site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it, someone check my working
my resting heart rate is up about 9 bpm, is that a known thing
hiccups. every single time. why
quick one reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
the burps started at 2.4 and not before, has anyone else had that
right so right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
let the swab dry
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
📈3
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 3 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 |
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose

powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
quick one severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
sorry youre having a rough one
my injection site itched for three days, normal
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals

eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me, happy to be corrected
thats not a chat question
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back

escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
gall_bladder_gavif you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help…
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing

while im here water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
day two is the worst

drop a rung
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
right so the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
[edited]anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein
😂2
eat more
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
magnesium
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
[edited]everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses

does eating before or after the injection make any difference
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
rotate the site

protein
hope it settles
how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
[edited]dont push through
coming back to this update from 26 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
it does stop
that settles
sorry to jump in is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
