Hi everyone! I'm Aleesi, and I'm just starting to explore the grey. I'm so grateful to have all of you here, and I've already learned a great deal. I have BED, and although I could get away with it in my younger years, ageing and hormones have not been kind to me over the last couple of years. Eventually I made the decision to start Zepbound, figuring that if it didn't work, oh well—at least I'd have tried! Instead it worked incredibly well—and now that I know I'll be using GLP-1s for a long, long time, possibly for the rest of my life, I had to find more affordable options. Enter compounded tirzepatide telehealths and pharmacies. I was fairly content at that point, but as I did a lot of reading and research on Reddit, I kept coming across references to other GLPs, peptides, and the grey market. So my curiosity got the better of me. I took a look at what were probably some scam sites, since back then I had no clue how to even locate anything grey online, but the prices were astonishing. I couldn't believe what I might pay for my tirz, and even try other coveted peptides, with all the money I was pouring into compounded. I learned about crypto, which was really intimidating at first, but I think I'm getting the hang of it! And now I'm just reading and participating in the forum as much as I can so I can finally feel confident enough to officially make the leap to grey and become my very own researcher. Once again, I'm so happy to be here and so very grateful for all the knowledge being shared together as a community.
