Highlights from this day
  • hiccup_hollis — my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline 15:55
  • customs_owl — if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line 16:28
  • quiet.hours — how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing 17:52
  • quiet.hours — reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber 18:22
  • two_eight_c — sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps 18:57

the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging

eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me

drop a rung

the burps started at 7.5 and not before, has anyone else had that

CO

electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried

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

CO

anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order

what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed

magnesium

week 6 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle

i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free, ymmv

HH

magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move

is the nausea meant to be worst around day 2 or is that just me

update from 19 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
update from 14 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely

protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months

it got better for me

ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at

👍2💀1🎉2

eat more

CO

nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases

thats not a chat question

everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle

*that should say weekly
