[Question] how do you actually verify heart rate
Genuine question, and the title is the question: how do you actually verify heart rate.
Nobody warned me about constipation and I would have liked the warning. It was not dangerous, it was just deeply unpleasant and completely unexpected.
Severe or persistent abdominal pain sits outside the pattern this board can usefully discuss. The honest answer there is that it needs someone who can examine you.
Nothing in this thread is medical advice, including this comment. I am describing a mechanism, not telling anybody what to do about their own week.
If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something. Alone it is an anecdote.
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 20 probably does not, and that is worth saying to a clinician rather than to us.
Constipation is mostly reduced intake plus reduced fluid, not a direct effect. That is why the boring fibre and water answer keeps working.
Mine settled at week 42 and has not come back since, across two more steps.
Yes — the day-two-to-day-four window is so consistent across this board that it is almost diagnostic.
The effect on gastric emptying is most pronounced early and attenuates with continued dosing, which is the mechanism behind the "it settles at a stable dose" pattern the whole board reports.
Most of the common complaints trace back to slowed gastric emptying — early fullness, reflux, nausea after a large or fatty meal. That is also why meal size and speed change the experience more than anything else.
a rough fortnight at each step is normal, a rough three months is not
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.
reflux at night, try not eating in the three hours before bed
This. A bad fortnight after a step is expected. A bad quarter is a reason to talk to somebody who knows your history.
Same pattern here. It settled at a stable dose without me doing anything clever.
fatigue plus low intake is usually just low intake
Which day of the week relative to the shot does it hit?
sulphur burps are unpleasant and they are not dangerous
Reflux was the one that got me. Stopped eating in the three hours before bed and it went from nightly to almost never.
sulphur burps are unpleasant and they are not dangerous
ferran_dahlberg is right about the timing. The day-of-week pattern is the diagnostic bit, not the severity.
the reflux that arrives at week 73 out of nowhere is usually something else
the first fortnight after a step is the worst of it, then it settles
