Another calm and supportive thread to discuss the Price Increases: Mounjaro THREAD TWO

[TryingAgainAgainAgain]

Keep calm and carry on discussing The Pendemic…

(sorry)

Now that made me laugh, pendemic… love it 🤣

Stolen from Reddit, @Itscoldouthere.

Joining again. A bit less panicked with one pen but still undecided on what to do next

That’s very good!

With everyone ordering pens in advance of needing them it’s really going to throw the stock assessment of some online pharmacies out of the window. Makes you wonder if there will be more stock issues in a few months when people need to replenish pens.

Pendemic!

Joining The Pendemic 🤣

Possibly but the number of people taking MJ will drop and the numbers of new customers will slow too. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I need to stop reading these threads as it makes me want to panic buy! Although can’t stop because you lovely lot are my source of info!

It’s quite interesting watching it all play out now. Sort of like sitting back and watching the best and worst of society all interacting

Posting to keep an eye on the thread.

Certainly don’t need to stock up on toilet roll, the constipation is still there a year on!

I’m so relieved, my usual provider is pharmacy2u and was ordering as normal when all this kicked off on Saturday and was convinced I wouldn’t get a pen but approved today! Amid all this I’m convinced that’s a good approval time

lactulose is your friend

pendemic - Very good @TryingAgainAgainAgain

They impressed me, I ordered on Thursday evening as a new customer. Pen was delivered Monday morning at 9:30am. They turned it around quickly in what must have been chaos.

@TryingAgainAgainAgain i ordered from Farmeci last Friday morning and had heard nothing. I sent an email chasing yesterday as the price had gone up over 25% since I'd ordered and wanted to know if they'd honour the original price. Within 3 minutes I'd had the email saying they had approved the order, it must have been fluke rather than them waiting for me to email them. However, I requested 2 pens and they've only charged me for one so guessing that's all that's coming and today had the email from RM to say it's being delivered tomorrow. Fingers crossed you hear from them soon

Yh, funny, pendemic. I laughed at the poster who said that nearly all the people queueing up in boots were all waiting for their Mounjaroas. I’ve got a couple of pens in stock. Lotus accepted my purchase at the beginning of the week for 2 more, but still no sign of any pens in the post. To be honest, I’m just so ‘over it’ now I couldn’t care less if I never saw another Mounjaro pen ever again (I may have to eat my words there!).

Thank you, @JabbaJibba. My order isn't showing at all on their website, which seems not very hopeful, but I can't remember how it usually appears.

Mine didn't either, the only thing I had was an email saying thanks for competing your follow up form. To the point I was thinking how could I challenge them if they charged me the higher price as I had no evidence of the lower price.

Thank you so much, @JabbaJibba, that gives me hope. I can't actually remember what I ordered or what it cost (I was in full panic mode). Whatever arrives will be welcome.

I will exchange my fruit and veg. for your loo rolls. 🙄

I’m going to suggest psyllium for both of you! It balances out your bowel function so that you don’t get either extreme…

Mix a teaspoon in half a glass of hot water, top up with cold, and follow with another glass of water.

If they're all so angry, why not vote with their feet and go elsewhere?

I love ‘pendemkc’. You could say the last week has been pendemonium.

Replying on here as the previous thread is full, @BendoftheBeginning... It isn't a third party ad spot, it's a "Promoted by Mumsnet". But on the link itself it's not marked as such. It's marked as "Created by Zava" but written by Mumsnet's Senior Content Editor.

I had a very similar experience with Farmeci. I hadn't heard anything for a week, then yesterday a reply to my email and a subsequent order put through.

Their initial email the day of the announcement implied you could order multiple pens. I was a little frustrated with yesterday's reply telling me that they'll only send you one additional pen.
