Yeah, Poland coverage is not Poland coverage.

Moved states and the compounding landscape changed completely. Different rules, different pharmacies, different costs.

regulatory claims need a citation to the actual rule, not interpretation

comment on the scale "stalled" for two months but my DEXA says otherwise, recomp is a stall in disguise in c/glp1muscle · 61 points · 2 days ago

this is the whole argument for tracking FFMI instead of just weight during any stall, it's the only number that flags "you're losing muscle" vs "you're recomping" vs "you're actually stalled"

The 503A pharmacy I used lost their shortage list eligibility. Same day, compounding became illegal. Rules are real.

comment on how did people actually decide "this is my number" instead of just chasing lower forever in c/progresspics · 4 points · 3 days ago

track FFMI too if you can, celebrating a weight number that came partly from muscle loss isn't really "done" in the way that matters

comment on [Discussion] resistance training changes what "stall" should even mean on the scale in c/glp1muscle · 98 points · 4 days ago

this is why I track FFMI now instead of just weight during any flat stretch, it's the number that actually distinguishes "recomping fine" from "actually stalled" from "losing the wrong tissue".

comment on what is bac water and why does everyone keep saying it in c/newbiequestions · 19 points · 4 days ago

Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.

comment on [Non-Scale Win] almost asked about going up, fixed protein and sleep instead, stall broke in c/progresspics · 84 points · 4 days ago

the "almost formulaic" framing is honestly a little humbling, apparently I'm not special, just predictable

steps stayed steady actually, just those two, but good instinct to check

the Spain answer is not the Spain answer

comment on week 2 and literally nothing has happened, is this normal in c/semaglutide · 20 points · 7 days ago

okay but what dose of sema are you on

comment on [PSA] 0.25 for four weeks is not a suggestion, it is the whole plan in c/semaglutide · 37 points · 8 days ago

Strongly agree. If it is not working at 12.5mg after 49 weeks, going up is not automatically the answer.

Cite the TGA notice?

comment on what does 0.25 mean, 0.25 of what in c/newbiequestions · 5 points · 15 days ago

Pens or research vials?

comment on oral 50mg vs injectable 2.4 — OASIS 1 numbers are closer than i expected in c/semaglutide · 2 points · 19 days ago

the quiet is real.

Adding to this: 2.4mg is doing more work than the comment implies.

the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to

comment on sunday night injection, 61 weeks straight, ask me anything boring in c/semaglutide · -16 points · 27 days ago

I did the fast version. 2.4mg to 2.5mg in 22 weeks. Spent a weekend learning why the schedule exists.
