Hello. I’m 52/F and have had RLS since I was 10. My grandmother had it also. For most of my life just making sure I got enough sleep was enough to keep it at bay but had horrible times with it during both pregnancies.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve started having symptoms more and more. I finally asked my doctor for meds to help. He put me on gabapentin but it quit working pretty quickly. I stayed on it due to nerve pains caused by arthritis and I’m taking ropinerole for the RLS.

I was diagnosed with PCOS about 10 years ago and the insulin resistance issues caused Type 2 Diabetes so my doctor put me on Mounjaro injections, which is a GLP-1 drug.

I’ve been doing fine on it but the last 6 months or more it has really messed me up in regards to sleep and RLS issues for the first 3-4 nights after the injection. It’s a weekly shot so that’s a lot of days! I’ve been trying to spread the shots out but that’s not helping the weight issues!

Just curious if anyone else has had this happen to them while taking a GLP-1 and if you know why or how to stop it.

I work in IT for a local government. Been there about 3 years and love it for the most part. I know people are messy and there’s drama but so far I’ve been able to avoid it. That is until today.

Working on a big project with people from other departments. Most everybody is great. A few complainers but whatever. I just continue to do the best i can on my portion of things.

First thing this morning the project manager and I sat down together and had a discussion between just the 2 of us about a specific part of the project before the training session began.

It’s a large room in a building owned by my employer. Only 2 or 3 others were in there at the time. They were at their own tables in other parts of the room.

This afternoon another coworker that I trust informed me that one of the other people in the room had recorded the project manager and I having our conversation this morning and sent it to someone else. My jaw dropped to the floor.

The conversation was nothing bad - literally just answering a question I had about a process. The person who recorded it sent it to her supervisor and the supervisor brought it up with someone else and thats how i learned of it.

I wouldn’t have cared at all if the person would have just told the person what we’d said. But the fact that they recorded us. Without our knowledge. I’m hurt. I’m angry. I’m disappointed.

I live in TX and from what I’ve read it sounds like this was illegal since they weren’t part of the conversation. But they work closely with law enforcement. And I only found out from someone confiding in me so I’d know to be careful.

I feel like I should at least tell my boss but I’m honestly torn. Would love some advice on what to do.
