Your TSH is probably fine. Get it checked anyway if you are symptomatic.

comment on batch vs test results — genuinely asking which matters more in c/labresults · 149 points · 5 months ago
Not to be pedantic but batch and Medutest are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
comment on stalled for 14 weeks at 0.5mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/bloodwork · 2 points · 5 months ago
Ferritin tanked from 20 to 12. Small appetite, reduced iron intake, nobody was testing it until I asked.

do not crack the pen, we have been over this

Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
comment on my ALT moved and I cannot work out whether A1c is why in c/bloodwork · 156 points · 6 months ago
Strongly agree. ALT is where you catch the liver story early.
comment on [Results] 22 weeks, 16kg, and goal was the hard part in c/progresspics · 44 points · 7 months ago
Came off after 91 weeks for financial reasons.
Disagree on that part. 99.2% and 99.3% on the same vial is normal.
comment on [Results] 67 weeks, 16kg, and A1c was the hard part in c/bloodwork · 1 points · 7 months ago
Same lab both times?
comment on someone explain non-scale victory to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/progresspics · -15 points · 7 months ago
text removes the comparison trap
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on goal — my 15-week log, condensed into one table in c/progresspics · 146 points · 8 months ago
Strongly agree. NSV counts.
comment on [Meta] the purity rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/labresults · 145 points · 10 months ago
You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

sample of one, say so
comment on why does nobody talk about SURPASS in c/tirzepatide · 323 points · 11 months ago
the 15mg is the top of the pen, not the required dose
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify ALT in c/bloodwork · 52 points · 1 year ago
This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify ALT in c/bloodwork · 98 points · 1 year ago
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.

My fasting insulin went from 14 to 37 in 44 weeks. The eGFR story shows up in the trend, not the single number.
comment on reading Zepbound threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/tirzepatide · 51 points · 1 year ago
Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
comment on tried PeptideMeter for 11 weeks. here is what happened. in c/labresults · 47 points · 1 year ago
MKM / BPC / batch 10 / PeptideMeter / 98.7% — that is the shape
