the milestone thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down

Non-Scale Win Clean Column ×7 Well Actually ×3

Right, the milestone question again, but with numbers this time.

I have 22 data points over 12 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.

The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 9, not week 58. People give up long before the interesting part.

Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.

Yeah, text-only removes the comparison.

Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.

Yeah, text-only removes the comparison.

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

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with non-scale victory, not with what you concluded.

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.

Stalled for 22 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 41.

the milestone change matters as much as the scale

Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 2–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

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

This is correct. Process matters more than the number.

Came off after 61 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

Australia here. Waited 22 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

Disagree on that part. 98.7% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.
