[Question] heart rate — what am I missing here
heart rate — what am I missing here, and I want the answer with the reasoning attached rather than just the conclusion.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
How long after a step up did this start?
Small fix — the shedding follows the rate of weight loss, not the compound, and it is temporary.
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 40 probably does not, and that is worth saying to a clinician rather than to us.
Is it every week or did it start at a particular dose?
sulphur burps are unpleasant and they are not dangerous
a rough fortnight at each step is normal, a rough three months is not
fatigue plus low intake is usually just low intake
fatigue plus low intake is usually just low intake
placebo_arm_pam is right about the timing. The day-of-week pattern is the diagnostic bit, not the severity.
the first fortnight after a step is the worst of it, then it settles
the first fortnight after a step is the worst of it, then it settles
This is the shape almost everybody here describes, and it is the single most reassuring thing in the thread.
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.
Constipation is mostly reduced intake plus reduced fluid, not a direct effect. That is why the boring fibre and water answer keeps working.
write down when it starts and stops, the pattern is the useful part
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.
The fatigue turned out to be that I was eating about a third of what I thought I was. Tracked it for a week and the mystery evaporated.
Are you eating in the couple of hours before you sleep?
fatigue on day two and gone by day four is the standard shape
fibre and water before you buy anything to fix it
eating slower does more than most of the supplements people recommend
This one needs a clinician rather than a comment section, and we have said so in the thread rather than removing it.
How long has it been going on for now?
This. A bad fortnight after a step is expected. A bad quarter is a reason to talk to somebody who knows your history.
Which day of the week relative to the shot does it hit?
smaller meals, earlier, is the boring advice that works
if it is severe or persistent that is a clinician question, not a board question
That reads like advice, and none of us can give it. Describe what you did, not what somebody else should do.
reflux at night, try not eating in the three hours before bed
holding a dose an extra month is a legitimate answer to bad tolerance
