⭐ VENDOR REVIEW RULES — Read before posting (Updated Jan 2026)

It helps to ask what evidence would change your mind before you look at any.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. It is worth asking what the claim would look like if it were false. If nothing would look different, it is not a claim about the world and no amount of discussion will settle it.

I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.

OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.

For the archive: it took about six weeks rather than the two I expected, and the difference between those two numbers was the whole of my problem.

Following on from Dr.EM_Chicago — and this may be the naive question:

Did your prescriber agree with that reading, and if not what was their objection?

Careful with the causal language. Two things moving together in a period when five things changed is not a mechanism, and stating it as one makes the thread less useful to somebody reading it later.

True, with the qualification that this is a self-selected group. The people for whom it did not work post less, and that shapes everything we think we know.
