weekly update — 12 things I got wrong before I got it right

Discussion Receipts ×3

waist. That is the whole post, but I will justify it.

Everything else people worry about in c/tapering is downstream of it. Titration speed, muscle cramps, the endless dose arguments — most of it resolves if you sort waist out first, and almost nobody does.

I say this having got it wrong for 15 months. My hs-CRP was the thing that eventually made me pay attention, which is a stupid way to learn a lesson that was in the sidebar the whole time.

Yeah, the consistency is the value.

Canada here. Waited 10 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.

logs that stop 8 days get Concluded flair automatically

The early fullness was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.

Second this question. I have wondered about waist for 20 months and never seen a straight answer.

Second this question.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

include dose and date on every update

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

u/emil_barros15 points·8 months ago

dose, date, weight, waist, reflux, labs

the people still updating at week 2 are the reward

This is correct. Long-term logs matter.

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with waist, not with what you concluded.

update rather than repost, 16 people doing this

Stalled for 21 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 67.

The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.

About c/dosinglogs

Public dosing logs kept over months and years: dose, date, weight, waist, side effects, labs. The value is in the boring consistency, so log posts are updated rather than reposted and the community rewards the people still updating at week 90.
