    1/? Mounjaro is incredible. Mounjaro is terrible. At the same time. You want some of the effects. You don't want some of the side-effects. It's a difficult balancing act. Other people on Mounjaro have it easier. Others have it much harder. But you'll do OK.

    2/? The four questions you originally came up withwere good, even if you could only answer 3:
    1. Do you want to do it?
    2. Can you actually get it?
    3. Can you afford it?
    4. Can you handle the side-effects?
    1 is important - it's not up to anyone else. 2 is just medical criteria. 3 is troubling but OK if it works. 4 is an unfair fucker of a question you'll have no idea how to answer until after you've tried, but so far so good!

    3/ Take photos. Lots of photos. Take photos of yourself, in minimal clothing, for comparison later when you feel like it’s not working. (Keep them private - do not feel you have to show these photos to anyone.) But also take photos of all prescriptions and labels - you will need these photos as evidence when ordering from different pharmacies.

    Eli Lilly are fuckers. 2 days after your first injection they put the price up 170%! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5ylpp

    And when Trump made a big deal of the US being the most favoured nation for pharma companies, most pharma companies lowered their US prices. Eli Lilly raised their prices everywhere else instead.

    Fuckers.

    You will miss the days when pooping was something that happened, rather than a process to be managed.

    @OpinionatedGeek I got those Amazon brand fiber gummies. I take 3 gummies a day (which is a little more than the suggested dose) and let me tell you, that's not an issue 😆

    Also: that fiber lowers your cholesterol by absorbing extra cholesterol in your gut and expelling it. Can't beat that!

    @harpaa01 Heh, psyllium husk is popular over here. I was just so used to not having to think about such things!
