[Discussion] the stopped advice in here is 14 years out of date
Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles.
The claim: lost money matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have been asserting it confidently for about 22 months without either producing anything.
What would actually settle it is 21 people measuring the same thing the same way. I have started; my numbers are below. They lean one way but not strongly enough for me to declare victory.
If you have data, post the data. If you have an opinion, flair it as an opinion.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Yeah, the lesson matters.
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.
This is correct. Evidence still required.
no piling on, mistake posts are favours to the community
What are you comparing it against though?
Mechanistically the bit that matters is below spec. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
the lesson is the point
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 20–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.

Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

How many weeks between the two measurements?

Came off after 9 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.
Genuine question — what concentration were you at?
