looking for some advice/reassurance/shared experience please! I have just completed my 4th week at 0.5mg after completing 4 weeks at 0.25mg. I felt absolutely fine for the first 6 weeks, however following my 3rd dose of 0.5 I developed a gnawing stomach ache and horrific sulphur burps which was revealed after vomiting. I felt rough for the following day or so but then symptoms resolved. This week after taking my 4th dose of 0.5 I again developed the gnawing stomach ache, the day after the jab I felt awful - shivery, weak and vomited. Symptoms resolved a little but I still didn’t feel 100% by the following day. My appetite was non existent making it really challenging to eat anything at all. I had a couple of episodes of feeling as though my vision was slightly blurry and developed numbness/pins and needles in one hand. Both of these symptoms resolved quickly but did frighten me! I think maybe electrolytes were thrown off by lack of nutrition? But wondering if anyone’s had similar…. Every evening for the next 4 days after that 4th dose the gnawing stomach ache returned and I’d end up vomiting. By day 5 I felt totally normal again… very strange.
So… I am now in a predicament of wanting to continue with treatment but I am extremely anxious that I’ll feel so unwell again. I have already requested to reduce back to 0.25, I feel like I didn’t really need to increase from this when I did as I had no side effects and was losing weight steadily. Has anyone else felt horrific at 0.5 but okay when reducing back to 0.25?
I don’t know whether to take a break for a few weeks as we’re due to go on holiday in a couple of weeks and I don’t know if I want the stress of worrying about side effects etc….
what would you do?!
thank you so much if you’ve made it this far!
