is it normal to get injection-site soreness at week 87

Explainerbranch of 13 comments

is it normal to get injection-site soreness at week 87. Same spreadsheet I have been keeping since the start, nothing retrofitted. Took a baseline the week before starting purely because this board told me to. Best five minutes I have spent on this. Tracked triglycerides against the weight trend for a year. The…

ApoB counts atherogenic particles rather than the cholesterol they carry, which is why it can diverge from LDL-C and why it is the addition most worth making.

Identifying header cropped from the report above. Post the values, not the name and reference number.

lab reference ranges are not treatment targets

How many weeks between the two measurements?

Did anything else change in that window — training, intake, hydration?

one measurement is a point, two is a line, three is a trend

cormac_roos is right that a reference interval is not a target. It is a description of a population.

Have you taken this to whoever ordered it?

How to make a panel worth comparing, which is most of the value people leave on the table.

Standardise the conditions: same lab, same fasting state, same rough time of day, same point in the week, similar hydration. Take a baseline before you change anything. Repeat any surprising value before acting on it. Change one thing at a time if you want to attribute anything to it.

Do that and a year of panels is a trend. Skip it and a year of panels is a collection of unrelated mornings, which is what most of the alarmed posts here are actually describing.

Added ApoB to the panel after a thread here. It told me something the standard lipid panel had been hiding.

Yes — same lab, same fasting state, same rough time of day, or the comparison is doing nothing.

Same lab as the previous draw?
