small win: nausea stopped being a problem at week 58
Update, and the title has the headline: small win: nausea stopped being a problem at week 58.
injection-site soreness for the first eight days after each step, then nothing, every single time. Predictable enough that I started planning my week around it.
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.

best — the order this archive was captured in
The pattern almost everyone here describes, written out once so it can be linked.
A step up is followed by a rough window — commonly reflux arriving the day after the shot and easing by day four, worst in the first fortnight, then flattening out. At a stable dose it usually settles further. Constipation and fatigue tend to track intake and fluid rather than the compound directly, which is why the unglamorous answers work.
What sits outside that pattern: severe pain, symptoms that appear from nowhere weeks into a stable dose, or anything getting worse rather than better over a month. None of that is a board question and none of us can answer it for you.
That symptom is not the one being described upthread. Two different things with similar names and the answers are not interchangeable.
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.
Which day of the week relative to the shot does it hit?
sulphur burps are unpleasant and they are not dangerous
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.
Correction: that is a known effect of reduced intake rather than a direct drug effect. The distinction matters because the fix is different.
Yes — the day-two-to-day-four window is so consistent across this board that it is almost diagnostic.
Left up. It is a description of one person’s week and it is flagged as such.
Same pattern here. It settled at a stable dose without me doing anything clever.
Constipation is mostly reduced intake plus reduced fluid, not a direct effect. That is why the boring fibre and water answer keeps working.

Agreed, with the caveat that "usually settles" is not "always settles" and the exceptions should still get asked about properly.
How long after a step up did this start?

mikkel_kimani is right about the timing. The day-of-week pattern is the diagnostic bit, not the severity.
What is intake actually looking like — fibre and water especially?
Not convinced by that mechanism. Slowed gastric emptying explains fullness and reflux; it does not explain what you are describing.
Bought four different things to fix my early fullness. What actually worked was eating half as fast.
Right, and the hair thing is worth repeating: it tracks the rate of loss rather than the compound, and it stops.
