Australia — my 7-week log, condensed into one table

PBS Slow Clap ×4 Well Actually ×3

I have had 11 orders now and I keep a table, so here is the honest summary rather than a vibe.

Material has been consistent. Communication has not. Shipping has varied by about 14 days on nominally the same lane, which matters more in summer than in February.

The independent number came back 96.8% against a claimed 97.2%, which I read as agreement rather than a discrepancy — inter-lab variance on this assay is a point or two either way and treating one lab as ground truth is how people end up in pointless arguments with vendors.

Batch number is in the comments. Ask if you want the method.

the Poland versus Poland distinction is real

This is correct. PBS listings matter.

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 22–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

What is the PBS status?

Came off after 4 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

Yeah, the 2024 rule change was sudden.

My version of this: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part.

the 2024 compounding rule change closed a major route overnight

I am going to push back on this slightly.

Crossposting this to c/labresults because the people who need it are not reading this community.

compounding status changed mid-2024

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with shortage, not with what you concluded.

Disagree on that part. 98.1% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
