Itching, nausea

I started on the usual schedule beginning at the smallest amount then moving up to the middle and higher levels while remaining at each step for an entire month. I got a stronger vial and mixed it with sterile water to split into several smaller portions of ten milligrams each. I have only taken it on three occasions and my spouse takes it too without any problems. Before beginning this I already dealt with widespread itchiness that always seemed tied to eating sweets. Even though I no longer feel the urge for those foods the itching has returned and feels strongest right after getting out of bed. All my blood tests came back fine including a full check of thyroid function by a specialist. The sole abnormal result is elevated inflammation markers but nothing explains why. Since starting the lowest amount my monthly cycle stretched out for weeks and I was told this meant things were settling down. Shedding pounds was never my aim so the lack of change on the scale did not surprise me though I hoped my system was balancing out. I have no clue what is happening now. Every possible exam has been completed without any explanation. At the same time the tiredness has become overwhelming and I end up sleeping nearly all day without being able to do anything.

Thanks for pointing that out. In my view that's what really matters when trying to shed pounds. I've picked up tons of info from videos by a doctor online.

Pushing ahead when my system was clearly resisting felt pointless and risked creating extra trouble. I ended up thinking about quitting tirz to try reta instead or finding another route to steady metabolism that skips GLP-1 meds altogether.

Thank you for sharing more details, it clarified things for me. From what you've said, my situation didn't seem like a typical adjustment to the medication. I started with itching and raised CRP levels, indicating some kind of inflammation or histamine issue already present. The medication appeared to heighten those responses in my case, despite normal test results. My tiredness was so bad I slept nearly twenty hours daily, along with pains and increased itching, which felt unusual and not something to ignore. Bleeding that lasted longer at the beginning pointed to my body being stressed right away. I found out there's no need to raise the amount each month. For conditions like PCOS and balancing metabolism, the smallest amount that helps with tests and how I feel works better than pushing higher. The aim isn't to suppress hunger but to keep things steady. Because my symptoms were widespread and made things hard, I decided to pause the medication completely for a while to let my system recover. Seeing if things got better without it gave me key insights. If they stayed the same, it meant other factors were involved that the med was affecting. Even when my partner handled it okay, individual responses vary a lot with PCOS and existing inflammation. I wasn't making it up, and my body was showing clear signs that this wasn't working for me.

After consulting a blood specialist and receiving an intravenous iron treatment, my tests confirmed the anemia had resolved. A sleep doctor prescribed a breathing machine for nighttime use. A digestive specialist performed both an upper and lower scope exam. A hormone doctor ran checks for various conditions including excess cortisol, with all results coming back normal. Now I'm working with another women's health provider about the extended menstrual bleeding that has lasted five years. As a final attempt to address my insulin problems, I began using this medication. I tried intestinal cleanses and month-long elimination eating plans, yet avoiding triggers has only increased my sensitivities, leaving me unable to handle gluten, dairy, pork, and similar items. Every physician I mentioned the medication to, including when I first obtained it from a standard pharmacy source, dismissed any connection to my symptoms.

Appreciate the suggestion. I'm thinking about pausing this approach for now to observe how things develop. At the moment I'm unsure about my next steps though. I turned to this option somewhat impulsively after dealing with these problems longer than five years with them only intensifying. Multiple physicians have examined me without providing solutions. They simply suggest returning after half a year.

Man, this must be exhausting after all the effort without any solid info coming back. 😢 I really believe giving your system and levels some time to relax is the best step. Trying too much can sometimes create more problems, even if those meds help with the syndrome eventually. If resuming them down the line, going super gradual with minimal amounts and plenty of space between steps, aiming for steady function over fast progress, seems smart from what I've seen. It sucks when the response is to return later, but getting a closer look would be great. This break itself shows what might be needed presently. There's nothing wrong, and choices are still there. Maybe resting and getting stable is what comes now. 😊

After looking at the number it came out to 65 and I figured that might be beyond what I can manage right now. So I'm pausing for the time being and checking my condition later.

Seeing the sixty five nearly pushed me toward missing the ten milligram shot and moving straight onto twelve point five instead. Higher amounts seem like they could cause issues for me and the change felt pretty substantial. Wishing for a quick recovery.

During the opening three months on that compounded version I dealt with strong itching plus raised bumps across my midsection especially under tight clothing bands. I also felt wiped out constantly needed extra sleep and noticed thinning hair along with blocked bowels and zero hunger though the scale barely moved at first. A skin specialist could not pinpoint the cause but supplied two weeks of antihistamine plus prednisone which cleared up the whole mess like magic. Once my digestion restarted the pounds dropped fast. Looking back I think stored fat turned into lots of free fatty acids floating around and exiting via breath kidneys bowels and skin causing that rash from ketones. Hot baths with scrubbing plus thick ointment afterward long bike rides high dose vitamin C anti inflammatory tablets and allergy pills brought the most comfort. I have since hit my target size reversed the related health issues and cut back to a maintenance level that keeps appetite in check. The ketone compounds seemed to bother skin openings worst where fabric pressed down. I feel fortunate I stuck with the shots through all that. A gentler ramp up would probably have caused less trouble since the pace outstripped how quickly my system could adjust. Spotting those body signals earlier might have spared me some misery.

Your experiences sound a lot like mine, except I don't have any issues with being backed up. Probably because I use that mineral supplement before bed each evening. The skin irritation gets really bad whenever I take off my clothes, which fits what you mentioned. Still, I'm planning to stop for several weeks since I'm not feeling great at the moment. Later on I might start again with less and check how it goes. Appreciate you posting about it.

Apparently that skin issue tied to ketosis shows up only occasionally. With my extremely light complexion that never develops color from exposure and lacks pigment entirely, listed as the first category on the scale, the skin specialist failed to spot the cause of my problems since I omitted mentioning the several months when I administered T to myself. This took place over six months earlier. I keep using a minimal daily portion of an allergy blocker and have adjusted downward to a steady amount of T intended to reduce cravings.

I figure the ketone bodies leaving also upset the pores on my head the way they affected the skin on my body. Plenty of hair came loose as a result. It's coming in again now, which is nice, so goodbye to the alopecia.

Since I come from India my skin holds plenty of pigment giving it a brown tone so it doesn't match that.
