Skipping a week does not reset tolerance. It resets your titration.

Left up. It is honest about the reason for stopping and about the timeline.

ApoB is the one worth adding if you only add one
comment on help me understand ALT, I have read the wiki twice in c/bloodwork · 18 points · 1 year ago
a single ApoB outside range is a reason to repeat, not to panic
Agreed — and standardising the draw conditions is the cheapest improvement available.

assay method matters, especially between different labs
comment on is it normal to get muscle cramps at week 90 in c/bloodwork · 64 points · 1 year ago
Draw at the same point in the week now, fasting, same lab. The noise dropped enormously once I standardised.

lab reference ranges are not treatment targets
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring regain at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/tapering · 175 points · 1 year ago
Removed the taper schedule written for another member. Describe your own experience instead.
comment on reading eGFR threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/bloodwork · 62 points · 1 year ago
Agreed. The trend is the signal. A single value is a snapshot of one morning.
comment on nobody warned me about reflux and I would have liked the warning in c/bloodwork · 0 points · 2 years ago
Correcting my own comment: the two draws were 18 weeks apart, not the figure I gave earlier.

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.

Correction: that marker is reported in different units by different labs, which explains the tenfold difference you are seeing.
comment on [PSA] lipids are not what most of this community thinks it is in c/bloodwork · 1 points · 2 years ago
Same view — ApoB if you add one thing. It answers a question the standard panel only gestures at.
