my hs-CRP moved and I cannot work out whether seizure is why

Discussion Cold Box ×3 Well Actually ×1

Confession thread, sort of.

I went from 12.5mg to 5mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 5 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.

So now I have muscle cramps I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 44 reads it before doing the same thing.

import countries have different thresholds

the 13mg import allowance is New Zealand-specific

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 11–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

What was in the seizure letter?

seizure and reship are different outcomes

Slight fix: the number was 96.8, not 96.2. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

This is correct. State your country always.

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

Strongly agree. Jurisdiction matters.

About c/customs

What happens at the border: personal-import allowances, seizure letters, declared value, research-use documentation and why it is not a magic word, and the enormous variation between jurisdictions that makes most internet advice on this topic worthless.
