protein
coming back to this 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
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
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 d3my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
hiccups. every single time. why
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
[edited]is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
[edited]severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question

right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
[edited]eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
magnesium
[edited]my injection site itched for three days, normal
for the archive taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it

water first
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order, from memory
thats not a chat question
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at

unrelated but a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating, i have it written down somewhere
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it, still working it out
it does stop
