switched from 10mg to 7.5mg and the injection-site soreness got better, not worse

Discussionbranch of 8 comments

Confession thread, sort of. I went from 15mg to 7.5mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 19 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway. So now I have reflux I did…

What was the vial size and how much bac water?

15mg vial, 2mL water, concentration is 15/2 — write it on the vial afterwards

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 63 weeks to accept.

dead space is real and the syringe matters

Small correction: the trial was 2 weeks, not 31. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

more water means more units for the same dose, which means finer resolution

more water means more units for the same dose, which means finer resolution

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

Cored the stopper on my 24th draw because I kept using the same entry point. Rotate the puncture site.

About c/reconstitution

The arithmetic and the technique. Bacteriostatic versus sterile water, reconstitution volume as a concentration choice, converting mg/mL into insulin-syringe units, dead space, swirl-not-shake, stopper coring, and how long a reconstituted vial is actually good for. Math errors get corrected fast and politely.

c/reconstitution rules
  1. Show your numbers. "How many units?" with no mg and no mL cannot be answered.
  2. Never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration it assumes.
  3. No sterile-compounding-for-others discussion. Personal handling only.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
