switched from 7.5mg to 15mg and the injection-site soreness got better, not worse

Resolved Clean Column ×5 Well Actually ×1 Sourced ×1

Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.

I have been tracking nausea against eGFR for 15 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.

Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.

tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.

Strongly agree. Describe your dose, your week number, and your titration speed or nobody can help.

Is that before or after you stabilized your gallbladder?

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 78 weeks to accept.

sulphur burps are disgusting but not dangerous, 7 weeks and they stopped

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

severe abdominal pain is an urgent-care question, not a forum question

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

Yeah, the injection-site soreness hit on day 13 for me too, not day 1.

Not to be pedantic but constipation and gallbladder are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

u/rina_bergstrom85 points·2 years ago

I am going to push back on this slightly.

u/ayesha_erdogan165 points·2 years ago

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

constipation is real, boring, and fixable

u/ferran_dahlberg117 points·2 years ago

Same experience. Week 14 and it simply stopped. I know that is not useful information but it is what happened.

replysharereportpermalink
u/ayesha_erdogan72 points·2 years ago

Did the the food-noise thing start before or after the dose increase?

u/hassan_ostergaard512 points·2 years ago

I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.

early fullness at 1.7mg is different from 1.0mg

Adding to this: constipation is doing more work than the comment implies.

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.
