Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
comment on appetite came back at week 30 and i panicked for no reason in c/semaglutide · 295 points · 1 months ago
Stalled at 12.5mg, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 6. Very nearly went up. Glad I did not.

the two-year waiting list is accurate for most of England
comment on [Meta] the mg/mL rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/reconstitution · 1 points · 3 months ago
