[Question] how do you actually verify special authorization

Question Receipts ×3

Been lurking in c/coldchain for about 7 months and finally have something worth posting.

Short version: week 9, 0.25mg, and province is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 31 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.

What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 3.

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.

Stalled for 24 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 14.

special auth turnaround is province-specific

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

Maintenance for 17 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.

Strongly agree. Provincial variation is real.

Strongly agree.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 10 weeks to accept.
