Sgt Gonos is a dear friend of mine and a brother whom I served two deployments with on the USS Boxer. In 2013 we were on the 13th MEU together and there was an incident where fuel and other unknown contaminants in the drinking water all throughout the ship. I am lucky to not yet have any symptoms of medical issues however there are many Marines and Sailors coming out now with medical related issues to this incident. Sergeant Gonos deserves justice along with all other service members exposed to hazardous drinking water while serving onboard the USS Boxer.
I never thought it would come to this. Thank you to everyone for your continued support while I attempt to navigate this new way of life. I can only pray another Veteran not have to succumb to an ailment to be heard. Be loud and never quit 🤙
This drug has helped me lose weight resulting in relief of some of the chronic pain I suffer from on a daily basis . I could barely wear a bra from the pain. I tried for 4 months to lose the same weight I just lost in 4 weeks. What happened after I lost it killing by body to do so and not being able to do anything but exercise an hour a day? Prednisone for a month for autominnue issues put it back on in 3 weeks. Why should we have surgeries when we can prevent other diseases, improve our health and our quality of life? Because the 1% loses money. I stopped taking other medications since taking this. Stop being gready! You hand out needles to addicts let the public have the tools they need to assist in their long term health goals. Anything else is just being grimey lowlife drug dealers
After using other weight loss drugs, my primary doctor prescribed GLS-1. It is not covered by my insurance, only one of the several pharmacies carry the brand prescription and I can not afford to pay the costs of brand prescriptions. I have arthritis in both my knees and it is imperative that I lose weight. If the compound medication is not available I will not be able to use this medication.
As someone who struggles with insulin resistance PCOS it’s not a matter of if but WHEN I will have diabetes. It’s awful that we have medication at our hands that can prevent diabetes yet we’re not allowed to have it without being diabetic. Not to mention diabetes automatically cuts your life short and I’m a parent of a special needs child and can not have my life cut short due to something my body can not control. These companies need to do better!
I can't afford big pharma prices and they do this on purpose. This is the only solution for me and now to have it being taken away while the rich enjoy is just another slap in the face. I just want to be healthy and happy in a body I can rely on.
My insurance will never cover these meds for weight loss. I have used compounded tirzepatide for just under one year and have lost 100 pounds. I’m finally heathy and feel good about myself. I’m terrified of this no longer being available to me. Please do the right thing and let us continue on our journey of attaining a healthy future!
I was rejected by insurance to receive name brand options, despite my doctor thinking I should take it for weight loss. I wasn’t fat enough, and I wasn’t sickly enough… I guess an ounce of prevention (or 2.5mL) isn’t worth a pound of cure. I also have Crohns Disease, and as we find out more and more, we are discovering autoimmune/inflammatory disorders are calmed by GLP-1s. I know my
Crohns Disease has been in remission since coupling my biologic medication with a compounded GLP-1. Which is what works since I can draw a lower dose than is available by preloaded, brand name suppliers (Eli Lilly looking at you!). I take a MICRODOSE. 2.5mL is the starting dose, but my body tolerates only 2mL. I get too sick with side effects if I go higher. I know my body. It’s my choice. There is still profit to be made, but a monopoly on someone’s health isn’t how it’s done. DO NOT HARM ELI LILLY.
