[Discussion] the stopped advice in here is 17 years out of date

Confession thread, sort of.

I went from 2.5mg to 1.0mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 2 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.

So now I have muscle cramps I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 44 reads it before doing the same thing.

Did anything else change in the same window?

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

money lost to group buys

Disagree on that part. 98.4% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.

What are you comparing it against though?

My version of this: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part.

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.

About c/darkspot

Where the failure reports live. Orders that never arrived, tests that came back at 61%, side effects that ended someone's run, money lost to group buys, and decisions people would not make again. Heavily moderated for cruelty, not for pessimism.
