comment on [Pricing] AU pharmacy pricing, six months, three states in c/glp1aus · 10 points · 3 days ago
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
comment on [Question] eGFR dropped 8 points during rapid loss, should i worry in c/bloodwork · 6 points · 4 days ago
Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 55 weeks to accept.

Yeah, data logger is the only acceptable proof.

post reference ranges with your numbers, units differ by country and lab
comment on shortage: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/glp1aus · 2 points · 15 days ago
the New Zealand versus New Zealand distinction is real
comment on my gallbladder came out at month 7 and i would still do it again in c/sideeffects · 9 points · 22 days ago
Yeah, the early fullness hit on day 11 for me too, not day 1.
Adding to this: sulphur burps is doing more work than the comment implies.
comment on my ApoB moved and I cannot work out whether private prescription is why in c/glp1uk · 1 points · 26 days ago
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 51 weeks to accept.

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
comment on anyone else notice gallbladder kicking in around week 39 in c/sideeffects · 1 points · 1 months ago
the food-noise thing stops around week 24 for most people

The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.
comment on [Meta] the hair loss rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/sideeffects · 194 points · 1 months ago
The reflux was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped.
Disagree on that part. 96.2% and 96.8% on the same vial is normal.

comment on reading bloodwork threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/bloodwork · 29 points · 2 months ago
Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
