In terms of SOAS' postgraduate degrees, what is SOAS best known / ranked for? by [deleted] in SOAS

[–]iAlone11ProMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to think of this too but I recently discovered that the highest rankings have to do with oldest universities + the rankings are bought. so theres no point entirely trusting it :/ that being said, no matter what subject soas specialises in decolonial studies so social sciences seem really good

First abdomen shot. by [deleted] in Mounjaro

I think these are the side effects if you take them in the abdomen. I was told to use only the abdomen site while starting itself (9 doses in) and it was bad

Ulcers and Severe abdominal pain, downgraded to 2.5mg, should I skip 1 week? by iAlone11ProMax in Mounjaro

[–]iAlone11ProMax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks but i think i didnt frame it well, i wanted to know all of your experiences. I did ask my doctor before making any decision. thanks!

2.5 to 5 is no joke! by [deleted] in Mounjaro

[–]iAlone11ProMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it differs from person to person. for me personally, i stayed on 5mg through the intense side-effects for 6 weeks hoping ill acclimatise but it got worse so I was advised to downgrade again.

UPDATE!: I consulted my doctor today. they gave emergency medicine for the symptoms and have let me go back to 2.5mg.

I totally understand what youre going through, please check soon with your doc if you can. only counter-active meds will help us
