[Question] how do you actually verify dead space
Week 9 update. 40kg down from the start, muscle cramps basically gone since about week 49.
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.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Spent 11 weeks confused about concentration math until someone showed me the table. 20mg, 2mL, concentration is 20/2.
bacteriostatic and sterile water are not interchangeable, do not use them that way
dead space is real and the syringe matters
Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.
i am begging people to write down the concentration

Spent 17 weeks confused about concentration math until someone showed me the table. 10mg, 2mL, concentration is 10/2.
Is that 10mg vial or 11mg?
u-100 syringe, not u-40, or your math is off by factor of 15
The single most useful thing I did was write the concentration on the vial. Stopped all the confusion after that.
Show the arithmetic. Where did the units come from?

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

Disagree on that part. 98.9% and 99.0% on the same vial is normal.
stopper coring on the 24th draw because you keep using the same entry point. rotate.

Disagree on that part. 99.2% and 97.6% on the same vial is normal.
20mg vial, 2mL water, concentration is 20/2 — write it on the vial afterwards

Are you using a u-100 or u-40 syringe? That changes everything.
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.
dosing errors come from people reconstituting two vials differently and forgetting which is which

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
This is correct. 2mL versus 9mL is the common mistake.
You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.
