Has anyone used ro or a similar service to get Ozempic/Wegovy etc. I was prescribed it by a doctor about six months ago, but could not get the prior authorization from my insurance company and could not get the pharmacy to fill it without the prior auth. I know it can be very expensive without insurance, so I’m curious how much it ends up costing people who go through these kinds of services to get it.

I'm a little worried about microplastics in my food. Is this just hysteria?

I feel like I'm in a vicious cycle. I'm exhausted all. the. time. No matter how much sleep I get, no matter how clean I eat.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit.

Has anyone experienced difficulties with speech/thinking through taking anti-depressants or from suffering with long term depression?

I just had my first ultrasound and they’re telling me I’m only 6w3d… but I really thought I was 7w6d based on my last period and conception date (I’ve been tracking everything with Flo). It feels off to me bc I’ve tested positive for 4 weeks now. How do you know what to trust?

I started working out and cleaned up my diet with the main goal being weight loss, but I'm really frustrated.

It's been a month, I feel like the effort I put in is huge and exhausting, but I haven't lost a pound, although I can see there's been a bit of muscle gain and I lost half an inch from my waist.

I know the lesson is to not eat unhealthy, but I didn’t think it would wreck my body like this

Help me get over my covid anxiety: had plans with a friend but they got exposed to covid. Got a neg rapid test but feel like they have a sore throat and still want to hang. Given rapids don’t necessarily detect omicron plus the symptoms, I’m a bit concerned. I’m WAAAY more cautious than most when it comes to covid (not doing indoor events yet, still masking). We’d be outdoors anyways, so do I put my anxiety aside and risk it or ask them to get a PCR and just postpone to next week?
