[Discussion] the nausea advice in here is 3 years out of date
the nausea advice in here is 3 years out of date. Making the case below, and I expect to lose some of it in the comments. Pulling the figures out of the title: 3 years. All of it is written down as it happened rather than reconstructed. The effect on gastric emptying is most pronounced early and attenuates with…
Disagree. Severe abdominal pain is not on the list of things to wait out, and this board should not be treating it as one.
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.
Are you eating in the couple of hours before you sleep?
Which day of the week relative to the shot does it hit?
a rough fortnight at each step is normal, a rough three months is not
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 food noise going quiet is the effect people came for, and nausea is the toll for the first fortnight
the first fortnight after a step is the worst of it, then it settles
Held the dose for an extra six weeks instead of stepping. The muscle cramps settled and I lost the same amount anyway.
That symptom is not the one being described upthread. Two different things with similar names and the answers are not interchangeable.
fatigue plus low intake is usually just low intake
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 18 and has not come back since, across two more steps.
Correction: that is a known effect of reduced intake rather than a direct drug effect. The distinction matters because the fix is different.
