Highlights from this day

electrolyte_eli — update on the earlier thing water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order, happy to be corrected 11:30
unsolicited_dm — genuine question nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking 12:23
electrolyte_eli — severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question 12:38
typosquat_tay — eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me 13:59

powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it

magnesium

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

genuine question nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking

unrelated but is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast

let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging, ymmv

day two is the worst

my resting heart rate is up about 3 bpm, is that a known thing

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