Highlights from this day
- quiet_head_qi — has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better 18:32
- quiet_head_qi — taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back 18:44
- tess_tirz — escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose 19:08
- quiet_head_qi — genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop 20:26
- quiet_head_qi — i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can 20:31
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein

is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
day two is the worst
follow up right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
it got better for me
right so started shedding hair around month 6, does it stop
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
sorry youre having a rough one

the burps started at 7.5 and not before, has anyone else had that

water first
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern

Inter-lab diff for lot SG-1177: 97.4% vs 98.6%. Within expected range.
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried

my resting heart rate is up about 8 bpm, is that a known thing
[edited]*that should say weekly
im at week 21 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
slightly off topic but whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose

let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
for the archive nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 5 or is that just me
unrelated but is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
fibre before pills
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it, still working it out
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
hiccups. every single time. why
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
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
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can

do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
genuine question update from 15 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
