what changed for me between week 5 and week 48
Confession thread, sort of. I went from 0.5mg to 12.5mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 16 weeks…

Your TSH is probably fine. Get it checked anyway if you are symptomatic.

comment on GIP agonism explained like i am five, please in c/tirzepatide · 132 points · 10 days ago
dual agonism is 15mg, do not generalise from semaglutide
comment on [Titration] 12 weeks per step is not too slow, it is just unfashionable in c/tirzepatide · 11 points · 13 days ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on [Janoshik] JEEP reta 10mg — 98.9%, and yes i paid for it myself in c/labresults · 26 points · 16 days ago
Is that 96.8% area or mass?
comment on [Explainer] which labs are worth repeating quarterly and which are theatre in c/bloodwork · 1 points · 21 days ago
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
comment on [Discussion] we need a standard template or these posts are unsearchable in c/labresults · 41 points · 29 days ago
Yeah, the PeptideMeter number matching the claim is the actual signal.
comment on [Medutest] SWB sema — 98.2%, cold chain intact, 9 days transit in c/labresults · 4 points · 1 months ago
reship and retest is the honest way to handle a low result
comment on [Meta] the 15mg rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/tirzepatide · 28 points · 1 months 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 help me understand A1c, I have read the wiki twice in c/bloodwork · 5 points · 1 months ago
What are your reference ranges?
comment on [Question] Sweden — has anyone got a straight answer on GIP in c/tirzepatide · 2 points · 2 months ago
week 4 on Mounjaro and the appetite profile is genuinely different from sema
comment on am I the only one who found below spec harder than the injections in c/labresults · 9 points · 2 months ago
the Medutest and PeptideMeter results differ by 5 points, both inside inter-lab variance
comment on am I the only one who found timeframe harder than the injections in c/progresspics · 9 points · 2 months ago
non-scale victories count, post them
comment on [Vendor] QST order #21 — Canada, 21 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/bloodwork · 45 points · 3 months ago
HOMA-IR is crude but free and useful for tracking
comment on am I the only one who found test results harder than the injections in c/labresults · -9 points · 3 months ago
the 98.4% result confirmed the vendor claim, that is the signal
comment on why does nobody talk about PeptideMeter in c/labresults · 1 points · 4 months ago
multiple batches from CPC show a spread, that is the data
comment on stalled for 16 weeks at 7.5mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/tirzepatide · 17 points · 4 months ago
the GIP side does different things than the GLP-1 side, that is the point
comment on [Question] Australia — has anyone got a straight answer on below spec in c/labresults · 39 points · 4 months ago
QYB claimed 99.1%, PeptideMeter came back 99.3%. 19 points is inter-lab variance, no drama.
comment on small win: test results stopped being a problem at week 16 in c/labresults · 4 points · 5 months ago
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 20–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
comment on [Results] 42 weeks, 16kg, and below spec was the hard part in c/labresults · 167 points · 5 months ago
The Janoshik result at 97.2% was below the 97.4% claim. WXT retested at their cost and came back 97.2%. Logged as resolved.

Zepbound and Mounjaro are literally the same drug, the name is the only difference
