shortage is the most under-discussed thing in c/customs

TGA Well Actually ×9 The Quiet One ×2

Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.

Setup: 1.0mg, week 35, constipation present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — New Zealand — and tracked it for 5 weeks.

Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.

Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.

Strongly agree. AU and NZ differ.

Disagree on that part. 93.7% and 99.3% on the same vial is normal.

TGA watches change monthly, follow the list

Small correction: the trial was 15 weeks, not 39. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.

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

Adding to this: New Zealand is doing more work than the comment implies.

Not to be pedantic but PBS and shortage are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.

Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

The the food-noise thing was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.
