comment on why does nobody talk about lipids in c/bloodwork · 6 points · 1 year ago
Strongly agree. ALT is where you catch the liver story early.
comment on the mg/mL thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/reconstitution · 12 points · 2 years ago
10mg vial, 2mL water, concentration is 10/2 — write it on the vial afterwards
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 59 weeks to accept.
comment on reading semaglutide threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/semaglutide · 0 points · 2 years ago
This matches my experience almost exactly on the Ozempic pens. The titration is the whole point.
comment on titration: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/semaglutide · 148 points · 2 years ago
titration speed is food noise plus side effects, period
comment on [Meta] the units rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/reconstitution · 79 points · 2 years 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 genuine question about sulphur burps that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/sideeffects · 67 points · 2 years ago
This is correct. The nausea is horrible for three weeks and then just ends.
comment on ferritin — my 8-week log, condensed into one table in c/bloodwork · 269 points · 2 years 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 [Results] 72 weeks, 31kg, and Wegovy was the hard part in c/semaglutide · 126 points · 2 years ago
week 24 and i am still not at maintenance, do not rush the ladder
comment on why does nobody talk about heart rate in c/sideeffects · 357 points · 2 years ago
Are you on a pen or research vial? The formulation changes the profile.
comment on [Vendor] QST order #19 — Canada, 15 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/bloodwork · 35 points · 2 years 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 small win: units stopped being a problem at week 16 in c/reconstitution · 149 points · 2 years ago
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step
comment on 13 months in and fatigue is still the thing I get wrong in c/sideeffects · 51 points · 2 years ago
[deleted]
Disagree on that part. 97.4% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.
comment on reflux — my 11-week log, condensed into one table in c/sideeffects · 6 points · 2 years ago
ask your actual doctor, not us
comment on why does nobody talk about reconstitution in c/reconstitution · 33 points · 2 years ago
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
comment on [Question] weekly dosing — what am I missing here in c/semaglutide · 206 points · 2 years ago
my ApoB moved before the scale did and i nearly missed it
comment on tried semaglutide for 15 weeks. here is what happened. in c/semaglutide · 2k points · 2 years ago
Kept a public log for 3 weeks. The comments are what kept it going, honestly. Accountability from strangers works.
comment on the bacteriostatic water question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/reconstitution · 0 points · 2 years ago
dead space is real and the syringe matters
comment on [Discussion] the 2.4mg advice in here is 16 years out of date in c/semaglutide · 100 points · 2 years ago
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
comment on week 91 check-in — 26kg down, fatigue manageable, one thing confusing me in c/reconstitution · 80 points · 2 years ago
never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about units until somebody posts a number in c/reconstitution · 114 points · 2 years ago
never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration
