[NHS] specialist service discharged me at goal and my GP will not continue it

NHS

Confession thread, sort of.

I went from 7.5mg to 2.4mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 4 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.

So now I have sulphur burps I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 17 reads it before doing the same thing.

NHS or private?

The tier 3 pathway in my area: 3 month wait, then 30 months for review, then approved. Total pricing.

Boots stock check: called 12 locations in France, 15 had 15mg in stock. Regional variation is real.

Yeah, the NHS waitlist is genuinely two years in most places.

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