I’ve been on MJ for nearly a year. Gone from BMI of 42.5 to 39. However, the improvements in my Crohn’s disease and inflammatory arthritis have been the main benefit to me! My Crohn’s has never been better, I am no longer panicking about where the nearest toilet is, and can, for the first time in years, eat fresh high fibre foods without it affecting me badly! My joint swelling goes down linked to when I inject, with swelling and pain increasing again prior to the next dose.

i cannot get the drug on the NHS as it’s not licensed for my conditions, and sadly looks like I will have to stop once the manufacturer price increase kicks in on 1 September.

No, you sign up as using Mounjaro before and you send proof of the last pen you purchased!!
You can change suppliers every month especially if you have a new customer discount code!

I don't think people should be encouraging others to stockpile, it risks supplies not being available.

It's like those buying 200 loo rolls during COVID. I'm alright Jack, sod the rest of you.

My supplier has already ran out of most doses except for 2.6 and some high doses. Looks like those who need a pen soonish may have to hunt around. Wonder if the suppliers will release new stock from 1st September onwards or if they are still supplying at the old prices.

My supplier has confirmed in my monthly renewal email that any new stock will only be giving out to existing customers, but that they can’t confirm supply before the 1st September. Le sigh.
