Highlights from this day

point_two_five — is it normal for appetite to come back at the end of the week 23:10
vat_on_import — do you escalate on the calendar or on how you feel 23:12
amylin_amy — small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience 23:23
amylin_amy — i went to the top of the ladder, felt no better than two rungs down, and came back. that is data for me and nobody else 23:26
point_two_five — quick one the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess 23:37

is it normal for appetite to come back at the end of the week

U-100 syringe: 1 unit = 0.01 ml
  10u = 0.10 ml
  25u = 0.25 ml
  50u = 0.50 ml
 100u = 1.00 ml
mg drawn = ml drawn x mg/ml

do you escalate on the calendar or on how you feel

🙏1❤️1

if i hold at 15 indefinitely am i losing anything

how do you decide between holding and stepping when both feel wrong

coming back to this my dose day has drifted 8 days later over 21 months, does it matter

how much does the last dose still matter 5 days later

i went from 1 to 2.4 and honestly could not tell the difference in appetite, not advice obviously

small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience

thats noise

i went to the top of the ladder, felt no better than two rungs down, and came back. that is data for me and nobody else

i would hold

update from 26 months ago: held at the same dose the whole time and still losing slowly

i have been at 0.25 for 14 months and honestly i have stopped wanting to move

do you count from injection day or from when you actually felt it

quick one the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess

ok so came down from a treatment dose to maintenance over about three months and it was uneventful

go slower

too early imo

anyone tracked whether a smaller more frequent dose changed their side effects

i escalate on symptoms. if the current dose is still doing something i stay on it
