Douglas<p>One nice thing with the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Zepbound" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Zepbound</span></a> is my body is much less on edge and I'm pretty relaxed mentally which is a great change. Also my brain in general is functioning better. I am losing about 2lbs a week as well.</p><p>I guess I'll see what happens next week on Tuesday. Although we'll probably be doing a fair amount of driving and walking around this weekend, too.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CFS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LongCOVID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCOVID</span></a></p>
Douglas<p>I felt pretty awful yesterday but was able to function more or less normally throughout the day. Over the weekend we did drive a lot and on Monday evening we walked for a mile. I also ate black licorice which is not something I usually eat. And I had my weekly Zepbound injection.</p><p>So one of those things probably was giving me some <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LongCOVD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongCOVD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CFS</span></a> symptoms? Or is it <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Zepbound" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Zepbound</span></a> side effects? I haven't had any side effects from Zepbound up to this point.</p>
