Highlights from this day
- nausea_window — water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order, ymmv 19:11
- lipase_lore — severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question 19:46
- chlorhex — eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me 20:20

that settles
dont push through
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
started shedding hair around month 19, does it stop
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried

site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
it got better for me
coming back after 26 months off: do the side effects reset
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
genuine question magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption

drop a rung
unrelated but if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
my injection site itched for three days, normal
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber

i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern

protein
quick one update from 17 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
quick one week 34 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
[edited]eat more

follow up genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
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 d3how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
im at week 2 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
it does stop

if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
fibre before pills
coming back to this anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at, from memory

do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing

my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline

right so let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
rotate the site
water first
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
genuine question escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 6 or is that just me
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
day two is the worst
