unpopular opinion: special authorization is massively overrated

Question Cold Box ×4 Sourced ×2

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

Setup: 15mg, week 81, sulphur burps present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — province — and tracked it for 11 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.

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

Week 73 for me and the honest summary is: 6kg down, muscle cramps manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.

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

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

Disagree on that part. 98.7% and 99.3% on the same vial is normal.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 59 weeks to accept.

Adding to this: private plan is doing more work than the comment implies.

Strongly agree. Provincial variation is real.
