Highlights from this day
- chlorhex — a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating 17:59
- chlorhex — the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me, n of 1 obviously 18:24
- chlorhex — week 22 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle 18:29
- cold_start_cy — the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order 18:33
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
drop a rung
[edited]severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
slightly off topic but how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing

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

magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
my resting heart rate is up about 2 bpm, is that a known thing
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
quick one new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline, your mileage will differ
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me, n of 1 obviously

protein
same at week 3
fibre before pills
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
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 d3i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can, i have it written down somewhere
it got better for me
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing, thats just me
update on the earlier thing if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months, someone check my working
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
magnesium
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
