Could I have some advice please? Even just some sympathy? Or shared experiences?

[Mounraine]

I'm feeling really low.

I won't go in to all of the ins and outs of the last five weeks but I have had five weeks of constant vertigo or dizziness. I'm so sick of feeling ill and fatigued and struggling to get a doctor to take me seriously. I don't know if it's the MJ or coincidence, but when I finally got a GP appointment he wouldn't discuss it anyway as it's a private prescription. And the pharmacy hasn't replied to my email.

Also my period has started this morning, about 4 days late, and I'm hitting the biscuits and caffeine again for the first time in about 6 weeks. This could be the reason for my weepiness and self-pity today.

After two years of overhauling my diet and IF and getting nowhere, MJ was really giving me some hope. I could even hit my goal by Christmas. Unbelievable

I'm not sure whether to:
A) push through and get the weight off for the sake of a miserable few months OR
b) leave pen #2 in the fridge, take a good few months off and start again if the pharmacy will support a break (I'm now below BMI 30 after losing 11lb with my first pen).

Please be kind, I'm really not feeling robust today :(

Both bradycardia (slow heart rate) and tachycardia (fast heart rate) can trigger dizziness and vertigo.

interestingly, my heart rate is fine, apart from it peaked to cardio zone whilst in the first GP appointment last week. It spiked higher than when I do a cardio gym class!

OP I had to come off Mountjaro as it made me feel so awful and gave me terrible heart palpitations. I’m with Juniper and they were fantastic, although more expensive. They suggested I started Wegovy on the smallest dose. Been on it for 2 weeks now and fingers crossed with minimal side effects although the weight loss has stalled a bit. May be worth swapping to that?

I’m going to go for it. I’m going to continue with pen 2 tomorrow on 2.5mg as planned.

How are you doing Mounraine?

Thank you for asking. I took the jab about an hour ago. I am feeling in a strong position at last; confident and in control. I'll take it a week at a time.

Good luck!
