4 months in and Canada is still the thing I get wrong

Private Plan Clean Column ×2

Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.

Setup: 2.5mg, week 82, constipation present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — special authorization — and tracked it for 19 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.

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

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

Mechanistically the bit that matters is formulary. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.

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.

Maintenance for 22 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.

Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.
