[Discussion] fatigue is doing more work than we give it credit for
fatigue is doing more work than we give it credit for. Not a hot take, just something I have not seen said plainly here.
Held the dose for an extra six weeks instead of stepping. The sulphur burps settled and I lost the same amount anyway.
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.
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.
Ask me anything specific. Anything general I will probably get wrong.
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 76 probably does not, and that is worth saying to a clinician rather than to us.
Disagree. Severe abdominal pain is not on the list of things to wait out, and this board should not be treating it as one.
the injection-site soreness that arrives at week 78 out of nowhere is usually something else
Agreed. Slowing down at meals did more for my reflux than everything I bought to fix it, which was embarrassing to discover.
Has anything else changed in the same window?
Are you eating in the couple of hours before you sleep?
