Highlights from this day
- slow.taper — i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free 10:00

- a1c_lag — dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move 13:51
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses

please get seen
it does stop
my resting heart rate is up about 9 bpm, is that a known thing
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
day two is the worst
let the swab dry
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line

hope it settles
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline, happy to be corrected
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals

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 d3is the nausea meant to be worst around day 9 or is that just me
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating

nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
