Highlights from this day
- font_forensics — dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move 18:21
- font_forensics — right so my injection site itched for three days, normal 18:31
- eighteen_months — unrelated but right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried 21:19
- eighteen_months — i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern 21:30
hope it settles
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
quick one sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
⚠️6
that settles
please get seen
follow up has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better

my resting heart rate is up about 2 bpm, is that a known thing
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
right so my injection site itched for three days, normal

water first
eat more

let the swab dry

everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle

let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging, happy to be corrected
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
fibre before pills
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
quick one my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline, thats one data point
the burps started at 2.4 and not before, has anyone else had that
🎉3
it got better for me

Inter-lab diff for lot E-2205: 98.1% vs 96.8%. Within expected range.
drop a rung
it does stop
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 3 or is that just me
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
🤝3
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it, from memory
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried, i could be wrong
📉3
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
📈5🎉5
rotate the site
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back, not advice obviously
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
started shedding hair around month 14, does it stop
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
dont push through
unrelated but right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried

the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
sorry youre having a rough one
thats not a chat question
for the archive nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern

nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
update from 24 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
week 27 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
