comment on baseline labs — 12 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/bloodwork · 15 points · 2 months ago
My eGFR went from 5 to 4 in 11 weeks.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 62 weeks to accept.
comment on stalled for 10 weeks at 0.5mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/bloodwork · 7 points · 2 months ago
post reference ranges with your numbers, units differ by country and lab
comment on three years of baseline labs threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/bloodwork · 8 points · 2 months ago
eGFR from 14 to 4 is movement, not noise
comment on help me understand glucagon, I have read the wiki twice in c/retatrutide · 120 points · 3 months ago
the glucagon component changes the side effect profile, not just the efficacy Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose.
Disagree on that part. 98.7% and 95.1% on the same vial is normal.
comment on 14 months in and dose escalation is still the thing I get wrong in c/retatrutide · 1 points · 3 months ago
Yeah, phase 2 retatrutide is interesting but it is not comparable to phase 3 compounds.
comment on three years of confirmations threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/cryptopay · 18 points · 3 months ago
Strongly agree. Escrow is non-negotiable for groups.
comment on am I the only one who found test results harder than the injections in c/labresults · 38 points · 3 months ago
multiple batches from QYB show a spread, that is the data
comment on my hs-CRP moved and I cannot work out whether network is why in c/cryptopay · 10 points · 4 months ago
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
comment on anyone else notice Medutest kicking in around week 30 in c/labresults · 13 points · 4 months ago
Slight fix: the number was 98.9, not 99.0. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
comment on formulary: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/insurancefights · 112 points · 4 months ago
Crossposting this to c/cagrilintide because the people who need it are not reading this community.
comment on amylin: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/cagrilintide · -10 points · 4 months ago
The research community is small on cagrilintide. Forum lore changes faster than data.
comment on the step therapy question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/insurancefights · 22 points · 5 months ago
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about USDC in c/cryptopay · 18 points · 5 months ago
Yeah, the network selection matters most.
comment on week 21 check-in — 37kg down, early fullness manageable, one thing confusing me in c/insurancefights · 19 points · 5 months ago
copay is separate from coverage
comment on [Results] 42 weeks, 16kg, and below spec was the hard part in c/labresults · 77 points · 5 months ago
My VendorInvestigate result matched the vendor COA exactly, which is rare. SGN deserves that note in the directory.
comment on does A1c actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/bloodwork · 106 points · 5 months ago
Disagree.
Adding to this: ApoB is doing more work than the comment implies.
comment on batch vs test results — genuinely asking which matters more in c/labresults · 93 points · 5 months ago
Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.
comment on week 76 check-in — 22kg down, muscle cramps manageable, one thing confusing me in c/cagrilintide · 26 points · 5 months ago
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.
comment on USDC: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/cryptopay · 48 points · 5 months ago
network selection matters, wrong chain is the expensive typo
comment on week 36 check-in — 16kg down, reflux manageable, one thing confusing me in c/dosinglogs · 1 points · 5 months ago
Maintenance for 2 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.
