I wound up giving myself my shot a few hours later than I have been because we were playing Traveller (TTRPG) until around 2100. But I was able to give myself my shot and pretty much head straight to bed. I’m still feeling “funny” after I give myself the shot. I can’t really explain the sensation but it’s near where I give myself the injection and almost as if I can feel the medicine moving through me? I wish I had better words! My back also started to hurt later in bed, but I’m not sure that’s related to the Mounjaro and is more related to our bed being old and my body being old!

Tuesday’s journal entry simply reads “lots of poo”. I think every time I went to the loo, I had to go and I went to the loo a lot on Tuesday!

Wednesday was the worst day out of this week for me. I wound up going in my pants early in the morning (I’m still not sure if this is Mounjaro related or some kind of stomach issue with what I ate the night before). THe diarrhea got to the point I needed to take immodium, and I was having bad acid reflux. I’m not a stranger to acid, so the fact that I wrote down 8/10 indicates that it was pretty rough.

Thursday, I had more heartburn and a very weak stomach ache. Not to the point where it was full-on nausea, and not to the point of needing pepto…just a very dull, light stomach ache.

The surprise came for me on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday though.

I had ZERO side effects. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Even risked it with an Indian takeaway in the hotel on Saturday night and I half expected to need to take something before we met up with our friends on Sunday, but I was surprisingly fine. Am I finally “used to” the Mounjaro? Of course, this is the end of my 4 weeks on 2.5, and I will start on 5mg later today, so we might be in for a whole new round of side effects! But I’ll keep tracking things in my journal, and still write up weekly posts – at least for this first month on 5mg (second month overall). My goal is to hopefully have no symptoms and only need to keep monthly updates, but we’ll see what happens.
