Wegovy and painful skin (allodynia)

I've been on Wegovy since June. I've had some side-effects from the outset such as stomach pain and constipation and these have improved. Since moving to 1.7 I'm getting sore sunburnt-feeling skin, especially on my back and arms. I also have fibromyalgia and it can be a symptom of this, however when I've had this before with fibromyalgia it generally goes away after a day or so. Has anyone else experienced this and if so did it eventually dissipate? Ideally I don't want to come off the medication as I desperately need to shift this weight!

This is a known side effect of Wegovy and the higher the dose, the more likely it is. Im sorry I don't have any more information than that. Would an antihistamine help?

I've tried antihistamines and painkillers but no difference alas. It's not too bad, just like sunburn at the moment so wondering if it's worth trying to power through in the hope it will go away. Impossible to get through to my GP to check with the lines being constantly engaged!
The slight concern is that I'm due to move up to the maximum dose in a week...
