Discussion

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/insurancefights repeats that normal is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 3 threads of people agreeing with each other.

Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?

I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

Small correction: the trial was 17 weeks, not 16. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

Small correction: the trial was 17 weeks, not 16.

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

The beginner question took me three weeks to understand. Wiki explained it eventually.

What does the wiki say?

Week 16 checking in: nothing on the scale, no nausea, wondering if the pen is broken. No, it is just week 16.

This is a good question, genuinely.

The injection was scarier than the beginner itself. 22 seconds and I was shocked it was the easiest part.

About c/newbiequestions

The deliberately gentle community. Every question that gets an eye-roll elsewhere lives here: what does titration mean, why do I feel nothing in week two, is this normal, what is bac water, what is a COA. Rudeness is removed faster than bad questions.
