nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
please get seen

rotate the site
dont push through
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging

if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein
slightly off topic but anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
coming back after 25 months off: do the side effects reset
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 8 or is that just me
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
update on the earlier thing i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
that settles

the burps started at 15 and not before, has anyone else had that
im at week 6 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
thats not a chat question

eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me

fibre before pills
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline, ask me again in a month
hope it settles
