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

My fatigue was worst at 0.25mg and better at 10mg, which makes no sense but it is real.

Crossposting this to c/cryptopay because the people who need it are not reading this community.
Adding to this: heart rate is doing more work than the comment implies.

the 503A/503B distinction is load-bearing, do not blur it

Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
comment on reflux — my 12-week log, condensed into one table in c/sideeffects · 204 points · 1 year ago
early fullness at 12.5mg is different from 10mg
comment on what went wrong is the most under-discussed thing in c/progresspics in c/darkspot · 44 points · 1 year ago
This is correct. Evidence still required.

This is correct. Evidence still required.
comment on step therapy — my 7-week log, condensed into one table in c/insurancefights · 238 points · 1 year ago
say which country and which plan type
comment on anyone else notice units kicking in around week 4 in c/reconstitution · 23 points · 1 year ago
more water means more units for the same dose, which means finer resolution

comment on [Vendor] WXT order #14 — Germany, 29 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/dosinglogs · 3 points · 1 year ago
dose, date, weight, waist, nausea, labs
comment on the Netherlands: mg/mL, and what it actually costs here in c/reconstitution · -25 points · 1 year ago
Show the arithmetic. Where did the units come from?
comment on what is is the most under-discussed thing in c/meta in c/newbiequestions · 14 points · 1 year ago
no question too basic, read the wiki first, then ask anyway
Adding to this: week one is doing more work than the comment implies.

resubmission after denial requires new documentation
comment on constipation: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/sideeffects · -27 points · 1 year ago
Yeah, the the food-noise thing hit on day 24 for me too, not day 1.

I am going to push back on this slightly.
comment on the reflux question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/sideeffects · 210 points · 1 year ago

comment on [Meta] the beginner rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/newbiequestions · 14 points · 1 year ago
week two nothing happening — yes, that is normal
comment on genuine question about bacteriostatic water that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/reconstitution · 103 points · 1 year ago
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 16–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
