Highlights from this day
- triumph_watch — the ladder in the trials is a starting point, not a schedule you owe anyone i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make… 20:15
- thyroid_thea — whats your rule for when a side effect means hold rather than push 20:28
- thyroid_thea — 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 21:15
- taper_tess — is week 3 too early to be thinking about the next step 22:07
- dark_for_ten_days — plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data, we shall see 22:28
too early imo
the ladder in the trials is a starting point, not a schedule you owe anyone
i log dose, day, weight and one line about how the week felt. thats enough to make decisions on
holding is not failing. most people here who lasted two years held at least one dose for months
whats your rule for when a side effect means hold rather than push

dose day drift is mostly harmless with a weekly compound, but pick a day and defend it
held for months

steady state is 5 weeks
whats a sensible maintenance dose after a year at treatment dose

the argument for splitting is a flatter curve. the argument against is you have doubled your injections for a guess
slightly off topic but how do you decide between holding and stepping when both feel wrong
you do not have to escalate at all. that is a real option that gets forgotten
small steps are better than big ones and the only reason people take big ones is impatience
i drifted from sunday to wednesday over a year and only noticed when i checked the log
end of week thing
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 went up too fast and im paying for it, do i drop back or ride it out
what does the room think about jumping a rung to catch up
is week 3 too early to be thinking about the next step

came down, no regrets
do you tell your prescriber you held or do you just hold
plateau versus set point is not answerable in under six months of data, we shall see
