They did this with me once, a medication with the same main ingredient but a formulation that worked in a different part of the body.

I dunno. The fact that they gave it as intervals of 7 makes me think it’s week weeks and not work weeks.

I can’t qwhite put my finger on it.

Amazing.

@chronicillness.bsky.social make my dreams come true 😂

Golden doesn’t shock me one minute. I’m so grateful I’m in ME-1.
