formulary exclusions are negotiable sometimes
comment on Janoshik is the most under-discussed thing in c/sideeffects in c/labresults · 4 points · 1 year ago
Batch number?
Disagree on that part. 98.1% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.
comment on [Vendor] WXT order #21 — France, 39 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/labresults · 23 points · 1 year 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 survodutide vs hepatic fat — genuinely asking which matters more in c/survodutide · 52 points · 1 year ago
Small correction: the trial was 23 weeks, not 11. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify batch in c/labresults · 33 points · 1 year ago
Homopeptide / BPC / batch 19 / PeptideMeter / 99.3% — that is the shape
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 57 weeks to accept.
comment on [Vendor] WXT order #9 — the Netherlands, 17 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/insurancefights · 214 points · 1 year ago
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
comment on dead space — my 22-week log, condensed into one table in c/reconstitution · 157 points · 1 year ago
Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.

the heart rate signal is real in the data
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 75 weeks to accept.
comment on 14 months in and formulary is still the thing I get wrong in c/insurancefights · 15 points · 1 year ago
say which country and which plan type
comment on [Discussion] the Medutest advice in here is 8 years out of date in c/labresults · 1 points · 1 year ago
inter-lab variance is real, 4 points is inside normal
comment on reconstitution vs mg/mL — genuinely asking which matters more in c/reconstitution · 23 points · 1 year ago
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
comment on genuine question about external review that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/insurancefights · 32 points · 2 years ago
Yeah, the denial code matters, it tells you what to fight.
comment on switched from 15mg to 1.0mg and the reflux got better, not worse in c/insurancefights · 77 points · 2 years ago
external review is the appeal after insurance says no

say which country and which plan type
comment on switched from 7.5mg to 5mg and the early fullness got better, not worse in c/survodutide · 29 points · 2 years ago
phase 2 data is interesting, phase 28 will be different
comment on reading survodutide threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/survodutide · 23 points · 2 years ago
rodent survodutide is investigation only

Week 26 for me and the honest summary is: 14kg down, reflux manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.
