Week 1 side effects

[Dazzledee]

I started on Saturday night - first few days were fine, no side effects and suppression. Then Tuesday, boom - the diahorrea started and it hasn't stopped. It is horrendous. I'm literally scared to eat cos it's rubbing out of me, yesterday I had a banana, 1 slice of toast and a cereal bar - and at half 4am I'm still up having it. Is this normal!? When will it stop 😢😢😢
More importantly what do i do on Saturday when due to inject again? I'm scared it just prolongs the symptoms but aware my body might eventually get used to it!
No wonder I'll loose weight, I'm sitting myself thin!!

I did have a few days like this a couple of times at the beginning of both 2.5 and 5. It is generally linked to what you are eating (pretty sure mine was wine!🤦‍♀️)

Take some Imodium or similar, maybe try to avoid sugar (banana and cereal bar) and keep as hydrated as you can. Electrolytes are good to replace the salts and minerals you are losing. Take it easy and be kind to yourself. It will stop eventually.

I started on Wednesday and have had headache.

Have you contacted your provider for advice also?

Have a boiled egg and take it slowly. Always combine a protein with a carb. Hope you’re feeling better.

I had this 48 hours after week 4 injection. It lasted 36 hours and I was miserable, needed time off work in a new job wasn’t great but I was too scared to even leave the house. I didn’t take anymore injections after this as I still don’t know what caused it. I really would like to try again but so worried it might happen again. Everyone tells me your body will adjust but it seems a big risk.
