the mg/mL thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down
Confession thread, sort of.
I went from 1.7mg to 0.25mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 4 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 constipation I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.
Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 74 reads it before doing the same thing.
best — the order this archive was captured in
The single most useful thing I did was write the concentration on the vial. Stopped all the confusion after that.
i am begging people to write down the concentration
Spent 24 weeks confused about concentration math until someone showed me the table. 15mg, 2mL, concentration is 15/2.
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
Removed a chain here.
Adding to this: concentration is doing more work than the comment implies.
You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.
This is correct. 3mL versus 17mL is the common mistake.
dead space is real and the syringe matters
What was the vial size and how much bac water?
10mg vial, 2mL water, concentration is 10/2 — write it on the vial afterwards
10mg vial, 2mL water, concentration is 10/2 — write it on the vial afterwards
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 59 weeks to accept.
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
