MOUNJARO IN THE AUTUMN

AS I TYPE, it's gently raining outside and the fragrance is lovely.    I can hear the trickling of raindrops bouncing off the leaves of the trees.  Pitter pat.  The front door of the COTTAGE is open with the storm door's window raised allowing fresh air indoors.  Wonderful treat for nature as she needed some moisture.  

Strolling down memory lane.  When I was a young girl that got to spend time outdoors playing, I loved this time of year where the light cast a different shadow upon everything.  These present Autumn days brings fond memories back to me.  Oh, the rain is so refreshing.

The leaves of the three trees out front display Autumn at her best with the changing colors falling to the ground covering the grass in the lawn.  Fall y'all. 

 

 

GOT AROUND EARLY TO DRIVE TO MANHATTAN FOR MEDICAL APPOINTMENT.  Arrived and was weighed and got to see the doctor almost immediately.  Disappointed about my weight.  Sigh.  

I checked out fine and had a good visit with my primary physician. Secret is out.  8 weeks ago, I started MOURNJARO with the hopes of losing some weight.  I have been managing my type 2 diabetes by diet, but was hoping some weight would come off by taking Mounjaro.  Knowing it is a very expensive medicine, I was willing to sacrifice to lose weight. I stopped taking it last week as I had horrific side effects that were very unpleasant.  

Severe abdominal cramps
nausea
headache
constipation
indigestion
fatigue
irritation
sadness

I wasn't willing to have the side effects to lose weight.

Long term effects are not known and some say that taking this medicine will injure you.  I decided that I would be better off doing this weight loss thing the hard way.  So if it happens...time will tell.

I was one of those supposedly few that have terrible symptoms with Mounjaro.  I am working at changing by eating differently and walking.  AND AWAY I go.  No Mounjaro for me.
