@janemc yes, on constipation but deal with that using Mirafiber gummies, which taste very good and occasional laxative). I definitely need to drink more water.( I still drink one regular Coke a day for energy…but know that water should take it’s place) I love yogurt but only the flavored Yoplait whips like coconut cream and their regular line too. I’m not sedentary at all…can’t due to hip replacement a few years ago. Mostly yardwork, landscaping. I still feel tired at times but always push on with my day. I care for my own cats and a two feral outside so I’m up and down all day long. I have decided though to quit the Zepbound for now, as I am only 15 lbs away from my goal weight. I The chronic insomnia is what troubles me most. I checked drug interactions and didn’t get any matches for the constant day through night quiet burping and insomnia. The acupuncture group which is tied to my cancer center also has yoga classes which may help. I also learned that HU alone can cause anorexia. I’ve noticed my diet is mostly protein drinks, fruit, creamy sauces rather than anything acidic. Really have to force myself to eat meat or any dense food.

All that physical activity is awesome! And from another animal lover, warmest thanks for taking care of all the cats.

You're being careful with your diet, so the relentless GI symptoms must be really frustrating.

And you must be so worn out.

Here's hoping acupuncture can help; yoga sounds promising too.

But if not -- has a doctor ever suggested a prescription to help you sleep? Believe it or not, there are safe, non habit-forming medications available.

How do I know that? Because I take one from time to time. I'm so glad to have that option.

ET already steals our energy. You really, really need your rest.
