if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
genuine question a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything

dont push through
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
let the swab dry
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 3 or is that just me
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line, happy to be corrected
my resting heart rate is up about 6 bpm, is that a known thing
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
eat more
right so the burps started at 7.5 and not before, has anyone else had that
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
quick one eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
week 32 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
drop a rung
unrelated but electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried, your mileage will differ
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
that settles

sorry youre having a rough one

it got better for me
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
protein
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
fibre before pills
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me, someone check my working

rotate the site
please get seen
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
hope it settles
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
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 d3unrelated but the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me, n of 1 obviously
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
Reminder for vial_ledger: dose day is today. Set 8 days ago.
water first
