So first off I was so scared to jump to 5mg from 2.5mg of Mounjaro because of all the stories you hear about side effects! I had some with 2.5mg mostly just body soreness, headache and some gastrointestinal more if I injected in stomach.
But I am taking a daily probiotic and I eat enough fiber, and protein and water daily and some OTC for gas, or stomach upsets!
I was on 2.5 for 6 weeks! Did every injection area from left to right! My favorite without side affects are my thighs, but this last injection was a bit painful but I am ok…I think I still get control of suppression maybe a little less this week will be telling but I do feel more full not as hungry on 5mg, dinner last night I didn’t eat as much as I normally do, especially being 4th of July. I’m usually so hungry right now being 8am and I’m good!
I just feel way better on my 2nd day of 5mg. 1st day I was very sore but it also was 4th of July and we were very busy. I just want to say I’m glad I moved up to 5mg.
My least favorite area is my stomach because of more nausea and stomach gastrointestinal issues but I did lose 4 pounds with injections to stomach. I found that my arms I had some heart palpitations, and blood pressure was lower, female hormonal issues too, I do have a heart murmur, don’t know if it because closer to the heart?
I just feel thighs give me more energy and less side effects especially moving up in mg! I’m hoping the thighs will continue to help me lose weight too. The 2 main reasons I moved up was my fasting glucose level was creeping higher the longer I was on 2.5mg also weight was fluctuating from losing 4-5 pounds then gaining back. I knew it was time but I also wanted to see how each area on body reacted to the injections of Mounjaro. Probably will stay away from arm injections. I will use my thighs and stomach alternating. Anyone else have issues with arm injections with heart palpitations or female hormonal issues! I am 53 post menopausal, now that I think about it caused more anxiety to the arm injections, could have been hormonal too!
Well hopefully I can help someone out there to not be afraid of moving up to 5mg.
Any advice suggestions or experiences are welcome! Thanks for listening to my story!

I am going to try to make this short! But it might be too lengthy!
I am living in a non smoking apartment building and unit that my lease I signed states it is a non smoking property of any kind and no smoking anywhere on the premises. I’ve been dealing with second hand smoke from neighbors smoking cigarettes now for the last 6 months. I still have 6 months to go on my lease. I am miserable, I cannot sleep in my bed due to smoking all night hours and asthma attacks, and cannot sleep in my front room on couch because then they move to front area to smoke. It’s awful. It is affecting my everyday living, my work, my health, my attitude and anxiety and I am scared for my health as my Dr says I need to be in different living arrangements or accommodation and yes I just got a letter from the Dr. when I was seen.
My question is should I write a certified letter or email with my Drs letter attached asking to break my lease by the end of this month and do you think they will honor this? I have dates and times when the smoke was in my apartment, pretty much everyday. I have email trail and phone conversations and in person conversations with property manager. And should I list all of this in my email or letter? What would be the best way to go about breaking my lease. Should I go to regional or corporate managers and attach all emails, conversations, and my letter? Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

I have a neighbor who is smoking cigarettes in their apartment throughout everyday!
I have taken my complaint to apartment management! This is new tenant and I’ve been in my apartment for 5yrs, I am a good tenant with no issues. Late last week I heard back from my apartment management and they state they will take all measures seriously and have looked at complaints, so I must not be the only one. They also mention they will get this issue resolved! And if the smoking continues to let them know. Is a person who has a smoking habit almost chain smoking really going to stop? This is month 4 of the new tenant smoking! Anyone know what steps apartment managements take for indoor apartment cigarette smoking in a non- smoking building that our leases we signed say no smoking of any type in the apartment building, or 25ft of the building. Anyone have experience or know of anyone who has experience this and does it get resolved? Does the smoker get booted out? Thanks for your time!

Starting my 3rd week of 2.5mg MJ and I did a definite boo-boo ate 2 pieces of pizza for lunch and I’m miserable, 2wks ago it was not an issue, but man the Gerd, burps, and just feeling nauseous! To top that I have to do my 3rd shot tonight! Wish me luck! I have not had any side effects so far except today! The drug builds in our systems over time as I hear from others! It’s catching up to me! No more bad eating for me!
