is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing

magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me, from memory
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
coming back to this the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me, thats one data point
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
hope it settles
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
my resting heart rate is up about 9 bpm, is that a known thing
dont push through

Digest for the week of 2025-02-01 has been published.
started shedding hair around month 13, does it stop
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
coming back after 25 months off: do the side effects reset
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything

sorry youre having a rough one
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
day two is the worst

update on the earlier thing how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you

eat more
water first
for the archive is the nausea meant to be worst around day 3 or is that just me
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move, i could be wrong

is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried, for what its worth

everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
right so eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
right so nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question, we shall see
my injection site itched for three days, normal
sorry to jump in ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
im at week 23 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose

my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
