Agree with Paula, the internet tells us its a fairly common side effect, and also very annoying. Hope it subsides soon.

Your body has finally gotten back off the plateau you seemed to be on for a while!

Wow - that's a scary flight! I only experienced one that was almost that bad but it sounds like yours was worse. I did okay mostly because DS was there (he was a child) and he was violently sick from the motion. So I was concentrating on him. I also found seeing that the flight attendants weren't nervous helped. One of them ran by and dropped off a garbage bag to use instead of the little barf bag saying that it was easier to catch it all in.

Thanks!!!! I'm glad to know the cause. Such a weird feeling. I figured it was neurological rather than dermatological. Makes sense. It's a minor side effect considering the benefit, but damn it is annoying.

Thanks!!! Now I know! That is exactly what it feels like! I only got it this past week. But now that you mention it, I think I may have had it on my arm early on. Good to know it'll pass. It's annoying as hell!

I do love foxes. They are actually really nice little beasties! They don't mess with our dogs and help keep vermin in control. Yes, they like a free chicken dinner, but who doesn't?

143.1! Down a bit again! Woooooo Hooooooo!

Haircut and highlight this morning and then went to our favorite coffee shop with DH and DC1 for lunch. BLT on flatbread and a lavender latte. Could only eat/drink half of each!

I'm making teriyaki salmon bites with roasted Brussels sprouts for dinner. Yum!

A nap is in order on this chilly day! The dogs love nap days! Me too!

I know this one!!! It's a tirzepatide side effect called allodynia. Usually passes after a while. I had it for a short while on my upper arms around month 2? Feels like a painful sunburn sort of but with no visible changes. It's neuropathic rather than dermatologic.

Funny that you mention the skin pain. There was a thread on my GLP 1 about skin pain and quite a few GLP1ers have experienced it! No clue what the etiology is!
