magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption

it does stop
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
update from 13 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
drop a rung

| 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 |
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me, anyway
ok so has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
dont push through
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move, your mileage will differ
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order, take that with a pinch of salt
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking

is the nausea meant to be worst around day 9 or is that just me

my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
thats not a chat question
for the archive i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
water first
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
