comment on [Results] 56 weeks on 0.25mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/insurancefights · 77 points · 7 months ago

The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

comment on [PSA] write the concentration on the vial. that is the whole post. in c/semaglutide · 47 points · 8 months ago
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on 23 months in and jurisdiction is still the thing I get wrong in c/customs · 12 points · 8 months ago

comment on [Discussion] declared value is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/customs · 22 points · 9 months ago

Strongly agree. Step therapy is predictable if you have the criteria.
comment on someone explain seizure to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/customs · 21 points · 1 year ago
Which country? Rules vary.

step therapy documentation is the weapon, use it
