my hs-CRP moved and I cannot work out whether heart rate is why
my hs-CRP moved and I cannot work out whether heart rate is why. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down.
reflux for the first eight days after each step, then nothing, every single time. Predictable enough that I started planning my week around it.
Bought four different things to fix my constipation. What actually worked was eating half as fast.
Hair shedding after significant weight loss is a telogen effect that follows the rate of loss. It is not specific to these compounds and it resolves.
That is everything I have. The rest is opinion and I have tried to keep it out.
best — the order this archive was captured in
A symptom that begins the day after the shot and fades by day four tracks the exposure curve. One that appears at random in week 42 probably does not, and that is worth saying to a clinician rather than to us.
Left up. It is a description of one person’s week and it is flagged as such.
Left up.
Disagreeing with this one line: that symptom is not on the wait-and-see list and should not be posted as though it is.
the food noise going quiet is the effect people came for, and sulphur burps are the toll for the first fortnight
Are you eating in the couple of hours before you sleep?
Nobody warned me about muscle cramps and I would have liked the warning. It was not dangerous, it was just deeply unpleasant and completely unexpected.
Not convinced by that mechanism. Slowed gastric emptying explains fullness and reflux; it does not explain what you are describing.
Not convinced by that mechanism.
Adding to this — holding the dose rather than stepping is the option people forget they have.
Has anything else changed in the same window?
Which day of the week relative to the shot does it hit?
Kept a one-line-a-day log for two months. The pattern was obvious on paper and invisible in my head.
if it is severe or persistent that is a clinician question, not a board question
Yes. Holding the dose is a real option and it does not mean you have failed at anything.
Disagree. Severe abdominal pain is not on the list of things to wait out, and this board should not be treating it as one.
On buying things to fix side effects, which I did extensively and would not do again.
The interventions that changed anything for me were all behavioural and free: smaller meals, eating slower, stopping food a few hours before sleep, more fibre and considerably more water. The things I bought did nothing I could detect, and I was motivated to detect something.
The other lever, which people forget, is time at dose. Holding rather than stepping is a legitimate plan and it fixed my tolerance where nothing else did.
Reflux was the one that got me. Stopped eating in the three hours before bed and it went from nightly to almost never.
fatigue plus low intake is usually just low intake
Right, and the hair thing is worth repeating: it tracks the rate of loss rather than the compound, and it stops.

Mine settled at week 37 and has not come back since, across two more steps.
sulphur burps are unpleasant and they are not dangerous
