Canada vs formulary — genuinely asking which matters more

Private Plan Slow Clap ×5 Sourced ×1

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

I have been tracking Canada against eGFR for 11 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.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

Which country? Half the answers in this thread only apply in France.

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

the 2 province variation is real

Week 63 for me and the honest summary is: 11kg down, muscle cramps manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.

u/santiago_szabo69 points·11 months ago

The muscle cramps was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.

u/kian_ekstrom0 points·11 months ago

Tracking number removed.

Adding to this: private plan is doing more work than the comment implies.

Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
