My 16 yo had a stroke and it took us 3 years and a lawyer to finally get her on SSI. She was very obviously disabled with mounds of evidence. Not one dr (aside from the govt one) said differently. I'm sure there is a teeny fraction of fraud, but applause to them for somehow getting it approved

We were feeling hopeful because last year she lived in London for a whole year - used a VPN and it never once logged her out or suspected her of not being in the household. I had heard tales of shut outs happening more and more but I thought we were special or something.

It's my 2nd Thanksgiving on Zepbound. Since last year I lost the last 50 lbs, at my goal. Still didn't eat much this year but side effects are WAY less now. It's wild. But I'm happy with my results.

Ooof! 😅 Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh Beth. I know this feeling well with one of my most special dogs. He was my soul dog. Dog of a lifetime. We have had a wonderful dog since whom I absolutely love too, but I don't know if there will ever be another "Bullet" my beloved basset hound. Maybe it's supposed to be that way. Love to you

Yes! I'm almost 50 and in PT and it's the biggest thing I'm working on. Even my posture in my sleep is bad!

I live about 40 minutes from Charlotte. Of course there are a lot of stories popping up in our local groups, feeds, friends of friends sharing info. Some of course are probably hearsay or false, but many of them very true and very scary & infuriating.

I was always told here in the south it's half your age plus 7 years to be socially acceptable. Ex: a 50 year old would be 25+7 = 32 year old. I'm not saying this is right or wrong.

It 100% feels that way.

4/5 of us on our plan are disabled. Our claims are 250k to as much as 1M a year. No joke. One person has $1500 a week medication. They just don't understand (or care to understand)

My brain turns it into LMNOP like a 3 year-old reciting their ABCs

When times are tight my anxiety is OFF THE CHARTS. When things are decent to good, it's much better. Gee, I wonder why. It's almost as if money does indeed buy happiness. (or peace of mind anyway)

Like all the bills are getting paid on time right now - but its starting to be "minimums only" or a few dollars above the minimum, only to be left with a small amount left for groceries & gas and pretty much all the fun money is drying up; or gone, really. I've just been denying reality

That, and someone telling him about the new nuclear crisis movie on Netflix. (I wish I was kidding about that part)

I agree 100%.
