magnesium
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back, for what its worth

please get seen
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
water first
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging, anyway

severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
