Taking 2.5mg with a 5mg pen ?

Hi everyone! I see the 5mg dose is only 70 euro more expensive than the 2.5 in chemist warehouse. Has anyone stayed on the 2.5 dose but used the 5mg pen? Will they give you extra needles If you ask, or only enough for 4 doses?

Thanks 🙏

Mounjaro and gaining (or at least maintaining) muscle?

Hi all. Those of you who are on mounjaro and have also focused on weightlifting, have you been able to maintain or gain muscle?

My Dr has prescribed me 2.5mg and I'm currently 106kg. I love weightlifting and running, but unfortunately I find it hard to control food cravings and snacking unnecessarily. I'm hoping mounjaro can help me with this. But I'm worried it will affect my gym / running. Has anyone else been successful in gaining some muscle while on mounjaro? How have you found it?

Thanks everyone.

Running with a pacemaker- any advice?

Hi guys,

So I've been running since March trying to do a couch to 5k. I'm really struggling and I think some of it is to do with my heart rate. My heart rate won't go any higher than 150bpm and once it reaches that it will drop dramatically, even if I'm still giving the same effort. It makes it feel super difficult to keep going as there's limited oxygen / bloodflow. If it reaches 150 it will then level out to about 100. My doctor even said that the lower heart rate makes it really difficult to do high intensity exercises because of the lower heart rate.

​

Does anyone have any advice for adjusting training? I've spoken with my doctors and they apparently changed something on my last visit a few weeks ago but I haven't noticed any major difference.

​

I have a congenital complete heart block and I'm 29 female, if that counts for anything 🤣
