the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me

Highlights from this day
- fake_tracking — water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order 20:49
- fake_tracking — if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line, thats just me 21:22
- sgp_subq — reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber 21:55
let the swab dry
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
quick one the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me

sorry youre having a rough one
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it, your mileage will differ
it does stop
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can

coming back after 23 months off: do the side effects reset
rotate the site

is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
my injection site itched for three days, normal
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop

taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
magnesium
protein
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
