Highlights from this day
- gall_bladder_gav — new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation, n of 1 obviously my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth… 06:01
- gall_bladder_gav — anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough 06:49
- shame_and_meds — magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption 07:09
- noct.titrate — the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me 09:50
- noct.titrate — ok so update from 6 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely 09:52

coming back after 16 months off: do the side effects reset
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking, ask me again in a month

the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing

is the nausea meant to be worst around day 9 or is that just me
| Step | What | Give it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | water, properly, all day | 3 days |
| 2 | soluble fibre | 4 days |
| 3 | magnesium | 3 days |
| 4 | stool softener | 3 days |
| 5 | pharmacist | now |
ok so if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line, still working it out
rotate the site
how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff

right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
for the archive escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose, take that with a pinch of salt
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein

sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
that settles
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
week 22 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
hope it settles

same at week 3
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question, thats just me
the burps started at 1.7 and not before, has anyone else had that
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
