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

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 d3

quick one a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating

AB

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

ok so i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free

AB

genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop

coming back to this powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it

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

water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order

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

AB

quick one do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff

MP

ok so i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern

RW

for the archive electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried, anyway

RW

the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing

RW

update on the earlier thing new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation, ill dig out the number

AB

while im here escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose

SA

thats not a chat question

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 d3

site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it

protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
