is it normal to get injection-site soreness at week 54

Discussion Receipts ×3 Well Actually ×1

Quick one. Canada here.

province works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given advice that simply does not apply outside the US.

Specifics: the route I used took 19 weeks and cost roughly what I expected. The admin was worse than the cost. The thing that would have saved me the most time was knowing which document to ask for at the start.

Happy to answer questions from anyone in the same jurisdiction.

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

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.

Adding to this: special authorization is doing more work than the comment implies.

Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.

Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.

Yeah, Australia coverage is not Australia coverage.

This is correct. Name your province.

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

Strongly agree. Provincial variation is real.

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

Slight fix: the number was 97.6, not 97.4. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

Small correction: the trial was 17 weeks, not 3. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

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