comment on TGA is the most under-discussed thing in c/customs in c/glp1aus · 9 points · 1 year ago
I am going to push back on this slightly.
comment on does semaglutide actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/semaglutide · 271 points · 1 year ago
the sulphur burps passes. i promise. not medical advice.
comment on [PSA] heart rate is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/sideeffects · 15 points · 1 year ago
Has anything else changed? Sleep, food, protein, anything?
comment on the food noise thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/semaglutide · 658 points · 1 year 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 my eGFR moved and I cannot work out whether plateau is why in c/semaglutide · 548 points · 1 year ago
the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for nausea posts in c/sideeffects · 137 points · 1 year ago
the food-noise thing stops around week 50 for most people
comment on plateau — my 2-week log, condensed into one table in c/semaglutide · 141 points · 1 year ago
pens are overpriced, research vials are research grade, same molecule different price
comment on heart rate: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/sideeffects · 668 points · 2 years ago
Same experience. Week 84 and it simply stopped. I know that is not useful information but it is what happened.
comment on small win: shortage stopped being a problem at week 71 in c/glp1aus · 12 points · 2 years ago
the regulatory PBS is the blocker
comment on small win: shortage stopped being a problem at week 71 in c/glp1aus · 62 points · 2 years ago
What is the PBS status?
comment on [PSA] VendorInvestigate results are area% by default and people keep forgetting in c/semaglutide · 172 points · 2 years ago
What was the method? "HPLC" is a technique, not a method.
comment on week 36 check-in — 27kg down, sulphur burps manageable, one thing confusing me in c/semaglutide · 0 points · 2 years ago
nope, 0.25 counts, it is just not the dose most people stay on
comment on TGA: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/glp1aus · 1 points · 2 years ago
TGA watches change monthly, follow the list
comment on my ApoB moved and I cannot work out whether 503A is why in c/compounding · 184 points · 2 years ago
Mechanistically the bit that matters is shortage list. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
comment on what changed for me between week 55 and week 9 in c/sideeffects · 114 points · 2 years ago
Same experience. Week 30 and it simply stopped. I know that is not useful information but it is what happened.
comment on week 86 check-in — 27kg down, sulphur burps manageable, one thing confusing me in c/semaglutide · 1 points · 2 years ago
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
comment on [Results] 72 weeks, 31kg, and Wegovy was the hard part in c/semaglutide · 442 points · 2 years ago
Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
comment on [Results] 72 weeks, 31kg, and Wegovy was the hard part in c/semaglutide · 67 points · 2 years ago
week 30 on the pen, 23kg down, this is the answer
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about food noise in c/semaglutide · 47 points · 2 years ago
Right, and the corollary is that stopping escalation does not reset your tolerance, it just pauses the clock.
