comment on [Question] NZ unfunded means full price. is anyone actually paying that. in c/glp1aus · 4 points · 3 days ago
This is correct. PBS listings matter.
comment on tried compounding for 7 weeks. here is what happened. in c/glp1aus · 1 points · 11 days ago
PBS listings change the cost completely
comment on shortage is the most under-discussed thing in c/glp1science in c/glp1aus · 20 points · 25 days ago
AU or NZ?
comment on [Resolved] the QST batch dispute — vendor retested, numbers matched, my error in c/vendorvetting · 1 points · 28 days ago
First order from MKM was great, second one had a different batch and tested lower.
Adding to this: testing is doing more work than the comment implies.

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

What is the PBS status?

How long at maintenance?

one vendor per post, multi-vendor goes in the monthly thread
comment on help me understand long term, I have read the wiki twice in c/maintenancephase · 1 points · 2 months ago
Weight variance within what range?
comment on three years of lowest effective dose threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/maintenancephase · 0 points · 3 months ago
Slight fix: the number was 97.6, not 95.1. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

regain is not a moral failing
comment on why does nobody talk about testing in c/vendorvetting · 303 points · 4 months ago
Yeah, BCH took 16 days and the material was flawless. Both of those things are true.
comment on genuine question about Medutest that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/vendorvetting · 8 points · 4 months ago
Correct. The batch number is load-bearing information, not optional.
comment on dose stretching — 7 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/maintenancephase · 9 points · 4 months ago
the goal weight question changes at maintenance
comment on [Discussion] order records is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/vendorvetting · 11 points · 5 months ago
positive and negative reports both need the same evidence standard
comment on small win: order records stopped being a problem at week 21 in c/vendorvetting · 27 points · 6 months ago
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
comment on is it normal to get the food-noise thing at week 75 in c/glp1aus · 6 points · 6 months ago
TGA shortage notices are temporary
comment on switched from 1.0mg to 0.5mg and the injection-site soreness got better, not worse in c/maintenancephase · 102 points · 7 months ago
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 13–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
comment on [Results] 27 weeks, 45kg, and maintenance was the hard part in c/maintenancephase · 18 points · 7 months ago
Slight fix: the number was 98.0, not 98.1.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 64 weeks to accept.
comment on someone explain vendor to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/vendorvetting · 24 points · 7 months ago
the reship rate on QST is actually pretty consistent
