[Meta] the heart rate rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining
Proposal, not a decision: the heart rate rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining.
Reflux was the one that got me. Stopped eating in the three hours before bed and it went from nightly to almost never.
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.
Mine settled at week 14 and has not come back since, across two more steps.
I will update this if the picture changes rather than quietly leaving it up.
best — the order this archive was captured in
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.
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.
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.
sulphur burps are unpleasant and they are not dangerous
This. A bad fortnight after a step is expected. A bad quarter is a reason to talk to somebody who knows your history.
reflux at night, try not eating in the three hours before bed
Nobody warned me about early fullness and I would have liked the warning. It was not dangerous, it was just deeply unpleasant and completely unexpected.
Disagree. Severe abdominal pain is not on the list of things to wait out, and this board should not be treating it as one.
Has anything else changed in the same window?
That reads like advice, and none of us can give it. Describe what you did, not what somebody else should do.
How long after a step up did this start?
Not convinced by that mechanism. Slowed gastric emptying explains fullness and reflux; it does not explain what you are describing.
Held the dose for an extra six weeks instead of stepping. The sulphur burps settled and I lost the same amount anyway.
fibre and water before you buy anything to fix it
Removed the specific recommendation. Describe your own experience here; do not tell another member what to take or what dose to be on.
