do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
let the swab dry
unrelated but ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
slightly off topic but the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me

protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
genuine question if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line, still working it out
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
update from 6 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline, thats just me
for the archive a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
unrelated but do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
im at week 13 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals, i think
week 18 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle

slightly off topic but how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed

that settles
while im here i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
for the archive genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop

unrelated but let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
my injection site itched for three days, normal

the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
[edited]*that should say weekly
follow up started shedding hair around month 5, does it stop
right so electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried, i could be wrong
Reminder for customs_owl: dose day is today. Set 5 days ago.
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
