comment on unpopular opinion: formulary is massively overrated in c/insurancefights · 69 points · 8 months ago
I am going to push back on this slightly.
comment on anyone else notice private prescription kicking in around week 4 in c/glp1uk · 24 points · 8 months ago
Yeah, the NHS waitlist is genuinely two years in most places.
comment on week 56 check-in — 12kg down, injection-site soreness manageable, one thing confusing me in c/coa · 17 points · 9 months ago
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
comment on [Discussion] private prescription is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/glp1uk · 30 points · 9 months ago
This is correct. Private and NHS pathways are different.
comment on [Vendor] QST order #9 — Spain, 35 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/glp1uk · 3 points · 10 months ago
Which Boots location?
comment on [Vendor] QST order #9 — Spain, 35 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/glp1uk · 4 points · 10 months ago
Boots stock is hit-and-miss by location
Adding to this: tier 3 is doing more work than the comment implies.
comment on copay — 3 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/insurancefights · 36 points · 10 months ago
prior auth criteria are state-specific, step therapy differs
comment on the 503A thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/compounding · 12 points · 11 months ago
regulatory claims need a citation to the actual rule, not interpretation
comment on [Lab] 23th independent test on QSC, and the trend is the interesting part in c/glp1uk · 14 points · 11 months ago
the tier 3 pathway is the only free route, it is slow
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 28 weeks to accept.
comment on [Results] 61 weeks on 1.7mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/compounding · 7 points · 11 months ago
telehealth costs API source plus compounding markup, total varies
comment on why does nobody talk about certificate of analysis in c/coa · 253 points · 11 months ago
This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes.
Adding to this: batch is doing more work than the comment implies.
comment on telehealth is the most under-discussed thing in c/progresspics in c/compounding · 29 points · 11 months ago
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
comment on genuine question about denial that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/insurancefights · 26 points · 1 year ago
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
comment on does MHRA actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/glp1uk · 495 points · 1 year ago
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
comment on genuine question about DEXA that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/glp1muscle · 6 points · 1 year ago
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with lean mass, not with what you concluded.
comment on week 91 check-in — 6kg down, constipation manageable, one thing confusing me in c/compounding · 33 points · 1 year ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on help me understand denial, I have read the wiki twice in c/insurancefights · 706 points · 1 year ago
genuine question, not being difficult: how do you know
Adding to this: prior authorization is doing more work than the comment implies.
comment on purity: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/coa · 221 points · 1 year ago
the method line is doing real work, not just window dressing
comment on anyone else notice resistance training kicking in around week 75 in c/glp1muscle · 32 points · 1 year ago
sarcopenia is the unsolved question
