Highlights from this day
- batch_bandit — everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle 14:16
- batch_bandit — my injection site itched for three days, normal 14:41
- verify_or_dont — how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing 16:22
- nausea_window — taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line 16:56
- tallinn_taper — nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases 18:34
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
week 26 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
fibre before pills
[edited]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 d3protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months, ymmv
my injection site itched for three days, normal

do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
hope it settles
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline

slightly off topic but if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
day two is the worst
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
update from 4 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing

genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
[edited]site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
that settles
the burps started at 1 and not before, has anyone else had that
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
it does stop
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
drop a rung

if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
water first

the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
my resting heart rate is up about 7 bpm, is that a known thing
hiccups. every single time. why
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
thats not a chat question
while im here magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption, ymmv
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
