Highlights from this day
- ten_of_ten — the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me 16:55
- ten_of_ten — magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption 17:19
- swab_dry_first — i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can 17:41
- VialBot — Testing queue: 3 submissions open, 70 awaiting dispatch. 18:16
- hair_month_four — powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it 19:03

water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order, for what its worth
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern, anyway
it got better for me
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption

quick one is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line

my injection site itched for three days, normal
slightly off topic but protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
rotate the site
[edited]dose day = d0
0.25mg nothing much
0.50mg d1-d2 mild
1.00mg d1-d3 moderate
1.70mg d1-d2 moderate, d4 fine
2.40mg d1 rough, gone by d3i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can

the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
ok so has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better

a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
❤️2
coming back to this reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question

water first
| Step | What | Give it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | water, properly, all day | 3 days |
| 2 | soluble fibre | 4 days |
| 3 | magnesium | 3 days |
| 4 | stool softener | 3 days |
| 5 | pharmacist | now |
ok so eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it

the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
dose day = d0
0.25mg nothing much
0.50mg d1-d2 mild
1.00mg d1-d3 moderate
1.70mg d1-d2 moderate, d4 fine
2.40mg d1 rough, gone by d3right so i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free, from memory
let the swab dry
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 9 or is that just me
ok so do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
please get seen
update from 12 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely

is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
protein

nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
