Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
comment on [Results] 7 weeks, 40kg, and contraception was the hard part in c/glp1women · 30 points · 2 months ago
Slight fix: the number was 97.6, not 97.4.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 10 weeks to accept.
comment on is it normal to get the food-noise thing at week 40 in c/coa · 39 points · 2 months ago
axis labels included, always
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify lipids in c/bloodwork · 4 points · 2 months ago
Is that fasted?
comment on anyone else notice prior authorization kicking in around week 69 in c/insurancefights · 73 points · 2 months ago
Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.
comment on does gallbladder actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/sideeffects · 1 points · 3 months ago
nausea on day 2 is normal, nausea after week 43 is worth checking
comment on formulary is the most under-discussed thing in c/coldchain in c/insurancefights · 1 points · 3 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 telehealth: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/compounding · 1 points · 3 months ago
telehealth costs telehealth plus compounding markup, total varies
comment on tracking is the most under-discussed thing in c/coldchain in c/dosinglogs · 49 points · 4 months ago
long-running logs are the value
Disagree on that part. 99.0% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.
comment on [Discussion] the 503A advice in here is 16 years out of date in c/compounding · 1 points · 4 months ago
API transparency is the question that separates good compounders from sketchy ones
comment on Canada: denial, and what it actually costs here in c/insurancefights · 60 points · 4 months ago
Did you get step therapy or outright denial?
comment on [PSA] fatigue is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/sideeffects · 14 points · 4 months ago
the food-noise thing stops around week 60 for most people
comment on unpopular opinion: state board is massively overrated in c/compounding · -20 points · 4 months ago
The telehealth + compounding combo cost state board plus 24% markup. Not cheap but covered by insurance depending on state.
comment on why does nobody talk about API source in c/compounding · 14 points · 4 months ago
the Poland situation is different from the US, different regulations
comment on the step therapy question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/insurancefights · 133 points · 4 months ago

comment on [Meta] the cycle rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/glp1women · 6 points · 5 months ago
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

The reflux was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.
comment on week 21 check-in — 37kg down, early fullness manageable, one thing confusing me in c/insurancefights · 26 points · 5 months ago
Denied for prior auth, resubmitted with copay documentation, approved on appeal. The criteria exist, you just have to meet them.
