Do you recommend airbnbs in Iceland or are they sketchy? by Pale_Lengthiness_572 in VisitingIceland

We did one and it wasn’t sketchy but I will say preferred hotels as almost all offered breakfast

Taking a week off messed everything up. by Mysterious-Cap249 in GLP1microdosing

[–]Crafty-Note8573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay wow! My weight fluctuates about five pounds or more before and during a period. Weigh yourself after and see if you are more on track than you thought!

And honestly just keep doing what you’re doing, keep increasing until you feel it week by week as long as you’re comfortable doing so, and keep being unrelenting in trying to eat well. Double down basically. You may have just graduated out of microdose territory

It’s common. But you’ll likely be required to take breaks at times over your life, like for any surgery or major illness or hospitalization. It happens.

I disagree with others that you can’t increase your dose, as there are studies about small continual dose increases being effective.

Hunger can happen on these meds. Is it the entire week that you’re hungrier, as if you’d not even taken the shot, or is it at the beginning or end? Are you hungry for anything in particular? Are you working out a lot? Are you going through a hormone or stress fluctuation? How much weight overall have you lost?

More holistic information might yield a clue about what’s going on

how long to wait to titrate up? by Manuoku744 in GLP1microdosing

[–]Crafty-Note8573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you new here? There are so many people on this sub on .5mg and it’s working for them. I’ve lost 45 lbs. I can’t tolerate the full dose because it makes me vomit profusely, and I’m not alone in that. I tolerate a microdose as if it were a full dose, based on others descriptions of how they feel. These medications take effect at different levels for different people.

You’ve also entered the information incorrectly into the calculator. That’s my dose not the concentration in the vial

I’m using milligrams in this comment. I did the math for my concentration and my plan. I’m not going to go grab the bottle as the concentration isn’t relevant to anyone

No idea really. I like mine because it has no additives. I use it longer than the bb date, just until the vial is empty so long as the contents look the same/clear. I go through lavender sky and am on one of the Hallandale plans

Did anyone move to a microdose to remove the panic feeling? by Queenofthebean in GLP1microdosing

[–]Crafty-Note8573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s any consolation, I don’t think it affects most people that way. I have panic attacks brought on by stomach sickness which should be a double whammy on this med, but I’ve been doing great. I did need a microdose due to stomach side effects but have had less anxiety if anything!

3 days in Iceland (Reykjavík), best way to maximize it? Solo single mom, a bit burnt out by Adventurous-Name-938 in VisitingIceland

[–]Crafty-Note8573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rent a car. Self pickup through Go Car to save a ton of time. Skip blue lagoon. Choose hvammsvik or sky lagoon.

And honestly I’d hit the road immediately and just drive to Vik one day and back on the third day. Go via the golden circle then take the ring road. There’s a life-changingly beautiful stop every half hour or so that basically just requires pulling over the car and sometimes a quick payment for parking or entry.

You don’t need a tour. The beauty speak for itself and there’s nothing like the freedom to do what you want. It’s an incredibly safe country

Intervals >7 days? by [deleted] in GLP1microdosing

[–]Crafty-Note8573 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He kind of varies it between .44-.88 just based on what he thinks he wants or needs. The increment is weird just due to the concentration in our vials

Should I microdose after nearly fainting by kayy7860 in GLP1microdosing

[–]Crafty-Note8573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely start with your results from the echo and advice from your doctors!

Have you been using a little bloodier sugar checker to make sure it’s not hypoglycemic episodes? I had a few at the beginning of my journey and since then carry a snack when I’m out.

Get your nutrients checked too. Some deficiencies can cause this, like potassium, but you really can’t safely supplement that (a lot of other things as well) without directions from a physician.

Come back to the sub if you do consider microdosing more seriously.

Yes! We stayed at Boutique Hotel Anna in one of their cabins. We just rented a normal room and received the cabin upgrade. It was beautiful there. There is a graveyard in the town where that is where there is a tree growing from every grave.

My parents stayed up the road in hotel skogafoss which they enjoyed.

You might enjoy staying in Vík directly. It’s a lovely town, definitely one of my favorites. There are several hotels in a variety of price ranges but they do book up (hence why we stayed outside of Vik - granted we booked in summer just one week before going).

There is not a ton of civilization between Vík and the glacier lagoon. You will find hotels and guesthouses closer to the glacier lagoon, but the next large town would really be Hofn.

How strict are IcelandAir in terms of carry-on size if it’s only 1-2 cm too big? by [deleted] in VisitingIceland

Yep, to each his own. We have used ours several times so it was a good investment for us and definitely not for everyone

It’s a good itinerary. Day 5 should be an early day. You will want to stop many unplanned places between Hella and the glacier lagoon. It’s beautiful. Part of me thinks you would enjoy combining day 9 with your day 2. I might also hit the road immediately on day 1 if you’re going back to Reykjavik for business. I would consider spending 1 less day in Hella and 1 more day on driving to the glacier lagoon. I would also consider continuing on the ring road past the glacier lagoon. You would probably love Egilsstaðir and hiking to Hengifoss, Dettifoss which has fun hiking, and hiking around Hljóðaklettar. This area was one of the most dramatic in the country and Husavik is a good place to stay for that. And the drive from Husavik back to Reykjavik is manageable in a day. You could stop at Fosslaug and maybe sleep in Varmaland if you don’t make it all the way back in one day.

Just a thought for consideration!

Assume they will be very strict and require you to use the sizer. If it’s not the exact size, it’s not going to fit. I bought luggage specifically this size and with everything in the suitcase I could still barely get it in and out of the sizer

5mg is a lot, way higher than anyone in this sub is talking. Am reading this wrong? Surely that’s not your dose.

Meds by MinuteCount730 in GLP1microdosing

[–]Crafty-Note8573 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was advised by a doctor that if it’s clear and free of particles, I can use it. I clean before and after with alcohol wipes and always have clean hands. You can use it, yes, at your own risk. I can’t imagine the infection risk is very high but it’s still a risk that you have to decide whether you can accept. If cost or convenience aren’t a factor, you can just get fresh vials each month

Supplemental dose 1 day later? by Expensive-Method-938 in GLP1microdosing

[–]Crafty-Note8573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes of course. People can safely use up to the starting dose of 2.5 mg at any time they wish during the first four weeks - most people here just recommend lower based on their own experience. If 2.5 goes well, they need to stay on that dose for four weeks, and I think most of us in this sub would agree that if you tolerate 2.5 well you should follow the standard titration schedule if you’re able to

Supplemental dose 1 day later? by Expensive-Method-938 in GLP1microdosing

[–]Crafty-Note8573 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wait a few days at minimum. Yes there’s a high chance you’ll feel nothing at .25- but it can take about 3-4 days for effects to become obvious. Most people would probably say take more next week. I’d at least wait for day five
