Continuing Medication Saga
When we last left off I was itching and itching and itching which was on Tuesday. Wednesday I took my Trulicity shot and the itching got even worse. Bingo we have a winner it seems I am now allergic to Trulicity or one of the additives. UGH! If it is not one thing it is another. Benadryl was barely touching it. I called the doctor and the nurse line and got some ideas of what I could take. I upped the ante by getting Allegra Hives. They said if it feels really bad over the weekend then I could go get like a cortisone shot, but they wanted that as a last resort since it would raise my blood sugar. The itching comes and goes now. Allegra is suppose to be 24 hours, but it does not last that long with me. Of course they told me to stop taking the Trulicity and now I get to try Ozempic. They said to wait on it though till I feel like the allergic reaction has stopped. It might take a bit since it is a once a week shot.
At least I was able to get the Ozempic via the Univ of Ky pharmacy with medication help and only pay $10. If it goes through on my insurance at the 'full' amount I will probably have met my deductible for the year. This means I can look into getting some other things I need done this year.
Seems to be one step forward and the 2 steps back. At least my new position is going well.

I am glad the new position is going well, and I hope that continues.
