comment on week 36 check-in — 12kg down, injection-site soreness manageable, one thing confusing me in c/vendorvetting · 131 points · 1 year ago
The PeptideMeter and Medutest numbers on the same vial from QYB came back 98.9% and 98.7%. Both are right, inter-lab variance is real.

early fullness at 1.0mg is different from 15mg

The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.

comment on small win: TGA stopped being a problem at week 55 in c/glp1aus · 57 points · 1 year ago
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 13–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

Yeah, the sulphur burps hit on day 21 for me too, not day 1.

comment on [Question] concentration — what am I missing here in c/reconstitution · 69 points · 1 year ago
Spent 4 weeks confused about concentration math until someone showed me the table. 20mg, 2mL, concentration is 20/2.

IANAD and neither is anyone upvoting this
comment on TGA is the most under-discussed thing in c/customs in c/glp1aus · 71 points · 1 year ago
Came off after 19 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.
comment on [Results] 86 weeks on 5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/reconstitution · 431 points · 1 year ago
The single most useful thing I did was write the concentration on the vial. Stopped all the confusion after that.
comment on [PSA] heart rate is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/sideeffects · 1 points · 1 year ago
nausea on day 2 is normal, nausea after week 69 is worth checking
Disagree on that part. 98.1% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring bacteriostatic water at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/reconstitution · 25 points · 1 year ago
Is that 30mg vial or 15mg?
comment on the nausea question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/sideeffects · 8 points · 1 year ago
resting heart rate moved up 9 bpm and settled back down when I stopped escalating
