anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it

the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move

is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases

let the swab dry
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging, n of 1 obviously
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
quick one i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
day two is the worst
coming back to this is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast

fibre before pills
same at week 3
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
water first

right so does eating before or after the injection make any difference
it got better for me
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
