[Lab] SGN reta — VendorInvestigate came back 93.7% against a claimed 98.6%

Resolved Cold Box ×3 Sourced ×1

Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.

I have been tracking hair loss against triglycerides for 3 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.

Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.

tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.

Yeah, the sulphur burps hit on day 18 for me too, not day 1.

Strongly agree. Describe your dose, your week number, and your titration speed or nobody can help.

u/zeynep_zielinski1 point·2 years ago

Same experience. Week 54 and it simply stopped. I know that is not useful information but it is what happened.

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

hair loss is real and usually reversible when you stabilize

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

The fatigue passes. I kept a log and the timeline was the only useful thing. 21 weeks and it was basically gone.

severe abdominal pain is an urgent-care question, not a forum question

Disagree on that part. 99.0% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

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

Mechanistically the bit that matters is constipation.

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

u/laila_delgado18 points·2 years ago

Yeah, the reflux hit on day 15 for me too, not day 1.

constipation is real, boring, and fixable

u/marit_coelho44 points·2 years ago

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 83 weeks to accept.

sulphur burps are disgusting but not dangerous, 16 weeks and they stopped

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

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

About c/sideeffects

Side-effect experience and management, with a strong bias toward the ones that are common and boring (nausea, constipation, reflux, fatigue, sulphur burps) and a hard line on the ones that are not (severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, jaundice, vision changes). This community is not a substitute for urgent care and the mods will say so bluntly.
