[Discussion] should c/progresspics stay text-only forever (yes)
Been lurking in c/tapering for about 2 months and finally have something worth posting.
Short version: week 36, 1.7mg, and rules is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 13 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.
What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 42.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Came off after 75 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
Week 39 for me and the honest summary is: 26kg down, fatigue manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.
Strongly agree. Transparency wins.
The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
The nausea was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.
Strongly agree. Transparency wins.

the rules question is policy, not individual
Yeah, the evidence standard works.
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.
