Does anyone know what brand of sock this is? It has no tags or markings and it has an oversized or stretched out look to it. I wear it as a 2nd pair of sleeping socks during winter and would like another pair. I bought them at a thrift store (and sanitized it) so I have no idea where or when it was bought
I take my 5th dose tonight and have gotten a lot of help from reading others posts so here is another new user report.
I had never considered taking a GLP-1 but my A1C was high again and the Dr suggested i try one. I only had about four days between being prescribed and starting Mounjaro and was quite concerned about side effects.
It was also hard to imagine how it would effect my hunger. Id never considered food noise. I do think about food all day though. At meal times I tend to be starving and I honestly don't really feel full while I am eating. Its usually: starving, eating or stuffed. I don't know if my body doesn't process the normal GLP-1 as it should or if its leftover from a poor childhood but If there's food I can eat it.
I took my 1st shot (2.5) on a Friday evening and I was somewhat expecting immediate nausea or such. At the worse I felt like I had minor sunburn aches for the 1st two days. No nausea, burps or diarrhea.
The only negative side effect I have had, so far, has been 2 days of constipation which has worked into a daily hard to pass poop but has been getting better with some fiber and prunes.
I never expected so much quick, good results though. Most surprising i have had bad fatigue for the last 3 years after starting a beta blocker. Ive barely had any energy to go to the gym and its a been a struggle to do anything before 6:30 in the morning. Day 1 of Mounjaro I was wide awake by 4 o'clock. Monday I was at the gym by 6 and have made it before work every day and have even started a morning weight class that I haven't done since 2020.
My morning sugar levels are down from around 150 to 105 or less. The day it read 84 I thought the meter had broke. My hunger is almost gone. I still feel like I need to eat at meal times but its muted and im only eating half or less than usual. I still don't get full feeling while eating but can feel satisfied with a smaller portion.
Weirdly, food tastes so much better. A pickle blew me away it was so good. I had some salsa and I can feel it all the way across my tongue. So far I have been able to eat any food I want, just less of it.
I lost 9 pounds the first month and have less pain in my hands and body.
I feel very lucky to only have good results so far and for the 1st time I can tell that a medicine is working. I am going to do another month at 2.5 and see how it goes. I would be fine staying at this dose if I continue to have controlled eating and improved energy even if it means slower weight loss.
It ended up being a longer post than I was expecting but I really appreciate the people who are active here and it has helped me to prepare. If you are considering starting and worried about side effects there is hope for minor problems with good results.
I've used Old Spice Fresh Scent since i first started wearing deodorant in the 90s and have found it lacking the last couple of years. Im not getting stinky during the day but I feel sticky mid day and irritated feeling if I don't reapply around lunch time.

I suspect it is a formula change but it could be a change in my body with age. Has anyone else had similar issues with them or suggestions for an affordable replacement. I tend to have a hard time changing with scents and feel especially after so many years of one product.
