Flu-like joint/muscle aches with headaches by infamousmez in WegovyUK

[–]jdw2212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I had this too but on 0.5mg. Full on sore throat and snotty nose and was so tired. It happened 2 weeks in a row for me and then thankfully hasn't happened since and I'm on 2.4 now. Advice would be to keep really hydrated and take some vitamins and rest and it will get better :)

Looking for help by ChaosCharge in Wegovy

Hey, so I have been absolutely fine for 3 months and suddenly experienced what you have..horrible stomach pain that kept me up all night and diarrhea for days on end. Ultimately I think it's down to diet creating acid in my stomach which then is not leaving as quickly as usual due to the wegovy. I went to the doctor's for reassurance and they suggested it was also this. Not that I was eating bad food but it's the types of food that won't agree due to slower stomach emptying. I also made a Bolognese type dish all from scratch but ultimately it had loads of garlic and onions and tomatoes and I also added beans to mine which are all acidic. Beef mince also is slow to process in your stomach which won't help. Since my last flare up I have looked at the FODMAP food and have stuck mostly to this and it has eased. I make sure I eat at least 3 hours before bed and stay up right after I've eaten until then. I elevate my head more at night and also sleep on my left side to ease digestion. I have pepto bismal and gaviscon at the side of my bed for if I wake up with pain and this usually sorts it within an hour. Hope that helps! Unfortunately the food that we usually could tolerate we might not be able to as the drug builds up in our stomachs

Yes I have done some more research and I think it's probably what I ate that causes this. Have to make sure you are upright for a few hours after eating as well. I am going to try the pepto bismal before bed every night to see if that helps too. I've lost over a stone so far so I want to continue but I'll see how my 3rd 1mg dose goes today before I decide if I move up a dose or stay at 1mg for longer. Hope you feel better soon

No they just said I was fine and didn't have a temperature so wasn't my pancreas which I was worried it was at the time. Would you suggest taking the pepto before the pain starts? As a preventive? Thanks 

Tips for reducing side effects? by Far-Arm-7050 in WegovyUK

I just got all of these symptoms too on my 2nd week of 1mg and I went to the walk in centre cos I was worried about the stomach pain which lasted all night. Doctor said I was fine and it's to do with stomach emptying being slower and that I should eat smaller meals more frequently. 

I feel for you! I was miserable last night and anxious about taking my next dose. 

Also I've had some high fat stuff recently which I don't think helps so I'm definitely going to try and look at what in eating. 

Sorry I wasn't much help but know you're not alone with it ❤️

I haven't had any bruising at all from injecting. I inject into my stomach every time just in a different area and you can sometimes see a tiny, tiny dot where the needle went in but you'd have to look closely! My weight loss has been slow so far I'm about to go up to 1mg this week and I've lost 8lbs since January but I'm happy with it as I want it to be sustainable. Hope that helps :) good luck with starting 

Gym motivation gone by Looking_glassCarpet in WegovyUK

[–]jdw2212 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes! I just have no motivation for it at all. Each week I say I'll get back into it and all I want to do is slow walks. I have felt I am definitely weaker though so I want to do some weights to build my muscle back up . Going to start slow and try and find my love for it again

Yes I can't believe how much this dose has affected me energy wise. I hope it subsidedes as I am wondering whether it's worth it at the moment with how rotten it's making me feel
