Highlights from this day

VialBot — Inter-lab diff for lot G-0641: 98.6% vs 99%. Within expected range. 22:45
chlorhex — dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move 22:57
drawup_dee — i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can 23:01
abdo_two_inch — genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop 23:30
mg_per_ml — let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are… 23:41

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

*that should say weekly

chlorhexmod22:43

drop a rung

chlorhexmod22:47

the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me

tarpit_tamarchive22:49

hope it settles

eat more

reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber

chlorhexmod22:55

rotate the site

dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move

drawup_dee 22:59

protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months, i could be wrong

i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can

👀1✅1

week 23 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle

dont push through

does eating before or after the injection make any difference

abdo_two_inch 23:06

magnesium

mg_per_ml 23:08

let the swab dry

abdo_two_inch 23:10

the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing

VialBot Inter-lab diff for lot G-0641: 98.6% vs 99%. Within expected range.

slow.taper 23:12

a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating

abdo_two_inch 23:14

coming back after 21 months off: do the side effects reset

escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose

that settles

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

severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question

mg_per_ml let the swab dry

abdo_two_inch 23:23

im at week 12 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem

do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through

slow.taper 23:27

if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line

abdo_two_inch 23:30

genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop

✅6📈17🙏1

thats not a chat question

my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline

if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals

the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses

mg_per_ml 23:36

update from 10 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely, take that with a pinch of salt

site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it

let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
