hair loss vs sulphur burps — genuinely asking which matters more

PSA The Quiet One ×3 Receipts ×2

Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.

Setup: 5mg, week 24, injection-site soreness present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — constipation — and tracked it for 16 weeks.

Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.

Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.

How many weeks in are you? 20 weeks is noise, 10 weeks is a trend.

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

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

u/emil_barros166 points·2 years ago

This is correct.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 2 weeks to accept.

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.

early fullness at 2.5mg is different from 1.0mg

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

This is correct. The the food-noise thing is horrible for three weeks and then just ends.

the food-noise thing stops around week 34 for most people

u/marit_coelhoOP29 points·2 years ago

This is correct.

Disagree on that part. 98.1% and 97.9% on the same vial is normal.

Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.

the early fullness passes. i promise. not medical advice.

Same experience. Week 57 and it simply stopped. I know that is not useful information but it is what happened.

sulphur burps are disgusting but not dangerous, 11 weeks and they stopped

Are you on a pen or research vial? The formulation changes the profile.

Same experience. Week 41 and it simply stopped. I know that is not useful information but it is what happened.

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.
