Genuinely asking, not being difficult. Everyone in c/darkspot repeats that insulin resistance is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and…

comment on contraception — my 11-week log, condensed into one table in c/glp1women · 37 points · 11 months ago
Strongly agree. Cycle changes are documented.

the trials mostly studied men, insulin resistance skipped
comment on telehealth is the most under-discussed thing in c/progresspics in c/compounding · 1 points · 11 months ago
the shortage list is temporary, it ends and compounding becomes illegal again
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 51 weeks to accept.
comment on [Results] 61 weeks on 0.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/progresspics · 43 points · 1 year ago
This is correct. Process matters more than the number.
comment on API source: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/compounding · 227 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.

API transparency is the question that separates good compounders from sketchy ones
comment on 503B — 15 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/compounding · 25 points · 1 year ago
Strongly agree. API source transparency matters.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring customs at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/customs · 59 points · 1 year ago
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with personal import, not with what you concluded.
comment on anyone else notice cycle kicking in around week 15 in c/glp1women · -35 points · 1 year ago
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 18–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
comment on someone explain bacteriostatic water to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/reconstitution · 122 points · 1 year ago
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
comment on [Discussion] reconstitution is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/reconstitution · 9 points · 1 year ago
Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.
comment on 22 months in and timeframe is still the thing I get wrong in c/progresspics · 8 points · 1 year ago
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
comment on the Netherlands: mg/mL, and what it actually costs here in c/reconstitution · 196 points · 1 year ago
dead space is real and the syringe matters
comment on my hs-CRP moved and I cannot work out whether seizure is why in c/customs · 87 points · 1 year ago
seizure letters: redact everything identifying

the 24mg import allowance is Denmark-specific
comment on reconstitution — my 21-week log, condensed into one table in c/reconstitution · 11 points · 1 year ago
show your working or it is unhelpful
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on compounding is the most under-discussed thing in c/hplc in c/compounding · 2 points · 1 year ago
the shortage list is temporary, it ends and compounding becomes illegal again
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 36 weeks to accept.
comment on [Results] 66 weeks on 12.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/reconstitution · 246 points · 1 year ago
bacteriostatic and sterile water are not interchangeable, do not use them that way

Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful. Setup: 2.4mg, week 58, injection-site soreness present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one…
