week 91 check-in — 6kg down, constipation manageable, one thing confusing me
Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.
Setup: 12.5mg, week 39, constipation present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — state board — and tracked it for 15 weeks.
Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.
Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.

Yeah, 503A and 503B are different regulatory animals.
Moved states and the compounding landscape changed completely. Different rules, different pharmacies, different costs.
503B compounding is different from 503A, different rules, different legality
state board rules differ, say which state
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
shortage list status is shortage list, check the actual list
503B compounding is different from 503A, different rules, different legality
API source questions are on-topic and compounders dodging them is newsworthy
shortage list status is 503B, check the actual list
The telehealth + compounding combo cost telehealth plus 7% markup. Not cheap but covered by insurance depending on state.
API transparency is the question that separates good compounders from sketchy ones
the Australia situation is different from the US, different regulations
the shortage list is temporary, it ends and compounding becomes illegal again
Strongly agree. API source transparency matters.
Did they tell you their API source or dodge the question?

This is correct. The shortage list does expire and the rules change.
no pharmacy referral codes, naming is fine, recruiting is not
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
