I'm 10 days in to using ivermectin cream and whilst my skin feels really smooth it itches SO MUCH around my jawline. I initially put it down to me trying a new suncream for my face but I stopped that over a week ago and I'm still finding that I'm so itchy I could scratch my face off. It's pretty localised to just the jawline area so I've stopped putting ivermectin in that area.

Is this likely to be ivermectin and will it die down or should I talk to my GP again? Any ideas if it's just a bad suncream choice that reaction is taking a while to die down?

So if I need to take doxycycline on an empty stomach at night but more than 30 minutes before lying down to go to sleep I'm struggling to fit this into my daily routine??

I go to bed at 11pm, latest, so have to take the pills at 10.30 at the latest so therefore I have to stop eating by 8.30 latest. Why am I finding this so restrictive?!

What are the side effects if I don't follow the advice? I mean, I like to snack of an evening but is it going to be awful if I do?

Perhaps I'm over thinking it but I'd rather be prepared

A bit of background, I lost 7 stone with Mounjaro and then switched to Wegovy because of the price hike. Like many, I've not found Wegovy to be as helpful for weight loss but I've pretty much maintained my weight while building up to the highest dose of Wegovy.

​

I'm considering coming back to Mounjaro as I still have another stone-ish I'd like to lose.

​

I've been using Boots this whole time but I've recently had a change in circumstances and can't justify the higher prices Boots charge, knowing that there are more cost effective options out there.

​

My BMI is 25.5 but was 42 when I started.

​

Can I provide a history or something to prove my past to be able to use one of these options? What about maintenance? Do they provide a maintenance plan because I firmly believe I'll be on this medication for life.

​

I'm in a tricky place as I'm fairly close to target but quite scared to be on my own when I get there!

I've recently developed an allergy to gel nails so am looking for an alternative. I've done some reading up and it seems like nail wraps are a good option for me to try. The thing is, I'm a cleaning business owner, which means that on days when I'm cleaning, I'm wearing rubber gloves all day and my hands get pretty sweaty! Will that affect how the wraps last?
