Mounjaro October starters - Thread 4

[JustKeepsBreathing]

Number 3 was almost full so hope it’s okay to start a new one @YummyCookie

This is a fast moving group but so useful 😀

oh maybe it’s the hypermobility as I’ve got that too.

Never had sciatica before so it was a bit of a shocker

Has anyone ordered from IQ Doctor?

Ordered my second pen this morning (5mg this time), sent photos, driving license and proof of previous 2.5mg order and paid for next day delivery but it's currently still pending. Seems unlikely it'll arrive tomorrow but I'm not in on Thursday!

Just wondered how others have got on with IQ Doctor?

@crumbsonmyface still really elevated. Much better but not nice at all.

I ordered my next pen when I took my third so I knew it was becoming less effective so have gotten the 5 mg dose for the next one.

I changed pharmacy from asda to oushk and they were fine to give me the higher dose.
Edited to add I did need to submit evidence of my previous dose so a photo of the box with my name on it.

Brilliant that helps thanks!

I still can't believe that I stick a tiny needle in my leg once a week and potentially my world changes! :-)

I’m due my 5th injection on Thursday. This last week my weight loss has slowed (but still a very acceptable .5 - 1kg) and I am feeling hungry at times. And the joint pain in my fingers has recurred (that disappearing was an awesome bonus!). So I’m thinking I’m ready to increase the dose.

Also, I think I shall switch from Voy to Oushk. I’m unimpressed with Voy - I’d been happy to stick with the more expensive supplier for the additional support, but find they don’t tend to reply to emails or WhatsApps.

@RunSlowTalkFast I ordered from IQ Doctor last week, my dispatch email came a couple of hours after I’d ordered and the pen arrived the next day. I wonder if they’ve got a bit busier as they were one of the cheaper ones? Fingers crossed yours comes tomorrow!

I am still plodding along. No side effects to speak off and sufficient suppression to stop me reaching for snacks and overeating. I find i am not really focussed on eating or what i am going to eat. All in all it's working out nicely so far.

My 5mg is out for delivery. Was supposed to be here between 2 and 3 but the little dpd van on the map has stopped moving and there's a note saying it's running late. No one is going to be in from 6pm though so now I'm worried about it not being chilled enough if it arrives tomorrow. Although I'm sure it'll be fine. Possibly more fine that the poor dpd driver that appears to have broken down somewhere!

Mine always comes the day after it is supposed to and it is always cold still.

Thank you for the new thread!

I’m 10lbs down in four weeks and start 5mg tomorrow. I’ve been very lucky with limited side effects - some nausea, but nothing dramatic - so hoping the move up will be similar.

Someone was asking about periods on the previous thread. Mine was a week late and I felt very flu/migraine-y in the run up to it.

I have a wedding to go to over Christmas and I had bought a beautiful dress to wear. I’m a bit worried it’ll be too big and debating whether I can find a local dressmaker to take it in.. I just don’t want to leave it too late and look like I’m wearing a sack of potatoes.

OMG YES!

normally I can never remember dreaming but Iv been dreaming nearly every night and they are so wild.

Iv had a women giving birth in my house.
my house was on fire and the police showed up.
someone broke into my house looking for their driving license that I found on my bedroom floor and I refused to give it back to him 😂

another dream I found my husband in bed with another women 😂😂 she was a nurse and in her full nurse uniform.

mental.

Mines to get into the next stone category and to lose another stone by Xmas!

I ordered my 5mg pen from them.
ordered on a Monday and received the next day. No issues at all with them.
its sat in the fridge to use next week now

Just checking in. 1 Stone 4lb lost so far!

Feeling a bit ‘off’ tonight.

I just had a small treat size pack of fizzy worms from the kids Halloween sweets and now I feel odd. Stomach is churning.

@TheAmazingShrinkingWoman - Well done! Amazing.

@SunQueen24 - that really sucks, when do you have your next jab? I've got mine on Thursday and really hoping it's an anxiety-free one this week!

Wow!! That's fantastic, well done :)

I honestly feel like a different person.

Quick list of NSVs:

These things are easier:
Moving around
Getting up from sofa/chair
Getting in and out of the car
Bottom wiping!

These things are better:
Foot pain
Achy legs
Asthma
Eczema
Joint pain

Thanks for the new thread!

Next Sunday technically. I really don’t think I’ll continue - I can’t feel as anxious and down as this and still function, it’s been quite difficult!

Fantastic

Hi all, just taken number 4, have lost 10lb so far. Is everyone still getting side effects after each jab? Feel terrible today (disclaimer I did 2.5 plus half the bonus dose) but it might be the tiny amount of kfc I had last night....

Need to order the next pen and not sure what to order.

@RunSlowTalkFast - I switched and ordered with IQ doctor last week. It did take a couple of days to be approved but then it was delivered really quickly.
