cored the stopper on day 9. rotate your puncture site
Confession thread, sort of.
I went from 0.5mg to 12.5mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 13 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 sulphur burps I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.
Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 11 reads it before doing the same thing.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Reconstituted at 3mL when I meant 21mL. Caught it because the units looked wrong. Write the concentration.
Cored the stopper on my 6th draw because I kept using the same entry point. Rotate the puncture site.
Dead space ate 24 units on a low-volume draw. Tiny impact at 2.5mg, massive impact at 2.4mg.
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
I am going to push back on this slightly.
Two vials, two different concentrations, forgot which was which, almost made a 23 times error. Now I label everything.
Are you using a u-100 or u-40 syringe? That changes everything.
This is correct. 3mL versus 9mL is the common mistake.
Is that 15mg vial or 25mg?
This is correct. 2mL versus 10mL is the common mistake.
