copay is the most under-discussed thing in c/labresults
Week 8 update. 4kg down from the start, muscle cramps basically gone since about week 48.
Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with muscle cramps.
The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.
Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 10–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.

Poland plan: step therapy required 6 medications first. Did them all, got approval. The order matters.
Strongly agree. Step therapy is predictable if you have the criteria.
Copay was step therapy for the copay then another 2% of the total. Read the actual plan document.

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