Sleep Study in Life in General

So my doctor ordered a sleep study for me and I did that last night. It sucks ngl. I tend to take a while to fall asleep and so I need to freely shift around to stay comfortable, which is why I...


Took my second dose on Saturday and did increase up from 0.2 to 0.3mg. I’m starting to follow the faster dosing schedule since, so far, the nausea and side effects have been pretty mild for me. ...

So I went ahead and got a year supply of GLP1 ordered. It was crazy expensive but still way less than if I bought it name brand. I think it’s important I order it now considering how compounding...
