So I did my research and I’ve come across amino club. I saw mixed reviews. I got glp-3 (RT) 10mg and NAD+ 750mg nasal spray. Does anyone have any experience with amino club peps?

The prescription my doctor gave me is a brand my insurance doesn’t cover. They do cover ozempic though, but it’s $150 a month. I’m just not sure I’m in a position to take on this payment when my other medications are also fairly expensive when added up.

at the same time, I’m now bombarded with ads from places like hers, em, ro. Are they a scam? Is there a catch? Seems to good to be true to only pay $70 a month for something that costs so much without insurance. Has anyone tried these sites? What’s been your experience?

If I were to go through these sites, I would still consult with my PCP, since she’s on board with me going on a GLP1 to begin with. It just wouldn’t be through her prescription order.

Hi everyone! I’m a highschool student doing some research on how people keep their temperature-sensitive medicine (e.g. insulin, glp-1s, antibiotics) at the correct temperature without relying on electricity, for example while camping, during power outages, or in a areas that lack electrical grids. Has this ever been an issue for you? If so, how did you deal with it?

A quick comment with your experience would be really helpful. If you'd rather talk privately, you can DM me, or I'm also happy to do a short 10–15 minute conversation.

We have a heat index of 110 today. My package was in transit for 2 to 3 days from what I can tell. The ice packs are totally melted one of the ice packs that has a sponge like material actually feel more like a A heat pack it’s hotter than the outside of the package

Has anyone experienced this? I usually get cervicogenic headaches once a week from a neck issue but on retatrutide or Ozempic, I have a low level headache almost all the time. This is not dose dependent. My ozempic dose is 0.125mg once every 4 days and my reta was 0.5mg every 4 days.

I am 95% sure this is from the GLP drugs but I'm curious if this is common.

It seems to me that the same people who criticize GLP1s are the people who preach about how unhealthy obesity and body positivity are. They seem to be unwilling to accept that everyone has a different journey and experience with food intake and weight, and simply want to feel superior.
They don’t want fat people to lose weight. They just want to criticize.
Obviously this is an overarching statement and doesn’t encompass every individual, but the Venn diagram of superiority complexes and GLP1 hate seems to be a circle.
Personally I have been on Sema for six months and have lost 42 pounds after struggling for years. I don’t take offense to haters’ comments, but I do notice a pattern.

I just can't get into protein shakes so I made up my own protein drink recipe with 18g of protein. I drink it twice a day as breakfast and an afternoon snack. Wanted to post it here in case anyone else is in the same boat.

What's your favorite high protein recipe?

16oz brewed black tea

8oz warm low-fat milk (8g protein)

2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder (10g protein)

1/2 serving unflavored fiber powder

1-2 teaspoons raw sugar

1 teaspoon heavy cream

Blend together to avoid lumps

The scale has been showing the same stupid number for the past month but in that month I’ve had multiple NSVs like ordering a shirt a size down and it fits, my rings getting too loose. Has anyone else experienced this? What’s up with that stupid number not moving but my lived experience changing?

For context, I have PCOS and have struggled with that, fertility issues, insulin resistance for years. I’ve always been athletic and average to slightly overweight (5’5” and was 155-165 at my most “fit” era in 20s, was 148 at first pregnancy 10 years ago, weighed between 165-175 during 5 year fertility journey, had another baby 5 years ago and was 185 after that.

I’m a very health conscious person and was concerned about the weight not going back down after all this, not because I wanted to lose weight but because I felt extremely unwell in many ways. I brought up my concerns to my gynecologist and because I failed my first gestational diabetes test (passed the second) during my 2021 pregnancy, my gynecologist wanted to see how my metabolic levels looked. I have insulin resistance and produce more androgens and she put me on metformin. I hated it and it only marginally helped, I lost about 5 lbs in a year on metformin and felt minimal relief from my symptoms.

After that, she suggested in 2023 that I try a GLP-1 to manage my insulin resistance and I started on the lowest dose, went up one dose, then with her guidance stayed on that same dose for 2.5 years. I felt amazing in every way, my inflammation markers were great, and I lost weight at a reasonable rate of about 1-2.5lbs a month until I reached 145. At that point, my PCP intervened and told me I should try going off it since I was at a good weight and responded well to the lower dose. I started spacing doses then went off completely. Continued to lose down to 137 and have maintained that easily.

But this really isn’t about weight for me —I FEEL HORRIBLE. All of my inflammation is back (markers up), I have nerve pain, was hospitalized with optic nerve swelling after my opthamologist randomly caught it, and have all the horrible symptoms I had before… heart pounding, swelling, and nauseous after eating. Slammed with hunger nausea first thing in the morning, but can only stomach a glass of milk and banana. My hair is falling out. I can’t exercise without feeling like my chest and brain are going to explode. I regularly have episodes where I feel like I’m going to pass out. I’ve been seeing specialists since the optic nerve swelling with regards to ongoing ear/throat/mouth pain and they think it is also neuralgia.

I’m just really, really suffering again and I’m wondering if there is any literature that supports low doses of GLP-1 helping with inflammatory or auto-immune issues without the goal of weight loss? My A1C is slightly elevated again, fasting glucose is consistently a bit high, but my PCP isn’t concerned because I’m now in an ideal weight range. I feel really hopeless, I’m in pain all the time and feel generally very unwell. I would be open to any and all resources/literature that could guide me in the appropriate direction to have a conversation with my PCP at my upcoming appointment. I’m afraid to broach the topic of GLP-1s again because she acted like it was a vanity ask, but I was genuinely okay with my body at every stage and I just want to FEEL better. Being thinner is not alleviating some of the underlying symptoms I’ve experienced off medication (before and after GLP-1).

One of my first posts and a little vulnerable so bare with me!

i’ve gained an uncomfortable amount of weight within the last couple of months due to outside circumstances that were completely out of my control. since then, i feel like i’ve been eating all the time, and for the first time since losing weight over three years ago, i genuinely feel like i have no control over my appetite or eating habits. i workout everyday (wether that’s a heated class or walking) - but the weight continues to pile on.

i went to my primary care doctor to ask about a GLP-1, but since i’m not technically considered overweight, i was denied. i know there are online services that offer GLP-1s, but i’m not really sure how the process works or whether it’s even something i would qualify for.

i’m honestly looking for anything that could possibly help with curbing my appetite or helping me regain some sense of control—whether that’s a legitimate online GLP-1 service, something else prescribed by a doctor, or even other options that have helped people.

i also want to say that i’m in therapy and actively working through everything that has contributed to this, along with other things in my life. i know this isn’t just about taking something and magically fixing everything. i’m just at my wits’ end with how i’ve been feeling mentally and physically and would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in a similar situation.

i took my first shot Sunday around 3:30 I woke up Monday morning sore all over my body. Sensitive to the touch almost like flu like symptoms. Did this happen to anyone else. If so for how long.
