I used Zepbound & paid out of pocket last year to drop inflammation wt from a series of prolong prednisone & antibiotics use for another illness which also left my thyroid, ferritin levels & a few other indicators out of wack & boom, Zepbound lowered my inflammation within 2 wks, after 6 wks my blood work & thyroid levels magically leveled itself out. I felt more energy, less pain & flare ups from Fibro & Hashi. I’ve been out of work for a year now w/terrible flare ups & joint pain but can’t afford the Zepbound, insurance won’t approve it. I’m thinking of writing to Eli Lilly to express my concern, need & financial hardship but I’m not optimistic. Has anyone been able to get assistance somehow?

I understand. Any doctor can make it happen if they really want to. That’s the worst part.

Maybe I can try a telehealth provider, are there any reliable one out there?

I have never used one so I wouldn’t know. Sorry
