drop a rung

genuine question a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating, ill dig out the number

new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation

everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle

it does 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 d3

reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber

nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking, thats one data point

let the swab dry

do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff

electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried

im at week 9 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem

*week 18 not week 2
