We made it to tiktok

[Garbo]

While I do not like the idea of pulling the ladder up behind me when there are people who need to know what we know... I wonder if it might be a good idea for community sites like this to stop new user registration or even hide posts from non-logged in users... Maybe just for a month or so.

I understand how you feel, Morbius, but this particular site is one of the most open, accessible, and easily-searchable-via-google peptide communities online. (Which I know you know, cuz you're kind of an Internet genius lol. I guess I'm pointing it out for newcomers.)

@ZippityDooDah created it that way, and evidently — up to this point in time at least — has not been persuaded by dumb or greedy people to change that.

I must admit, I do admire his quality of NOT being a control freak. And among the many things I love about this forum is the opportunity it gives me to practice Acceptance

What happened to TikTok being banned?

Your man rolled it back after being threatened with withholding of political donations by Jeff Yass, a donor with a large financial stake in TikTok. Guess that story didn’t break through to your media ecosystem. Shocking.

Not my boy, boy. You are clearly another one of the people on the left that can’t control their delicate emotions.

I still like the idea of keeping this place open. Grays never been gate kept or hard to find like people trying to monetize it claim.

We should just shun the scammers selling free info.

Her posts read like the exhibits from a psychology study on narcissistic personality disorder or one of the fellow-traveler Cluster B disorders (histrionic personality disorder, perhaps).

Note that I don't play a psychologist on TV.

Ya mean pull an Amotide, Amopure, Amolist, BFFList ??

The site is on the open web, she can lurk without being logged in.

Has there been any discussion about making the site private, requiring a login to gain access?

 

[scarywood75]

Well at least people complaining others not to help newbies will get the chance to prove how better they are

Zippity is the one who would make a call like that—this is a monarchy not a democracy—and until very recently he has been away. So i am doubtful it has been considered.

Just my 2 cents, but In my opinion, people who rant and rave into their cellphone cameras to be "famous" have other way more serious issues...

You beat me to it! In my field, the Dx could be F60.3 or F60.4, possible co- occurring or clustered, but I would conclude those2 codes for severe attention seeking behavior. The old Axis 2 diagnostics personality D/O.

Well damn. I'm just hear to say long time lurker and one time thread participant.

Why someone always gotta blow up the spot?

Please don’t take this place away from us

I think the number of people with the initiative to jab themselves with Chinese Grey market peptides is way lower than you'd expect...

To add to your point, the people using compounding pharmacies now would be far more likely to go the Lilly mail order route (starting at $349 per month for Zepbound at 2.5 mg / week):

OTOH, there are so many people on these meds or plan to be, that even a fraction of a percent is a sizeable number of people.

What's crazy to me is that public health officials are not getting the word out that Medicare will pay for Zepbound if they have sleep apnea.

Type in "grey market peptides" on tiktok and open the comments on the videos. It’s all people begging for sources, having no clue how to even reconstitute, where to get needles, etc.

According to creator search insights, 170k people are searched the term "gray market peptides" today. 116k searched "research peptide suppliers". Just in one day…

It's not that simple. You're saying Medicare will "pay," there's a big difference between them covering something and paying for something. Medicare "covered" my Mounjaro last year which is in tier 3 with high copays (avg $160/mo). There's a donut hole to deal with where deductable is higher ($771 for 84 day supply). That's for Diabetes.

With Sleep Apnea step therapy may be a requirement. If a CPAP works they're not going to cover Zepbound. Weightloss helps in some cases but only about 30% to 40%. My recent sleep study after significant weightloss (15lbs underweight) disappointingly showed no impact on my severe sleep apnea.

I just checked my (awesome) insurance (Humana) and Zepbound is not covered for any indication. It's not on their formulary in any of their Medicare plans either.

That was also my experience on Reddit, which is why I came here.

In my experience, many people are willing to jab themselves. They're just not willing to go through the hassle of figuring it out. Dozens of people in real life have asked to buy from me after hearing word of mouth that I have sema and know how to administer it.

I would have thought some Part D plans would have been better than that. But I am not personally familiar with them. Of course there is Extra Help from Medicare for some folks.
