why do people talk about units and mg like they are different things

Wiki Long Haul ×7 Slow Clap ×3

Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles.

The claim: basics matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have been asserting it confidently for about 3 months without either producing anything.

What would actually settle it is 21 people measuring the same thing the same way. I have started; my numbers are below. They lean one way but not strongly enough for me to declare victory.

If you have data, post the data. If you have an opinion, flair it as an opinion.

The injection was scarier than the week one itself. 9 seconds and I was shocked it was the easiest part.

Week 7 or week 21?

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 68 weeks to accept.

Not to be pedantic but beginner and what is are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

what is a COA — certificate of analysis, document from the lab

no question too basic, read the wiki first, then ask anyway

Are you on a pen or vial?

week two nothing happening — yes, that is normal

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with basics, not with what you concluded.

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.

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