the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me

Highlights from this day
- fridge_thermo — escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose 20:24
- triple_ag_tom — right so the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses 22:19
- quiet.hours — nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking 22:52
please get seen
update on the earlier thing my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
update from 23 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
coming back after 22 months off: do the side effects reset
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
water first
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 9 or is that just me
sorry youre having a rough one
[edited]taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free

if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
started shedding hair around month 12, does it stop
fibre before pills
Reminder for fridge_thermo: dose day is today. Set 5 days ago.
right so the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
coming back to this new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation

eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
im at week 22 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
protein

right so right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
Verification log updated: MKM — evidence added, status unchanged.
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
right so the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses

i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking

dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
