| 1 | water, properly, all day | 3 days |
| 2 | soluble fibre | 4 days |
| 3 | magnesium | 3 days |
| 4 | stool softener | 3 days |
| 5 | pharmacist | now |
quick one if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
📉4❤️1
rotate the site
week 11 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
started shedding hair around month 19, does it stop
protein
eat more
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months

my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline, for what its worth
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
right so taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose, i have it written down somewhere

new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation, for what its worth
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
sorry youre having a rough one

if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line, your mileage will differ
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at, happy to be corrected
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can

i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
[edited]*Medutest not the other one
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it, from memory
sorry to jump in eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
hope it settles
while im here the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses, n of 1 obviously
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
water first
day two is the worst
please get seen
