What are you comparing it against though?
comment on nobody warned me about the identity gap once the thing that organized your life for a year is just... gone in c/maintenancephase · 46 points · 3 days ago
that's actually a fair and important point, I don't want to romanticize the tracking-obsession part of it either, the two things can both be true, it's a real gap AND letting go of some of the obsessiveness is genuinely healthy
comment on [Meta] should this community rename "maintenance phase" to something that doesn’t sound like an afterthought in c/maintenancephase · 71 points · 3 days ago
agree with the sentiment even if the community name itself probably shouldn't change, maybe just more explicit language in the sidebar about what this place actually covers rather than the name itself

exactly why I hedged it three times in the post itself, felt like I needed to prove I wasn't complaining before I could even describe it
comment on has anyone actually found their floor — the lowest dose that still holds the line in c/maintenancephase · 62 points · 3 days ago
haven't gone down myself, mostly out of fear the quiet-in-my-head effect will come back if I do, which I know isn't a great reason but it's an honest one.
comment on [Milestone] 18 months, at goal for a year of that, and the weirdest part was after the number stopped moving in c/progresspics · 154 points · 3 days ago
the "losing has a narrative, maintaining doesn't" line is exactly right and I've never seen it put that plainly. the scale gave you a story every week. maintenance gives you the same number over and over, which is the goal, but it doesn't feel like a story.

comment on reflux got worse for three weeks then better than baseline in c/sideeffects · 81 points · 8 days ago
This is correct. The injection-site soreness is horrible for three weeks and then just ends.
comment on muscle cramps turned out to be sodium, not magnesium in c/sideeffects · 13 points · 11 days ago
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
comment on [Side Effects] alcohol hits completely differently now and nobody mentioned it in c/sideeffects · 36 points · 11 days ago

telehealth costs 503A plus compounding markup, total varies
comment on [PSA] semaglutide salt forms are not the same molecule as semaglutide in c/compounding · 93 points · 17 days ago

hair loss is real and usually reversible when you stabilize
comment on small win: pentadecapeptide stopped being a problem at week 15 in c/bpc157 · 45 points · 21 days ago
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with sequence, not with what you concluded.
comment on nobody warned me about muscle cramps and I would have liked the warning in c/sideeffects · 20 points · 27 days ago
Is that before or after you stabilized your gallbladder?

no pharmacy referral codes, naming is fine, recruiting is not

Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.
comment on [Meta] can maintenance get its own weekly thread, the loss posts drown us out in c/maintenancephase · 3 points · 1 months ago
This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.
