Okay y’all!! Final wegovy update. I switched to Zepbound a week ago, and I feel great (knock on wood)! I’m not vomiting anymore, which I (and my teeth lol) am very grateful for. I’ll do my second shot tomorrow.
I’m also getting ready to study abroad in Europe, which has been a challenge when it comes to getting medication that I need. My last few days have consisted of me and my mom (god bless her) calling insurance companies, pharmacies, doctors, etc. nonstop.
I got what I needed, enough medicine for my time away from the USA, but it took some work. Worth it though. Sadly we live in a medical system where you often have to be a little bit of a bitch and bother people a little bit to get what you need.
But this is me telling you: Bother those doctors, those insurance companies, those pharmacies (as nicely as you can). Don’t stop fighting for the shit you need. Until our healthcare system gets better, we need to advocate for ourselves as much as we can.
