[Discussion] the Australia advice in here is 5 years out of date

Discussion The Quiet One ×2 Slow Clap ×1

Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.

I have been tracking PBS against triglycerides for 19 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.

Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.

tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.

Australia here. Waited 12 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.

This is correct. PBS listings matter.

The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.

Yeah, the 2024 rule change was sudden.

Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 85 weeks to accept.

Came off after 2 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

Stalled for 13 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 72.

Came off after 66 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.
