Highlights from this day
- nhs_pathway_nell — slightly off topic but protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months 18:33
- chlorhex — let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging 20:43
- VialBot — Purity check: no report on file for lot E-2205. Nothing logged either way. 21:03
- swirl_not_shake — is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast 22:28
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
that settles
Purity check: no report on file for lot KP-0925. Nothing logged either way.
fibre before pills
update from 4 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
water first
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 d3protein

does eating before or after the injection make any difference
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can

if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
coming back after 7 months off: do the side effects reset
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
let the swab dry
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 d3i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern

drop a rung
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
week 8 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
magnesium
for the archive dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
Testing queue: 3 submissions open, 94 awaiting dispatch.
day two is the worst
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me, thats one data point
im at week 25 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
sorry youre having a rough one
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing

severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging

taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
hope it settles
sorry to jump in site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it

thats not a chat question
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
my injection site itched for three days, normal
rotate the site
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
⚠️6
the burps started at 15 and not before, has anyone else had that
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
