[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These medications have been amazing for me but I get very depressed now over not being able to find the medications. I started on wegovy which I experienced annoying side effects then moved to mounjaro which was amazing with no side effects.

I don't focus on the amount of weight I've lost so I can't share how much. I'm most impressed by the improvements in swelling and arthritis pain. I've always loved exercising but knee problems and arthritis changed my life drastically. For decades after a bout with 2 different tick diseases, I've had horrible issues with swelling particularly in one ankle/foot that nothing would help. I've been allergy tested, done restrictive diets etc and nothing seemed to help.

I've been steadily, slowly losing weight. My ac is fantastic now, my blood pressure is improved, and the weird swelling problems I had stopped very soon after I started taking wegovy. I do not understand what changed. I've been on restrictive diets, cut out processed foods, ate clean mostly vegetarian and nothing helped. Wegovy improved that almost immediately.

I am having fewer arthritis issues and am exercising without crippling pain. This medication is amazing for me but not being able to find a place to get it is overwhelming. My doctor gave me a prescription for zepbound as my numbers improved enough my insurance won't cover wegovy/mounjaro.

Navigating the issues of trying to find the medication is depressing. I've given up on my insurance paying any portion of this. These medications have been life changing for me and for those of you who think those of us on them are lazy fat people, you're wrong. You would be stunned by my work out and that I am not consuming lots of calories and I am not an idiot about food.

How do the rest of you deal with the psychological impact of not being to find the medication?[/quote]ok I guess. I e had to take three month breaks in wegbound before and I continued to eat less, on my own volition.[/quote]
