comment on stalled for 14 weeks at 5mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/sideeffects · 13 points · 1 months ago
Are you on a pen or research vial? The formulation changes the profile.
comment on bacteriostatic water is the most under-discussed thing in c/cagrilintide in c/reconstitution · 8 points · 1 months ago
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
comment on tried telehealth for 15 weeks. here is what happened. in c/compounding · 5 points · 1 months ago
state board rules differ, say which state
comment on 2 months in and mg/mL is still the thing I get wrong in c/reconstitution · 91 points · 1 months ago
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
comment on am I the only one who found heart rate harder than the injections in c/sideeffects · 41 points · 1 months ago
Same experience. Week 55 and it simply stopped. I know that is not useful information but it is what happened.
comment on someone explain step therapy to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/insurancefights · 2 points · 2 months ago
Strongly agree. Step therapy is predictable if you have the criteria.
comment on the beginner question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/newbiequestions · 1 points · 2 months ago
Titration means going slow. The 2.4mg is the starter, not the dose you stay on, not the dose you need to feel it.

the beginner question that gets asked weekly, answered properly
Been lurking in c/coa for about 3 months and finally have something worth posting. Short version: week 86, 0.5mg, and week one is the bit I still cannot get a straight…
comment on anyone else notice prior authorization kicking in around week 69 in c/insurancefights · 208 points · 2 months ago
say which country and which plan type
comment on Germany: first time, and what it actually costs here in c/newbiequestions · 6 points · 2 months ago
Slight fix: the number was 98.9, not 99.0. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
comment on small win: units stopped being a problem at week 11 in c/reconstitution · 0 points · 3 months ago
dead space is real and the syringe matters
comment on small win: units stopped being a problem at week 11 in c/reconstitution · 158 points · 3 months 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 someone explain beginner to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/newbiequestions · 16 points · 3 months ago
This is a good question, genuinely.
comment on unpopular opinion: lost money is massively overrated in c/darkspot · 13 points · 3 months ago
Week 95 for me and the honest summary is: 6kg down, fatigue manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.
comment on external review: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/insurancefights · 0 points · 3 months ago
external review is the appeal after insurance says no
comment on tried failure for 9 weeks. here is what happened. in c/darkspot · 1 points · 3 months ago
Did anything else change in the same window?

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about what went wrong in c/darkspot · 29 points · 4 months ago
Small correction: the trial was 20 weeks, not 13. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
