  • I thought I’d pop on quickly to answer a couple of questions that lots of you have been asking. I hope this gives you the answers but if you need to know anything further please do ask.
    I am paying for this privately but still adhering to the required eligibility for Mounjaro to be prescribed.
    I am using the online pharmacy Med Express www.medexpress...
    Some people are able to get some GLP-1’s on the NHS - you should speak with your GP if you think you would be eligible
    There is some further info about NHS obesity on this link

    I love that you said not to be disheartened if your GP is dismissive of your enquiry - Nurses since the dawn of time have always been wiser than Dr's about things, so the fact you said GPs need educating is no surprise 😉
    Years ago I remember talking to Nurses about the veins in my legs and being really properly heard, whereas my GP (at the time) just told me outright, "women get veins." 😦 I thought he was going to tell me to run along and knit a kitten or something that women should be doing instead of bothering him!
    Even though this is not something I can do, I am finding learning about it all really interesting, so thank you for sharing this part of your weight loss journey with us all.

      Oh my Lord … it’s actually shocking some of the stories I’ve heard about GPs (and a few nurses to be fair). I can’t believe that attitude! Sadly though lots of doctors project their own thoughts rather than following current guidelines. Many are out of date and are stuck in out of date practice. The introduction of ANPs at gp surgeries is really good for patients. They generally are much more helpful and follow guidelines much more closely xxx
      I really appreciate your ongoing support ♥️

    I hadn’t seen you UA-cam channel until today, I bit the bullet and ordered my first Mounjaro injection pen on Friday and was approved the same day with Zavamed. I had to weigh myself and take photo of me on the scales showing my weight with the date written on a piece of paper on top of the scales, then I had to do a full body side view not wearing baggy clothes, again I had to hold a piece of paper with the date on it in my hand so it could be seen, it’s a bit tricky when you live alone. My only concern is my parcel was dispatched Friday night but I didn’t receive it until today, it was well packaged but the bag inside wasn’t still like ice it was watery but was cool/cold to the touch. I put my Mounjaro in my fridge and sent a message to them to see if it is still ok to use, still waiting for a reply. I was planning to start today but think I may hold off until next Sunday like yourself. In my mind it makes sense to start on a day you will remember best and Sunday/Monday dos that for me,is there any good time to take like am or pm? Feeling little apprehensive now but I know I’ve got to do this for me which in turn will help my health conditions as I have Bronchiectasis, Atelectasis, Fibromyalgia & ME. I have subscribed to your channel so will watch you journey as I start mine, and it’s so good to find someone in the UK who is doing this, so thank you. 💕

      Hi there and Thankyou so much for subscribing to my channel… I really appreciate it. I’m pleased you have decided to start your journey. I think it’s normal to feel a little anxious before you start. I hope zava get back to you soon. I have heard quite a lot of people say the ice packs from them weren’t frozen on arrival. I’m sure that as long as they are still cold though it’s ok. See what they say sweetie. My next pen is due to arrive in the next couple of days. I plan to film unboxing it to show what I check when it arrives.
      Let me know how you get on when have started sweetie. Glad to have you here xxx❤️

    Thanks for sharing your story. I'm paying privately myself too despite being Type 2, BMI over 35, High blood pressure. I started with Medexpress but have made the decision to use my local pharmacy now, its costs more but I have that reassurance knowing my pharmacist is keeping an eye on me - she interviews me each 4 weeks to make sure I'm doing ok. I'm in week 7 on 5mg, lost 10kg so far thanks to walking over 10k steps a day and eating a max of 1400 cals per day. I'll stay on 5mg for another 4 weeks as I'm going on holiday and don't want to risk side effects hitting in on the higher dose, only had constipation so far - can handle that. Very little appetite suppression so far and food noise is still there, so can't wait for the higher doses to kick in soon!

      Hi, Thankyou so much for sharing here. I think it’s such a shame you aren’t getting this on the nhs but you can’t go wrong investing in your own health. I think you are really sensible having face to face consultations especially with your health concerns. You are just a couple of weeks ahead of me so it’s lovely to have someone to chat to about this ♥️. I hope you have a lovely holiday. I’m looking at going abroad mid July (not booked yet) and I also think I’ll stay on 5mg for the extra 4 weeks.
      It sounds like you are doing fantastic! I’m sure the higher dose will start to address the suppression etc that you are needing. Take care and please do keep me updated with your journey xxx♥️

    Hi Marcia, I have applied for monjaro with your provider but had difficulties going the ID process as have paper driving licence and no current passport as I have been too ill to fly. Anyway now just waiting for approval. Med express have removed all discount codes on weight management treatments and I have read correspondence dated early June stating same, however they are still less expensive than some other providers. I do not trust FB full of scams. Thanks for sharing and take care x.

    • @ladymawa
      @ladymawa  3 місяці тому

      Hi hunny. Yes I think it’s better that there are no discounts. Hopefully it will lead to all pharmacies being priced more reasonably which should hopefully encourage staying with the same provider. I believe the STARTNOW code is still working. A couple of others have told me it applied successfully today.
      Wishing you every success on your journey. I honestly believe this is an absolutely incredible drug. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have ♥️♥️♥️ Good luck xx
