My PCP filed a prior authorization and it was approved. Insurance paid a couple months and then the drug was pulled for those on Tricare For Life on Aug 31st. My PCP left the practice within weeks of my starting, so I was left to telehealth for prescriptions until I can get into a new PCP.

I began compounded tirzepatide the 3rd of Aug and am continuing to lose. So far 24 lbs in 20 weeks. I feel better and have new labs 23 Sep and hopefully I'll see some improvements. My cholesterol numbers are very high as is my inflammation.

I've never heard of Minimal.
