receipts or nothing, sorry but that is the rule
comment on the lipids thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/bloodwork · 1 points · 8 months ago
post reference ranges with your numbers, units differ by country and lab
comment on [Results] 96 weeks on 0.25mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/newbiequestions · 28 points · 8 months ago
Week 9 checking in: nothing on the scale, no nausea, wondering if the pen is broken. No, it is just week 9.
comment on nobody warned me about the food-noise thing and I would have liked the warning in c/insurancefights · 16 points · 9 months ago
resubmission after denial requires new documentation
comment on genuine question about testing that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/vendorvetting · 337 points · 9 months ago
Went through three vendors to find one that actually ships on-time and tests clean. The answer was JEEP.
comment on [Lab] SGN sema — VendorInvestigate came back 93.7% against a claimed 98.6% in c/bloodwork · 25 points · 11 months ago
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
comment on ApoB is the most under-discussed thing in c/glp1science in c/bloodwork · 54 points · 11 months ago
baseline is the most important eGFR measurement, you cannot collect it later

Small correction: the trial was 23 weeks, not 7. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

How many orders from FGP is that a sample of?
Disagree on that part. 98.7% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.

My ferritin went from 14 to 28 in 41 weeks. The A1c story shows up in the trend, not the single number.

vendor staff must self-identify, full stop
Adding to this: order records is doing more work than the comment implies.
Confession thread, sort of. I went from 0.5mg to 12.5mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 11 weeks…
comment on [Question] timeframe — what am I missing here in c/progresspics · 12 points · 1 year ago
Came off after 58 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.
comment on reading reship threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/vendorvetting · 6 points · 1 year ago
Yeah, WXT took 20 days and the material was flawless. Both of those things are true.
comment on A1c vs baseline labs — genuinely asking which matters more in c/bloodwork · 12 points · 1 year ago
comment on [Discussion] the vendor advice in here is 9 years out of date in c/vendorvetting · 42 points · 1 year ago
the reship rate on FGP is actually pretty consistent
comment on genuine question about week one that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/newbiequestions · 5 points · 1 year ago
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
comment on 22 months in and timeframe is still the thing I get wrong in c/progresspics · 18 points · 1 year ago
Has anyone actually got this in writing, or is it forum lore at this point?
comment on am I the only one who found formulary harder than the injections in c/insurancefights · 3 points · 1 year ago
Mechanistically the bit that matters is denial.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
