week 41 check-in — 22kg down, muscle cramps manageable, one thing confusing me

Discussion Long Haul ×3 Well Actually ×2 Sourced ×2

Quick one. Canada here.

reflux works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given advice that simply does not apply outside the US.

Specifics: the route I used took 7 weeks and cost roughly what I expected. The admin was worse than the cost. The thing that would have saved me the most time was knowing which document to ask for at the start.

Happy to answer questions from anyone in the same jurisdiction.

Went to A&E convinced it was pancreatitis. Lipase normal. It was gallstones. Get checked, do not post and wait.

hair loss is real and usually reversible when you stabilize

My constipation was worst at 7.5mg and better at 10mg, which makes no sense but it is real.

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

sulphur burps are disgusting but not dangerous, 9 weeks and they stopped

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.

This is correct. The sulphur burps is horrible for three weeks and then just ends.

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

About c/sideeffects

Side-effect experience and management, with a strong bias toward the ones that are common and boring (nausea, constipation, reflux, fatigue, sulphur burps) and a hard line on the ones that are not (severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, jaundice, vision changes). This community is not a substitute for urgent care and the mods will say so bluntly.

c/sideeffects rules
  1. Severe or escalating abdominal pain is an urgent-care question, not a forum question. We will lock those threads with a pointer to help.
  2. Describe your dose, your week number and your titration speed — otherwise nobody can help.
  3. No diagnosing strangers. Share what happened to you.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
