Highlights from this day
  • cross_border_cam — magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption, n of 1 obviously 05:44
  • hiccup_hollis — a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating, anyway 07:44
  • zoya_zeros — coming back after 7 months off: do the side effects reset 11:36
OS

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

my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline, not advice obviously

CB

if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline, happy to be corrected

for the archive reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber

OS

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

ZZ

slightly off topic but dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move

magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption, n of 1 obviously

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

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

it does stop

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

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

is the nausea meant to be worst around day 8 or is that just me

please get seen

HH

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

[edited]

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

right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried

update from 19 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely

the burps started at 2.4 and not before, has anyone else had that

HH

if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals

rotate the site

CB

ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at, ill dig out the number

LT

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

PN

severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question

LT

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

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

magnesium

escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose, your mileage will differ

powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it

ZZ

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

LT

electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried, we shall see

it got better for me
