Highlights from this day
- ollie_orders — a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating, someone check my working 12:50
- VialBot — Inter-lab diff for lot C-4402: 99.4% vs 98.6%. Within expected range. 14:44
- amylin_amy — whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything 17:19
- cricket_or_footy — how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you 17:22
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line

electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
magnesium
water first
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 d3🤝2
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
coming back after 2 months off: do the side effects reset

my injection site itched for three days, normal
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
drop a rung

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

let the swab dry
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
the burps started at 1.7 and not before, has anyone else had that

ok so water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
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
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern, happy to be corrected
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 d3is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
sorry youre having a rough one
update from 12 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything

the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you

hope it settles
im at week 22 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
it got better for me
