arrived today. Can't fault the service and the process. I'm planning on starting tomorrow.

How long can you keep it in the fridge until you start do you know? X

It should have a use by date on it.

You must use it within 30 days of opening. But it can last unopened in the fridge until the date that’s on it.
