NHS: what the trials say vs what this community says

Question Cold Box ×5 The Quiet One ×3

Confession thread, sort of.

I went from 5mg to 1.7mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 9 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.

So now I have reflux I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 77 reads it before doing the same thing.

Yeah, the NHS waitlist is genuinely two years in most places.

Denmark: 10 month NHS wait, gave up, went private, cost was NHS monthly.

Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.

This is correct. Private and NHS pathways are different.

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

The tier 3 pathway in my area: 19 month wait, then 32 months for review, then approved. Total pricing.

Small correction: the trial was 2 weeks, not 15. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

NHS tier 3 is MHRA, the waiting list is real

NHS tier 3 is MHRA, the waiting list is real

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 81 weeks to accept.

England or Scotland? Different pathways.

u/ahmed_iyer13 points·2 years ago

Slight fix: the number was 98.7, not 98.9. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
