Highlights from this day
- net_peptide — nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking 17:51
- peak_split — a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating, thats one data point 20:38
- ruo_only — right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order 20:48
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
eat more
[edited]escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose, happy to be corrected
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
rotate the site
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
thats not a chat question
coming back after 22 months off: do the side effects reset
quick one electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
magnesium
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
water first
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating, thats one data point

what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
day two is the worst
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
