dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move

nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
rotate the site
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
slightly off topic but reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals, i could be wrong
week 27 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
thats not a chat question
day two is the worst
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
drop a rung
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including 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 d3protein
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
same at week 3
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose, thats one data point
Reminder set. I will post here in 3 days.

a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
[edited]that settles
genuine question the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried

the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
update from 6 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it, someone check my working

magnesium
sorry youre having a rough one
let the swab dry
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
it got better for me
follow up my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
it does stop
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
