[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are you feeling, OP? [/quote]

It's been pretty fascinating. I don't usually react to medicines - rarely have side effects or even feel the affect directly. But this is quite different.

For about the first 24-36 hours I feel DISTINCTLY different and not altogether comfortable. I'd describe the sensation as feeling bloated and gassy (without any actual gas). There was some mild but steady/regular cramping, some fatique, and headaches. By day 2 it was noticeably subsiding and today (3rd full day) I feel pretty normal. And throughout it all there has been practically no hunger at any point, and when I do eat I only want a little - so I had to be pretty intentional about getting enough water/protein/calories - which is SUCH a reversal of focus it's astonishing.

It's really bizarre. I wouldn't have said I was governed by cravings but this total absence of a physical push to eat is really disconcerting.  So I guess I'm encouraged - we'll see if I get the same symptoms w/ successive shots or if that subsides (or if it's substantially worse if/when I go up a level in dose).

And I'm down a couple of pounds but I'm sure that is just water weight - especially as the discomfort wanes and I figure out how best to eat. I was able to eat more normally and comfortably today so I'm still navigating the learning curve.

Anyway - that's the update so far. :-)[/quote]
