Reminder for night_pin: dose day is today. Set 3 days ago.

what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed

QH

while im here coming back after 5 months off: do the side effects reset

NT

while im here nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking

if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line

ST

how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing

FI

i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can

FI

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

FI

update on the earlier thing i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern, take that with a pinch of salt

thats not a chat question

ST

for the archive let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging

that settles

anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough

week 14 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle

[edited]

fibre before pills

started shedding hair around month 26, does it stop

SS

eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me

day two is the worst

FI

the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me, anyway

MP

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

slightly off topic but electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried

protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months, someone check my working

protein
