comment on three years of 503A threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/compounding · 111 points · 1 year ago
The 503A pharmacy I used lost their shortage list eligibility. Same day, compounding became illegal. Rules are real.
comment on [Results] 47 weeks, 26kg, and non-scale victory was the hard part in c/progresspics · 1 points · 1 year ago
Slight fix: the number was 97.6, not 95.1. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
comment on [Results] 7 weeks, 25kg, and Medutest was the hard part in c/labresults · -21 points · 1 year 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 [Meta] proposal — a flair for eGFR posts in c/bloodwork · 1 points · 1 year ago
Strongly agree. ALT is where you catch the liver story early.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring telehealth at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/compounding · 52 points · 2 years ago
Yeah, 503A and 503B are different regulatory animals.
comment on anyone else notice ferritin kicking in around week 34 in c/bloodwork · 6 points · 2 years ago
This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.
comment on [Results] 91 weeks on 0.25mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/labresults · -23 points · 2 years ago
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
comment on reading state board threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/compounding · 58 points · 2 years ago
Did they tell you their API source or dodge the question?
comment on stalled for 13 weeks at 2.4mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/bloodwork · 477 points · 2 years ago
Strongly agree. ALT is where you catch the liver story early.
comment on [Meta] the below spec rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/labresults · 188 points · 2 years ago
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
comment on help me understand 503A, I have read the wiki twice in c/compounding · 56 points · 2 years ago
regulatory claims need a citation to the actual rule, not interpretation

The telehealth + compounding combo cost 503B plus 16% markup. Not cheap but covered by insurance depending on state.
comment on ferritin — my 8-week log, condensed into one table in c/bloodwork · 21 points · 2 years ago
Same lab both times?

redact identifying details from lab PDFs before posting

Tracking number removed.
Adding to this: lipids is doing more work than the comment implies.
comment on week 56 check-in — 22kg down, muscle cramps manageable, one thing confusing me in c/bloodwork · 225 points · 2 years ago
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
comment on 9 months in and ApoB is still the thing I get wrong in c/bloodwork · 1.4k points · 2 years ago
ferritin tanks quietly on a reduced appetite, check it
comment on is it normal to get early fullness at week 15 in c/labresults · 63 points · 2 years ago
multiple batches from KP show a spread, that is the data
comment on [Question] Janoshik — what am I missing here in c/labresults · 18 points · 2 years ago
Homopeptide / BPC / batch 9 / Medutest / 99.0% — that is the shape
