After 4 months, I am finally able to start taking #Mounjaro again. Between my insurance not wanting to pay for it and simply not being able to find it, I haven't had it since January.

I had forgotten how nasty the first two weeks make me feel I have done nothing but vomit for 24 hours. I feel like crap, but I know from experience that this will pass and I will be fine.

Ugh.

@kura Trying to figure out how to take my temperature without TOUCHING IT...

I've got arthritis in my right knee. In September, I got a cortisone shot and it fixed things for three weeks. Then something shifted in my knee and it felt like I was being stabbed in the leg... for days.
I've just had a second cortisone shot, but this time my leg is swollen and aching from mid-thigh to mid-calf.
If this doesn't help, the only next step is a total knee replacement.
Fuck.
(Right now, I just want my leg to stop aching. Ow.)

Today in unusual #MedicalStuff I see a pt complaint of shoulder pain. Doctor treats pt based on an X-ray from 2000. I know we want to reduce radiation, but I’m wondering if anything at all might have changed in the 22 years since that #imaging #xray #radiology

My body hates me.
I need a liver biopsy.
Also need to see a urologist.
Going to the infectious disease doc.
Blah!
