Very very interesting news

While learning about the history of glp-1 agonists (wegovy, monjaro, ozempic) I have discovered the use of compound pharmacies, and oh boy is this big

Basically compounding pharmacies are pharmacies that mix multiple medicine together, or make edited versions of them (in case of an allergy or something) I imagine it's usefull for people who take a whole ton of medicines and don't want to spend 20 minutes taking each pill

BUT the rules that make this possible also open up some very very interesting possibilities, for example I can order drugs either not approved and in research with promising results, or drugs which are not passed by the FDA but are used in other countries, what this means for me is depending on the price, I can get prescribed (by a willing doctor) and order experimental hair loss medications (I have early stage male pattern baldness), and possibly even get mixed skin care meds so they are stable together (ie tretinoin, niacinimide, vit c, stabilizers in one big bulk bottle that will last ~ a year) which will massively help with my skin care efforts since its challenging to stay on schedule when the task of rubbing those creams on my whole body is extremely time consuming and slow and it just feels like a big drag when I already have to take 5 pills and other hair stuff and now the bitterant nail polish to stop myself from biting my nails, so hopefully after I do some research and find a doctor that works with that stuff I might be able to try out RU58841, CB-03-01, Clascoterone 7.5% for hair loss which will be fun

I'd also like to mention that I'm not necessarily insecure about it I just don't want it to happen and I'm fine with putting a little effort in so I look how I want, if it doesn't work then oh well I don't need to really worry about it

Also could get experimental glp-1 agonists if I want to loose weight, such as the oral pills that are in development, but I think I'm fine with my weight currently

But it just feels so powerful knowing this there's so much

For y'all

I think ima start actually cooking meals

I like the idea but I haven't really done it much because of problems with executive functioning

1 meal a day should be good enough to get the nutrients I need, whenever I eat junk food I feel like shit mentally and physically for the whole day (no shit) but I'm getting annoyed with it

Also there are a bunch of ants on the couch or whatever it is in the patio and I've been growing this mint plant and I'm too lazy to make mint oil so my plan is to just aggressively rub the mint leaves on the cushions to deter the ants, tbh it should work

Jokes aside every time I hear that EAS header signal it gets me paranoid, I remember being in my moms car in the middle of the night having the radio suddenly stop and change to the EAS it's so creepy, on top of that when I was little in Georgia we had the tornado warnings and sometimes that alert would play on the tv to make it even worse, even later in my childhood there were a few incidents where the EAS came on my tv in the middle of my room at like 12:00 am and even though it was a test it already freaked me out on top of my room being ground level and having 2 large windows that could see directly into it man freaky paranoia times, I was never in danger but damn that shit made me paranoid

Now adays I actually find how the a EAS system works really interesting and it's super cool to see it go off when it does, there are various types of "emergencies" from imminent flood warning to chemical plant deadly gas breach tbh that one is crazy imagine getting that and it telling you to close all your doors and windows and hide in the farthest room from the outside because there is a gas leak that could kill you, it's happened but the alerts have never gone off because of that due to various reasons (usually plant is in the middle of nowhere or residents already know about it because of the news, an example being during 9/11 the shelter in place EAS alert was not sent out because literally all of America heard about it within a few hours, shit still creeps me out just a little though but it's cool stuff to look into

(kinda loud fyi)
